Greater Victoria, Metropolitan region in Vancouver Island, Canada
Greater Victoria spans across the southern tip of Vancouver Island, encompassing multiple municipalities connected by highways, parks, and waterfront areas throughout British Columbia.
The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Victoria in 1843, leading to the settlement's growth as a major trading post before becoming British Columbia's capital.
The region maintains strong connections to Indigenous heritage through the presence of Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, who inhabited this territory before European arrival.
The Capital Regional District operates an integrated public transportation system with buses and ferries connecting Victoria's downtown to surrounding municipalities.
The Parliament Buildings illuminate the Inner Harbour with 3,333 lights each evening, creating a reflection pattern on the water visible from multiple viewpoints.
