As a major international tourist destination, Victoria offers a very wide variety of activities for all ages, all within easy reach of the campus. If you're bringing your family, there are lots of things for them to do while you're at the conference, and getting around on the bus is easy. Tourism Victoria has a range of excellent suggestions for longer tours, ranging from short one-day trips in the Victoria area to week-long Gulf Island or Native Heritage tours.

The University of Victoria offers innovative programs for more than 20,000 students. Dynamic, hands-on learning, research that makes a vital impact, and discovery and innovation in Canada’s most extraordinary academic environment provide an Edge that can’t be found anywhere else.
