Welcome
to Victoria, The City of Gardens and the capital of
British Columbia. Victoria was ranked by Condé Nast Traveler magazine readers as one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit, and number two in the world for ambience and environment. Greater Victoria is made up of thirteen municipalities
and has a population of about 320,000.
Each municipality consists of
several distinct and interesting neighbourhoods. Contact Carl and ask him to
place you in the one that suits you.
Due to Victoria's very mild
climate, and with one acre of parkland per 20 people, opportunities for
recreational activities continue year-round. Spring begins very early in
Victoria, and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't rain here all the
time! The climate makes Victoria a popular destination for visitors and
for people looking to relocate.
The lifestyle you can expect to enjoy
here is better than anywhere in Canada.
