Colwood, Coastal city in Vancouver Island, Canada

Colwood extends across 17.66 square kilometers of land, featuring multiple neighborhoods including Royal Roads, Triangle Mountain, and Latoria near Victoria, British Columbia.

The Hudson's Bay Company established Colwood as one of four substantial farms in the 1850s to provide resources for Fort Victoria's expanding population.

The land represents the traditional territory of the Teechamista and Lekwungen-speaking peoples, including the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations of Vancouver Island.

The municipality maintains numerous public parks, beaches, and trail systems, connecting residential areas to natural spaces through an extensive network of pathways.

Royal Roads University occupies a former military college within Colwood, set against the backdrop of Vancouver Island's southern coastline.
