Cole Island National Historic Site
$85.00 – $465.00Cole Island National Historic Site
$85.00 – $465.00Cole Island is a provincial and a national historic site located in Esquimalt Harbour. In 1860, the Royal Navy began construction of a munitions depot on Cole Island. Eventually, 16 solid structures were used to store and recondition highly explosive munitions during the Crimean war and throughout World War One. Five buildings remain. The beautiful island is open to the public during daylight hours, and many kayakers and other boaters stop there to take the self-guided tour.

The Carnegie Library
$85.00 – $460.00The Carnegie Library
$85.00 – $460.00A little over a century ago, American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie laid the groundwork for today’s modern information network by donating millions of dollars toward the design, construction and development of libraries in Canada and around the world. Victoria’s Carnegie Library was completed in 1905, and is an important historic architectural landmark (so important there’s a Canadian postage stamp that commemorates it).

Parliament Buildings British Columbia
$85.00 – $465.00Not even the moon can compete with the three thousand lights that set the Parliament Buildings aglow each night. Located on Victoria’s Inner Harbour, construction of the iconic Romanesque Revival building began in 1893 with further additions completed between 1912-1916. I used to work across the street from the building and had the pleasure of visiting it many times. The evening light-up is a tourist favourite.
