We are pleased once again to present our annual photographic tribute to life in Oak Bay.
Our team of shooters covered pretty much every corner of the municipality this time around, capturing people at work, play and engaged in various activities in between.
We like to think of it as a good kickoff to summer in Oak Bay, where the living is
pleasant and opportunities to enjoy our natural surroundings present themselves every day.
We’d also like to thank those of you who are pictured in this edition for allowing us to offer you as an example of life in Oak Bay. We appreciate it.
Enjoy the read and your summer.– Don Descoteau
