The District of Oak Bay
Oak Bay is a distinct municipality located to the east of Victoria.
Incorporated in 1906, it now has a population of over 18,000.
From its miles of scenic coastline with breathtaking foreshore
vistas to its luxury apartments and stately mansions, Oak Bay is
one of the most desirable residential areas in Greater Victoria.
Architecture ranges from the late 19th century style of such pre-eminent
architects as Francis Rattenbury and Samuel McLure to the contemporary
West Coast style of today's fine architects.
Property owners take pride in maintaining their impeccably manicured
laws and fine landscaping. Canopies of trees enhance the attractiveness
of the area and are passionately protected.
Oak Bay is home to two world class golf courses, the Uplands Golf
Club and Victoria Golf Club, as well as the Oak Bay Marina and
the prestigious Royal Victoria Yacht Club. There are three recreation
centres in the municipality and its main shopping areas, Oak Bay
Avenue and Estevan, maintain a village-like atmosphere.
Oak Bay shares the University of Victoria and Camosun College
with the neighbouring municipality of Saanich.
