Top ten things to do in Victoria - Concierge guide >> (pdf document) Social program The conference format is designed to encourage connecting and reconnecting with colleagues from the mixing community. The morning sessions run from after breakfast until lunch time, and the evening sessions follow dinner and run until 10 pm. Most afternoons are free to explore on your own or participate in a variety of social activities - check out the conference venue page >> Some group activities will be organized (there will be an additional cost for these) with options and signups times announced during the conference. Possibilities include biking, hiking and whale watching trips. Kayaking anyone? More details will be posted as we near the conference date. Pre and Post Conference Activities There is much to see and do in Victoria and on Vancouver Island, Vancouver and the surrounding area are also worth visits and the time frame (late June early July) is excellent. I would encourage you to plan to stick around and enjoy the surrounding area if you are able to. I personally travel three or four times to Vancouver Island every year for recreational purposes, often with my family. My favorite spots: - Victoria for that small city feeling that is more British than Britain; - Tofino and Long Beach on the west coast for walks on wide open (and long) beaches and crashing waves and body surfing, camping and kayaking; - Sooke and Botanical Beach at Port Renfrew for the pebble stone beaches, fantastic hikes (Port Renfrew is the southern terminus of the West Coat trail) and excellent sea shore tide pool exploring; - and any of the Gulf Islands for a rural and remote get away from it all. As they say, the opportunities are endless, and there is something for everyone. Enjoy!
