Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, Canada, and is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada’s Pacific coast.

Nicknamed the “City of Gardens,” Victoria is an attractive city and a major tourism destination. It is also western Canada’s epicenter for the technology industry. In fact, technology is one of the city’s chief industries, with various high tech firms involved in new media design, web design, computers, engineering, architecture and telecommunications. The city also has a large student population with those who come to attend the University of Victoria, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, and other educational institutes.

Victoria is about 100 kilometres  from BC’s largest city of Vancouver on the mainland and 100 kilometres  north of Seattle by airplane or ferry.

Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest. The city’s Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco’s. The region’s Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration. Victoria, like many Vancouver Island communities, continues to have a sizable First Nations presence, composed of peoples from all over Vancouver Island and beyond.
