About the North Island Office
Steps to the ocean on Granville Street in Port Hardy is where you’ll find our 460 North Island office. Port Hardy & Port McNeill are two of the larger towns on the North Island, with the communities of Sayward, Woss, Telegraph Cove, Alert Bay & Sointula, Winter Harbour, Coal Harbour, Holberg, Zeballos, Kyuquot, Quatsino & Port Alice rounding out the residential areas north of Campbell River. The North Island has a history steeped in industry, rich with stories of mining, forestry, and is also home to the 18 First Nations of the Kwakwaka’wakw People.
The pristine lakes and rivers, lush forests, rocky mountain ranges & white sandy shores of the North Island create an incredibly diverse ecosystem. Cultural centres around the North Island share stories of the First Nations people, and offer interactive experiences to learn through cedar bark weaving, traditional dancing, and more. Wildlife abounds, with many of the communities offering whale & bear watching tours, as well as fishing charters year-round. The communities of Port McNeill and Port Hardy offer a variety of convenient and essential services, including an airport, hospital and health care services, as well as marinas and other community facilities.

Merrilee Tognela began her real estate journey in 1998, when she started her career selling real estate in Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands). From there, she moved to Port Hardy before relocating to the Nanaimo area in 2000 to work with the Coast Realty Group. Merrilee was very successful during her time at Coast, winning over 20 awards for being a top listing agent. Additionally, she landed in the top 2% of sales, and was also named the top-selling female agent in Canada.
Most recently, Merrilee decided to make the leap from Coast to work with the 460 Realty Group, where she specializes in her passion for selling real estate in Northern Vancouver Island, including areas such as Port Hardy and Port McNeill.
Merrilee enjoys life at home with her husband, her two cats, and her golden retriever Bella. She also has two daughters, two grandsons and two granddaughters. In her spare time, Merrilee is heavily involved with a number of animal rescue charities, including two in Port Hardy – the Cats Meow and Four Paws.
