Crazy how much of this has been removed in the last ten years. It's a shame.
Yes so very much it has changed
Amazing documentary video !!!
Can't wait to visit my daughter in Victoria just as soon as the covid pandemic allows. So, so beautiful and fantastic history. Wonderful video, I must say !!! Thank you. 💓
Victoria, Canada's and North America's most beautiful city along with Montreal. This is a wonderful historical documentary !!! Enjoyed it so much. Thank you ! 😊
The street people and homeless encampments are so quaint. Victoria is a hell hole compared to the 1970’s.
now it’s full of tweakers
Used to ride my tricycle from my gramma's house on Kingston St. past the parlament buildings down to inner harbor in the mid 60's and watch the Coho and the Princess Margarite come and go, try that now and your single parent would be arrested. I think it was the steamship that blew its horn at 5 pm every week day before it left or arrived from Seattle. Yates and Douglas was the center of the universe to me when I was a kid.
Amazing the things that trigger a memory , yes the good ole days :)
What? Isn't that 3 jets flying overhead at 12:17? In 1907? Wait a minute! Upon closer inspection, they seem to be just models hanging from wires. A day later, and I'm not sure they're even jet models... OK, forget all that. I think the music's a bit too loud :o)
Great video. Thank you.
Land of Goshen
Can u imagine all the people died in that video from newborn to old ,but the building and roads still there
Very much so , even talked with a lady who's father worked for Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie she too was very old but her stories so full of vigor and life !
HERMOSO VIDEO FELICIDADES
it was soooo pretty back then but then they tore down some of the old archeture and replaced it withugky 70s buildings :(. i wished they still built buildings like that now
Wow great doc . COVERS A LOT OF vICTORIA B.C CANADA
I thought I read somewhere that the site of the Laurel Point Inn was once a paint factory? This video says it was a soap works. Anybody?
Soap
Actually there was a paint factory down near the old Johnson Street bridge ( the blue one ) . I'm 65 years old and I remember a old fellow telling me when I was young about working at that paint factory . The environmental laws of the day were a thing of the future. He told me that if they had made a bad batch of paint they would dumped it through a hole in the floor into the gorge and the tide would take it out to sea . Working life back then !
There was a BAPCO paint factory at Laurel Point when I was growing up in the 1960s and 70s. The soap works must have been from an earlier era.
oh TH-cam recommendation algorithm you work in mysterious ways, awesome video :)
Really wish the wax museum was still here!!
I don't, I never went there. Wax figurines have never interested me. Miniature World on the other hand i've been to a couple of times
WOW.... so very cool!! My dad was born in Victoria in 1912 and served on the police force when there were only 5 officers on the whole force. I used to love the stories he would tell. he actually used to practice swimming for the olympics on the gorge where this shows. Thank you for doing such a great upload!!
Great video well done watched some of this footage on other vids this one with the now shots lets you place yourself. Interesting to note the Johnston St. bridge was just replaced for the third time still a draw bridge.
and still idiotically, three lanes
Neat
I really like this video❤️
The Empress was a CPR hotel and hosted many more illustrious people than mentioned. It was built in anticipation of the terminus of the trans Canada CPR rail line being built in Victoria as a condition of BC joining into Confederation. From Victoria CPR "Empress" ships sailed the Pacific to link Canada with the far-flung British Asian colonies. Sadly, this is all lost to progress.
Why did CP and CN get out of the people business? think of all that beautiful real-estate they used to own. I am so glad the Empress was purchased by The Bosa family and they immediately fixed it up. Canadian culture must start saving these buildings. tear them down put up crap. When do we start caring? in Europe they place so much more value on history. we have no history because we keep tearing it down. the seventies and our god awful architecture..
And as well as the Empress ships, there were the Princess ships running to and from Vancouver. Taking the night sailing was particularly fun. We would arrive and put the car on the boat, have dinner in the dining room (genuine linen and silver), then retire to our stateroom for the night and wake up in Vancouver the next day, ready to disembark the car and venture forth. I was a child at the time and don't know the cost, but it must have been substantial, and when BC Ferries was created by the staunchly free-enterprise Social Credit government, it knocked CPR out of business.
@@Jerichocafe1 the seventies? Newsflash, this is 2021
@@davemacmurchie6982 It took all night to get to Vancouver? I could paddle a rowboat faster than that
Yes I'm sure countless celebrities have stayed there
Great evidence of a past civilization
Not past, but alive and evolving.
That city look like my hometown in Connecticut. They have buildings jest like those in the vid. Looking down the side streets I was home again. An WOW that big brick building(monolith)…Thanks
Vuzzden Riddick I’m from Victoria

I have a miles worth of fraser river between lilooet and lyton that I'm exploring ..could always have some people to help check it out I live on saltspring island b.c. you on van island or mainland? i'll send you an email to say hi....mickey miner
+paystreak Hi, well we are always interested in exploring and yes I would be very interested in getting in that area and looking around , we offer gold panning lessons to those who wish to learn but I have another group together called 7 Mules Mining Cooperative which is about 14 of us now I think two geologists and a number of experienced old timers such as myself. So your on Saltspring Island I have never yet been over there but I am close I live in Victoria and some of my other boys are on the mainland. I hope you do send a line by e-mail
The only thing is, the wax museum has since closed its doors :(
And there is a new Johnson st. bridge
Be honest. Who really like wax museums? Not many. You go once. ...Then that’s it. It’s a creepy gimmick. No tears were shed for that tacky place.
Fantastic video! Love it
parliment building.
+Leslie Starck We need to be a separate colony once again as we are losing this incredible city to the globalist United Nations Agenda 21 and 2030 and dreamer millennial hippies
Parliament. Victoria has the Legislative Buildings. Ottawa has the Parliament Buildings, as does London, England.
British Columbia Canada
Not sure about down there but here in British Columbia it is pretty easy to find somewhere to pan for gold .
hi where can I buy a gold panning because I live in Brazil ...
Tranquil, relaxing and a chance of being stress free what more can you ask for ?
Very nice pics.......well done.
Those are the most fascinating images of the most incredible photographer ( Westveture) Thank you for sharing the beauty of world by your amazing vision.
