With the promise of clear skies and mild temperatures, there’s no better time to soak up the beauty of Vancouver Island’s capital city.
It’s great conditions for outdoor activities, such as strolling along the Inner Harbour, picnicking at Beacon Hill Park, or cycling along the Galloping Goose Trail (maybe pack a light sweater for those slight winds).
