Welcome to Victoria - BC's Capital!
“Connecting and celebrating the Capital with all British Columbians” is at the core of the Provincial Capital Commission’s mandate, which it accomplishes through delivery of a wide variety of Outreach programs, events and province-wide initiatives.
A self-sustaining Crown agency, the PCC reports to government through the Minister of Tourism, Culture & the Arts and derives its operating revenues through careful stewardship of numerous properties and important heritage buildings.
Welcome to Victoria – BC’s Beautiful Capital city. We invite you to Learn, Visit, Connect & Celebrate!
From Atlin to Zeballos, Yahk to Dawson Creek, more than 13,000 young British Columbians have experienced educational field trips to their Capital thanks to the PCC’s Student Travel Subsidy Program.
For travel from February 2011 to June 2011, the application deadline is November 18 2010.
The seat of government, a repository of our province’s past, a place to celebrate the present and envision the future…..and so much more!
