Location, location,

Situated on the tip of
Vancouver Island, Victoria is the Capital city of British Columbia and
home of the Parliament Buildings. With a rich cultural and architectural
heritage and its eco-adventures and night life—Victoria is very West
Coast, very ‘hip’ and truly wonderful. What’s more, as a city by the sea,
Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada with lots of sunshine. Flowers
in bloom all year-round; even hanging from the lamp posts throughout the
downtown area (captured in our medal design/logo for the event).
Victoria was recently
voted in the North American Traveler’s magazine as one of the top 10
cities in Canada to visit. It was voted by readers of Conde Nast Traveler
as “#1 City in the America’s for ambience and adventure” and Vancouver
Island was rated as “#1 Island” by Traveler’s Magazine. 3.5 million
people visit Victoria each year!
As one of the top
tourist destinations in North America, Victoria offers amazing tourist
attractions for all ages, including the
Pacific
Undersea Gardens,

(renowned as the ‘8th Wonder of the World’),
