Fisherman's Wharf
A unique working marina, Fisherman's Wharf has been a part of Victoria's harbour history for nearly 70 years. Despite being a tourist hot-spot, there exists the heart of a floating village.
​
Help preserve Heron Cove, a small but active urban sanctuary for birds and other wildlife, as it is continuously threatened by increased urban human activity.
Float Homes
Float homes have been a fixture of coastal life long before BC was even a province. Like many float home communities, new or lacking regulations (as well as differing opinions on the floating lifestyle) have historically threatened the demise of the float home village. Thankfully in Victoria, our leaders envision a long future of floating homes at Fisherman's Wharf. An important part of our history is being preserved for future generations to come!
