Oak Bay Living

West Coast lifestyle at its finest Why move to Oak Bay 1. Schools From kindergarten to college and university, schools are within walking or cycling distance for many children and families. 2. Parks Oak Bay is blessed with a variety of parks, ranging from children’s playgrounds and a water spray park to sports facilities, beautiful beaches and even a par 3 municipal golf course. 3. Recreation Oak Bay Recreation Centre is regularly named the best in the region for its public pool, skating rink, indoor soccer pitch, expansive weight room and more. Oak Bay also boasts two premier golf-courses, Uplands Golf Course and the Victoria Golf Club, popular walking, running and cycling routes and ample offshore activities. 4. Shopping & Dining Find exceptional boutique shopping and dining in two centres, Oak Bay Village and Estevan village. 5. Events A full calendar of events takes place in the community and local venues, including our new community theatre.

Discover Oak Bay

elcome to Oak Bay, home to just over 18,000 people living along the Salish Sea. A residential community a few minutes from downtown Victoria, Oak Bay’s business core is located along Oak Bay Avenue, with several smaller villages in the Estevan neighbourhood and along Cadboro Bay Road. To the north is the University of Victoria and the municipality of Saanich. With its scenic streetscapes, cycle-friendly neighbourhoods and beautiful ocean-front vistas, it’s no wonder Oak Bay is popular with both visitors and locals. Why do people live in Oak Bay? It’s all about the lifestyle. Sure, there’s the mild year-round climate, charming neighbourhoods and good

schools, but more than that, it’s about a place that celebrates its beautiful natural environment, its history and its culture. It’s a place where you can enjoy a round of golf in the morning, a paddle in the afternoon, and dinner from an award-winning chef in the evening, all without leaving Oak Bay. As you stroll Oak Bay’s tree-lined streets, enjoy architecture ranging from Tudor revival and Art Deco to Arts and Crafts and more modern interpretations of classic styles. Families enjoy the opportunity to walk or cycle to school – from primary right through university – to the local recreation centres and to community events hosted throughout the year. The arts are a big part of life in Oak Bay. Discover

(Black Press File Photo) the ArtsAlive sculpture walk, enjoy a concert at the Dave Dunnet Community Theatre, or catch a play at the University of Victoria’s Phoenix Theatre. Renowned dining options include small bistros, Britishstyle pubs, specialty delis

and world-class dining – truly something for just about every taste. Throughout its history, Oak Bay has been one of the region’s most desirable places to live. Come discover why.

Some might leave Oak Bay, only to return Oak Bay desirable for its balance of a vibrant community and quiet streets

sk Mayor Kevin Murdoch and the number one thing that draws people to Oak Bay is the genuine sense of community. ”There are a surprising number of multi-generational families in Oak Bay, many who follow a pattern similar to mine: I moved away after university, built a career, then moved back to raise a family,” said Murdoch.

Some move back to retire as a healthy refresh, Murdoch noted. “Our excellent schools are flourishing with the number of young families who move here. We also have great recreation facilities for all ages - including a seniors-oriented facility that helps build social connections, fitness, and lifelong learning.” Of course, it’s not just the people who grew up in Oak Bay who make it special, as the city continues to attract newcomers from across the region, Canada, and around the world, Murdoch said.

“Neighbours know neighbours, and they stop to talk to each other on the street,” he says. “People are drawn by the mild and dry climate, clean environment, safety and community feel, I’m always impressed by the number of retirees from the Canadian foreign service who choose Oak Bay as the permanent home, recognizing the positive attributes of our small community.” Oak Bay Mayor Kevin In terms of getting around, the Murdoch streets are quiet and welcoming See next page

As the company president, I want to say how privileged I feel to have been associated for the past 33 years, with such a talented and hard-working group of Professionals. As a young man who started my real estate career in 1959, 60 years ago, it is such an honour for me to know that Newport Realty has been recognized on the world stage.

to the Management and all our Newport associates for their efforts in winning Christie’s International Real Estate 2018 “Affiliate of the Year”. This prestigious award was accepted on our behalf by Jack Petrie and Michael Ziegler at a dazzling banquet and ceremony held at the Palace of Versailles following the CIRE Owners’ conference in Paris.

times quirky, but always beautiful, safe and welcoming.” To top it all off, Oak Bay has one of the highest levels of tree canopy cover and some of the most picturesque shorelines in Canada. “Most visitors are struck by the lush greenery and natural beauty of our Garry oak ecosystem,” Murdodch said. “Our shoreline and beaches attract visitors from all across the region: for storm-watching in winter and sunbathing the rest of the year. “Oak Bay is a rare urban community where one can see sea lions, eagles, cormorants, whales, deer, otters, seals, mink, and a myriad of rare seabirds on an everyday walk,” Murdoch says.

for all modes of transportation. Many streets are seemingly covered with mature trees that seem to filter through the sunlight but shelter out the rain. In Oak Bay, easy access to parks and recreation facilities helps residents of all ages stay active and engaged. More recently, the ArtsAlive public art displays have enhanced the already rich artistic community of Oak Bay. “For years, Oak Bay has been a centre for the arts in Greater Victoria, Murdoch said. “The Avenue is home to many premier art galleries and public art now dots the walkways, parks and village centres throughout the district. The public painted pianos arrive in various locations every summer.” The city boasts the Canadian College of Performing Arts, a national training centre and the University of Victoria theatre school. For the patrons, there are walking art appreciation tours, literary events, professional artist showcases, studio tours, and summer music in the park concerts. Add to all of that the four-year-old Dave Dunnet Community Theatre, a thriving new hub for live entertainment and performance in Oak Bay High. Even Oak Bay’s emergency services are responsive, friendly and worldclass. “In short, it’s a small town within minutes of a larger downtown that is at
