Outdoor Adventures

Jam-packed day of activities, starting with a nature walk at Goldstream Park where we learned about the importance of the estuary.

Followed by a visit to Fort Rodd NHS where we learned about the important role this site played in defending the West Coast.

Then it was off to Chinatown where we learned about the significance of Victoria's Chinatown to the history of Victoria, Canada and China.

And if that wasn't enough, it was into the swimming pool to really tire the kids out!
