Above is the altar of the Tam Kung Temple. Here devotees may perform a ritual to receive answers to problems that are troubling them. Behind this altar is a niche where the statue of Tam Kung is located. You can see this in the photo below. The University of Victoria has an interesting page on Tam Kung and this temple, the oldest Chinese Temple in Canada.

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.

The second shot particularly appeals to me!
That is a beautiful and colourful space! Is it open to the public?
@JoJo: Yes, it's open to the public.
