Took a friend to the #JapaneseGardens in Esquimalt-Gorge Waterway Park. They'd never been there before & really enjoyed it 😊

#VictoriaBC #Saanich #ViewRoyal #Esquimalt #YYJ - Happening today!

Keep the #Halloween spirit going in our neighbourhood with a #community #PumpkinParade!

Bring your carved #JackOLanterns down to #GorgePark between 3-5pm on November 1st, then return from 6-8pm to see them all lit up together as you take a spooky stroll! There is no limit to the number of #pumpkins you can bring down - the more, the merrier!

***If you're unable to bring your pumpkin down to the park and live in the #GorgeTillicum area, please put your pumpkins at the end of your driveway by 1pm and we will attempt to pick them up.***

The event will be held in Gorge Park adjacent to the parking lot opposite Orillia Street. Entertainment will run from 6pm - 7:30pm and there will be free hot chocolate and treats for the community.

This year, your pumpkins will get a third chance to entertain as they'll be delivered to the Tillicum Centre Pumpkin Smash the following day! Saanich Firefighters will be dropping the pumpkins from atop fire ladder before they go to compost station.

Had a nice walk in the park with Mom ☺️ Really pleasant in the shaded areas. It's very warm out today.
