COLWOOD sparkles for the HOLIDAYS

Make your holidays bright and joyful. Enjoy time with friends and loved ones with a wander through the sparkling light tunnels coming to Meadow Park in Royal Bay and the magical Forest Lights returning to Herm Williams Park.

3 SIMPLE WAYS to get into the Colwood Holiday Spirit

1

Play together

Bring more joy to your holidays! Colwood is all about playing in nature with places like WildPlay Victoria. Gather a gang and go climbing, swinging and zipping through the trees, or test your lumberjack skills with a little axe throwing. Prefer to keep your feet on the ground? Lace up your skates and slip on your mittens and head to Juan de Fuca Arena for some good old fashioned fun. Or skip the ice and head for the green. Colwood is home to three golf courses where our mild climate makes it possible to golf all year round. Ease into it at the Juan de Fuca Golf Course or go the full 18 at Olympic View Golf Course.

Colwood is home to people and organizations that care, like the Victoria Backpack Project, the Goldstream Food Bank and the wellness programs at Pacific Centre Family Services Association. Now, more than ever, knowing someone cares can make all the difference. Go to facebook/BackpackProjectVictoriaBC, PacificCentreFamilyServices.org or GoldstreamFoodBank.org

3 Explore special places

Is there any place as magical as a castle? As intriguing as a lighthouse? As beautiful as an old growth forest? As powerful as the winter waves crashing up on an ocean beach? Colwood is filled with special places to spend healthy, quality time with loved ones this holiday season. Visit Hatley Castle & Gardens and wander the lush forest trails that weave throughout miles of scented forest trails and the shore of Esquimalt Lagoon. Explore Fort Rodd Hill and the iconic Fisgard Lighthouse where history meets nature in the most wonderful ways. Bundle up and feel the vast power of the ocean as you lean into the wind and the ocean thunders all around you at the Lagoon Beach.

GIFTS & WISHES

Beautiful artwork and handmade gifts created by local artists Saturday & Sunday, November 27 & 28 from 10am to 4pm Pendray House, 3221 Heatherbell Road

Don’t miss this opportunity to find unique and beautiful gifts created by local artists.
