Victoria Celebrates Spirit of BC Week 2008

Victoria, one of more than 100 communities to celebrate Spirit of BC Week 2008, held a Free Family Sport and Activity Swim which drew 100 participants. There were activity stations and the Victoria Youth and Paddle Club brought in boats for participants to try. Lifeguard staff led fun fitness games on the deck.
