VICTORIA
CONFERENCE
LOCATION
Inn at Laurel Point
Victoria, British Columbia
This elegant harbor front resort is a short stroll from the
Parliament Building, Royal British Columbia Museum and
the vibrant downtown. Enjoy the harbor view while you
enjoy the cuisine at Aura Restaurant.
In a city filled with well preserved Victorian and Edwardian
architecture and overflowing flower gardens, Victoria
looks and feels like an outpost of the British Empire.
Located on the tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the
provincial capital of British Columbia and its second largest
city. Downtown is full of cosmopolitan charm and offers
a variety of sightseeing, shopping and dining options.
Comfortable walking shoes are a must. Your dining
options range from “pub grub” to the finest international
cuisine. July is the perfect time to visit the renowned
Butchart Gardens or explore the harbor in a water taxi.
Don’t forget your golf clubs. Victoria offers many golf
courses to suit any level of play. For those who like an
urban hike, they can experience the Galloping Goose Trail.
“The Goose” is an ideal trail for all ages including families
with children. The Galloping Goose can be experienced on
foot, bike and horseback for most of the way.
