Victoria BC – A City Like No Other

If you’re thinking of taking some family Holidays in Canada then you must consider visiting Victoria BC.

Victoria has been labeled by visitors many times over as perhaps one of the most ‘beautiful places in the world‘.

I couldn’t agree more!

I grew up in this lovely city and even though I moved away many years ago, I still enjoy visiting family members as often as I can who still live on the Island.

Here’s an excellent short video on some of the highlights of City.

Definitely taking a few moments to watch!

Enjoy …

I have fond memories of growing up in Victoria and hope to move back very soon, spending the last half of life in this wonderful city.

From riding my bike in pea soup fog, having fish and chips at Fisherman’s Wharf, to the sounds of the fog horns off the island putting me to sleep at night, it truly was a great place to grow up.

My parents escaped the cold winters of Alberta moving to Victoria when I was just a little boy and thinking about it today, am I ever glad they did!

Victoria is situated on Vancouver Island in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

The City is the Capital of BC and is located on the southern tip of the island.

Vancouver Island is located off the Pacific West Coast of Canada approximately 100 kilometers from the mainland and City of Vancouver.

Greater Victoria has an area population of about 330,000 and continues to grow and expand each year.

The reason being, it is perhaps one of the most desirable places in Canada to live.

Why you ask?

Well for starters its beauty and climate are probably the two biggest reasons. The west coast and in particular the southern the tip of Vancouver Island, offer the warmest year round climate of all of Canada and breathtaking scenery to go along with it as well.

Victoria BC – City of Gardens

Famous for the City are the hundreds of hanging baskets you will discover throughout the City.

If you like golf, well you’ve come to the right place. Because of the warm climate, golf courses are open year round.

Want to play a round on Christmas Day? Should not be a problem in this City!

Of course summertime is always the most preferred time to take your Holidays in Canada, unless of course you partake in the endless amount of winter activities available.

To experience the absolute beauty and view the many activities Victoria BC has to offer, then here at Holidays for Family , we suggest July, August and September as the ultimate time to visit the City.

There are so many unique summer activities and planned events taking place and so much to do at this time of year. The city simply comes alive, like most, in the summer months.
