Sooke, District municipality on Vancouver Island, Canada
The Sooke region contains 56 square kilometers of coastal terrain with forests stretching from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Sooke Hills.
The area transformed from an unincorporated settlement to an official district municipality in December 1999, establishing local administrative governance for 15,000 residents.
Indigenous communities of First Nations maintained settlements in the Sooke area for generations before European colonization began in the nineteenth century.
Residents and visitors access Sooke through regular bus services from Victoria, with the journey taking approximately one hour along Highway 14.
The Sooke Potholes Regional Park features geological formations where the river carved deep pools into the bedrock, creating natural swimming areas.
