West Shore Parks & Recreation Society
In 2021, the Town of View Royal allocated a share of its funds it received for hosting Elements Casino Victoria to the West Shore Parks & Recreation Society. The not-for-profit received $918,156 to support various programs, services and facilities, including the Juan De Fuca Recreation Centre, the Centennial Centre for Arts, Culture & Community, various parks and trails, and a public golf course.
This funding supported recreation opportunities to people in the community of all ages and abilities.
Folktoria
BCLC is a proud sponsor of Folktoria, an annual multicultural celebration at Centennial Square in Victoria. It is a celebration that brings cultural organizations and dance groups together to perform free for a family audience. Formerly the Victoria Folk Festival, Folktoria is celebrating its fifth year. The two festivals combined have brought 30 years of arts and culture to the community.
