Welcome to a community for the City of Victoria and the Greater Victoria region!

Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia and the Greater Victoria Region is comprised of 13 municipalities with a combined population of nearly 400,000. The region measures 2,441 square-kilometers, representing seven per cent of Vancouver Island’s landmass but about half its population.

Please keep things civil and respectful. Hopefully this can become a great place for local news, events, and questions!

Let me know if I can improve anything about this Lemmy community, i.e. sidebar updates, banner/logo, megathreads, etc…

Any posts about Vancouver Island are welcome as well. I don’t think there’s enough people on Lemmy yet to start a VI community, so let’s also welcome any/all Islanders here!
