Victoria, which is the capital city of the province of British Columbia in Canada, is home to approximately 345,000 people within the greater Victoria area.
Located on the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Greater Victoria is the largest urban region on Vancouver Island with people from afar drawn to its Mediterranean-style climate, beautiful surroundings, year-round golf season and generally relaxed pace of life.
Victoria’s major industries are tourism, education and government administration and services, although recent studies have now indicated that the high tech industry has eclipsed tourism as the top-performing economic sector. Fueled by one of Canada’s hottest economies, Victoria is experiencing a booming real estate market that is also being observed in other Canadian cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
A stroll around Victoria and its picturesque harbour will delight visitors with a rich history of First Nations art, tall ships and heritage architecture. Close proximity of the University of Victoria provides a fresh, energetic and trendy influence mirrored in shop windows and world-class restaurants and cafés.
With the combination of old-world charm and modern-day city style, it’s little wonder that Victoria, BC is one of North America’s most desirable places to visit, live, work or play.
