Victoria, BC

We live in Victoria and enjoy writing about our home city!

The capital of British Columbia, it’s where old-world charm meets natural beauty, from the historic Parliament Buildings to the blooming Butchart Gardens.

Kayak the serene waters, wander along the picturesque Inner Harbor and indulge in fresh seafood. Victoria’s mild climate and welcoming vibe make it the perfect Canadian destination to visit, especially in summer!

A great starting point…
