The City of Victoria
The City of Victoria, located on the Southern tip of
Vancouver Island, is Western Canada's oldest city and the capital of
British Columbia. As such, it is home to the provincial legislature. It
is a community of choice for many, due to its temperate climate,
natural beauty, and superior economic opportunities. The City of
Victoria has a population of approximately 74,000. Readers of Conde
Nast Traveler magazine rate Victoria #1 for environment and ambience
and the best overall City in Canada. Macleans magazine recently rated
Victoria as the number one city in Canada in which to locate a family
business.
Victoria West occupies a peninsula
bounded by the scenic Gorge / Selkirk waterway, the harbour and the
eastern border of Esquimalt. Its 155 hectares (380 acres) represents
eight per cent of Victoria's land base. With the development of
Westside Village and the continuing development of the Songhees lands,
Vic West offers its residents quality retail, traditional residential
and multi-family housing options as well as scenic waterfront walkways.
Governments at all levels provide a major employment base in the City
with 18 of the largest employers coming from the public sector.
