Our History

The Shady Rest has been a part of Qualicum's landscape since 1924.

Built by Thomas Kinkade Jr, the Shady spanned three generations - 61 years - of his family before the being sold to Wayne Duncan in 1985.

Duncan, formerly of the Prairie Inn Pub outside Victoria, renovated the old Shady and has been proudly serving the area's locals and visitors ever since. (over 30 years, but who's counting)

As Qualicum's oldest operating business, The Shady would like to thank you for your support.
