Vacay.ca Recommends Victoria for Fitness
Vacay.ca Senior Writer Kathleen Kenna had a chance to visit British Columbia and wrote about her experience in her article “Why Victoria is Canada’s ‘fittest city’.”
Kenna: “Water is Victoria’s most vaunted playground: The city, which is celebrating its 150th birthday today (August 3), curls around a waterfront busy with water taxis, tour boats, float planes, yachts, sailboats and big car ferries serving both Canada and US passengers.
Talk to locals and they’ll ask what you do to stay fit, rather than bother about your career choice. Like Crane, they’re keen to share their favourite green spaces, best trails, most popular view-while-in-motion, and best deals on gear. (I had serious kayak lust at Ocean River Adventures; the photographer exhibited severe gearhead symptoms, discovering new paddleboard accessories.)”
