In those long ago days before the internet, every town had a town crier who broadcast important news to the people. Oak Bay still has one and he can be seen marching in the Tea Party Parade every year, as above, with his lady.

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.
