Welcome to British Columbia s historic capital city, the city of gardens and the city of restaurants March 4, 2021 As flocks of construction cranes sway over Victoria, building new complexes or reviving old ones, some say British Columbia’s capital city is in transition. And they’re right. But the city has ebbed and flowed since the Hudson’s Bay Company planted a fort near the harbour in 1843, taking over the territories of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations who’d used the area as their winter home for millennia. Victoria’s harbour served as a gathering place for First Nations. Today, these traditions continue. Mammoth cruise ships and big ferries arrive from Seattle and Port Angeles, in Washington State, while tiny ferries dart around, pleasure craft seek moorage and a lively floatplane airport still bring people together here. Artists and buskers enliven the causeway bordering the harbour. Flower baskets swing from the heritage lampposts.
