Colwood

Colwood sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in British Columbia, where southern Vancouver Island faces Washington State’s Olympic Mountains across the water. Part of Greater Victoria, the city combines established residential neighbourhoods with a long shoreline that includes Esquimalt Lagoon and its migratory-bird habitat. Royal Roads University occupies the historic Hatley Park estate, whose 1908 Hatley Castle was built for former British Columbia premier James Dunsmuir. Nearby, Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site preserves coastal-defence works and Fisgard Lighthouse, the first lighthouse on Canada’s Pacific coast.
