So what about Victoria?

Victoria, perched on the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island, is the capital city of British Columbia.

Made up of the city of Victoria and the municipalities of Oak Bay, Saanich, View Royal and Esquimalt, Greater Victoria boasts a population of almost 290,000, making it Vancouver Island’s largest metropolitan area.

Victoria, BC, is also known as Canada’s ‘Best Blooming City’! Springtime finds streets lined with blossoming trees, and during the summer, baskets brimming with flowers are hung on the city’s 19th century style street lamps. Each February, while the rest of the country is still shivering through winter, local gardeners and flower enthusiasts join the ‘flower count’ to tally the blossoms all over town. Four million blooms is not an unusual total.

First established as a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, Victoria preserves its interesting past in a number of BC museums and historic buildings throughout the area. With the fur trade a thing of the past, the area is now a centre for shipping, commerce, tourism, culture, and sport. It is also boasts one of British Columbia’s main universities, the University of Victoria.

Victoria is also home to numerous parks, complete with hiking trails, picnic areas, ball parks, petting farms, tennis courts, flower gardens and more.

Whether you are a history buff, enjoy sightseeing, shopping or engaging in recreational activities, Victoria, British Columbia, has much to offer.
