Finally it's spring! Technically it's not, but it is March and I'm itching to see some green. At this time of year, I long to get back to Vancouver Island. Victoria is one of my favourite Canadian cities and it's such a tonic for the senses. Here's a look at my favourite activities to do there at this time of year.

Wherever your plans take you, I hope you have a lovely winter long weekend!
