Labour Day Weekend

I thought I'd close this week's posts with another shot of the Legislative Assembly Building with usual scattering of tourists at this time of year. This coming weekend, a long weekend called Labour Day here in Canada, marks the end of summer since children return to school next week and Canada prepares for autumn and winter. Tourist season isn't really over - it is year round here - but the number of tourists certainly drops after Labour Day and drops again in mid-October when the last of the year's cruise ships docks at Ogden Point. It's hard to believe another summer has come and gone so quickly. I hope yours was as trouble-free and pleasant as ours.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

No cruise ships visit in the fall and winter? I didn't know that. Happy Labour Day weekend! A lot of the kids have already gone back to school here.
Hopefully the kids do go back to school soon, this strike has lasted too long. Great shot!
A lovely shot of the legislature. I'd like to stroll about in there someday.
