Comox stands out for its environmental initiatives and quality-of-life programs. The town is designated as a Bird-Friendly Community and Bee City, with active efforts to support pollinators and manage its urban forest. They run an e-bike share program (Evolve), maintain EV charging stations, and promote cycling infrastructure. Community programs include the annual Comox Nautical Days Festival, the Hands on Farm (a community agricultural space), accessible recreation initiatives, and the Snow Angel Program for winter assistance. There’s also a youth-focused pump track project in development.

The town encourages public engagement through council delegations, development consultations, and feedback mechanisms for residents who want to weigh in on local decisions. The community centre offers fitness facilities, programs, and court rentals. Age-friendly planning initiatives aim to make Comox accessible and livable for all residents.
