Victoria – A National Treasure
Royal Roads University is located a short 15 minute drive from downtown Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, Canada, on the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island. Founded in 1843, today’s Victoria has grown from its very English origins into a city lled with sophisticated, international avour and spectacular natural beauty. It is a place where the casual modernism of the West Coast blends with time-honoured British, European,
First Nations, and Asian traditions.
Victoria is a laid-back city, with plenty of cafés and restaurants offering international cuisine as well as great shopping for every budget. Enjoy a wide variety of live theatre performances, art galleries, and year round music and art festivals.
The city has a friendly atmosphere and its reputation for good health and outdoor lifestyle is well known throughout Canada. Enjoy a round of golf, go skiing or snowboarding, or take
a boat out shing, whale watching, or scuba diving in this island paradise.
With the mildest climate in Canada, spectacular natural beauty, year-round outdoor activities, and world renowned attractions, it is no wonder that Victoria is a favourite with both Canadian and international tourists. With so many guests visiting our city each year, we are used to hosting friends from around the world and always give a safe, warm, and friendly welcome.
With plants and owers over owing in the summertime and festive lights lining the city streets in winter, Victoria is a breathtaking city whatever the season.
