Why Consider Victoria
Many Alberta-based military families consider Victoria for its mild climate and outdoor lifestyle. After cold prairie winters, the temperate coastal climate of Victoria is a major draw. Edmonton offers affordable housing and big-city amenities, but Victoria provides a unique quality of life with ocean access and year-round outdoor recreation.
