Neighbourhoods
This is the village where we live: rural, with hundreds of kms of wood trails to walk, hike or cycle. You can go all the way to Victoria or to Sooke on the Galloping goose trail, or use the E & N Trail to go downtown, or just walk any trail to get a nature bath!

Místní doprava
go around in car or by public transit or by bike.
Driving to downtown Victoria is a 20-30 minute drive depending on your choice of route.
With a minimum of planning, public transit can be a safe and easy way to go about visiting Victoria and its surroundings. A flat fee of $5 allows you to travel all day in the system.
The network of bike trails is expanding annually and offers a safe and fun way to go around. You can put a bike on a bus (not an e-bike)

British Royal Museum
A unique experiential museum telling the story of Victoria and the province of British Columbia through exhibits that you walk in. See the great mammoth, visit Captain Cook's boat, a fish canning, a mine...A fantastic way to spend half a day with the family.

Good walking shoes!
You will want to walk in the streets of Victoria and beyond the main downtown core: go visit James Bay to see the houses where people used to live including our famous artist Emily Carr. And go walk the trails in our many many local parks: get a forest immersion. From the short Devonian Park to the longer trails in East Sooke Park: taste the local environment.

Comfortable casual clothes
We are very informal here in Victoria, and more so in our little village just outside Victoria. Jeans are seen everywhere.
Cestování s dětmi
the best fun is at the beach: it's free and private.
Our private beach is not accessible to the general public: only 3 properties have access to it, and we are practically always the only ones using it. Search for beach glass, interesting rocks, walk on the logs, build castles, scramble on the shore with your teens for a little expedition, get your toes in the water. Endless adventures.
