Anyone attempting to travel McKenzie Ave, Douglas St, Old Island Hghway at Craigflower, Trans-Canada Highway intersection at Admiral and McKenzie Ave. will quickly realize we are heading into grid lock.

Hatley Park colors are spectacular as the vines on Hatley Castle go from greens to bright reds. Walking the Gorge Waterway may give you a glimpse of migrating birds, a seal looking for food or kayakers paddling against the tide. If timed right you will see the reversing falls under the Tillicum Bridge. This site is sacred to our First Nations people and there is information posted about the site under the bridge.
