Victoria is proud to feature a historic and attractive downtown with numerous highlights. The oceanfront Inner Harbour features the timeless Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings, Royal British Columbia Museum and scenic areas with amazing summertime displays of flowers. Enjoy the offshore breezes which keep summer days from becoming too hot and maintain a favourable winter temperature as well.

Today with an estimated regional population of 326,000, a moderate climate and scenic setting, Victoria has retained a very vital but comfortable quality of life. Victoria is also home to Canada’s western naval base, a major Canadian fishing fleet and its many sea and air links have made the area a hub for business development and economic investment.

The wild beauty of the Pacific coast and the adventure of the great outdoors are within the city limits and ocean and mountain vistas will follow you wherever you go. With a clean environment and charming ambience, it is no surprise that Victoria is one of the world’s favourite destinations.
