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 Coilumbia,
has much to offer.
