Why Consider Victoria

After the cold winters of Winnipeg, Victoria's mild climate is a major draw. Many air force personnel transfer from 17 Wing to west coast postings at CFB Comox or CFB Esquimalt. Victoria offers a dramatically different lifestyle with ocean access, year-round outdoor recreation, and a vibrant community.
