Victoria

Among the cities of British Columbia, Victoria stands out for its harbourfront setting at the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The city faces the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with the Olympic Mountains of Washington often visible across the water. Its Inner Harbour is framed by the British Columbia Parliament Buildings and the Fairmont Empress, a landmark hotel opened in 1908. Victoria is built within the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, whose presence remains central to the region’s identity.
