Appreciate all the comments everyone
Thanks Coldrsx for the Edmonton photo. Stantec has such perfect proportions combined with the flat glass facade makes it such an attractive building on a skyline. Brookfield in Calgary, although different has a similar appeal.
FrAnks - not surprised you liked St. Ann’s
Maybe a familiar building style for those in Quebec? The original section was built in 1858 for the Sisters of Saint Anne who came from Lachine, Quebec during the gold rush and it was designed by Father Joseph Michaud, was designed many buildings in Montreal and Burlington Vermont. More about him
here.
The front of the building and the gardens and orchard is more impressive, but harder to capture because of the trees in the way. It looks across to St. Joseph’s hospital (built in 1876) which is now an apartment building which you can see in this picture:

Laceoflight - good summary of Victoria! I don’t own a car, in fact rarely take a bus. I can walk everywhere I need to and there is so much to see and do within a 2 km circle of downtown including quiet nature trails (well you can still hear the sirens of the city) and beaches that I could never get bored. Nearly all of the photos I post are within a 30 minute walk of my place, most within 15 minutes. Hop on a bike and half an hour gets me a whole other world of great options.

I enjoyed seeing the longer photo threads but maybe that’s not a thing anymore. The daily photos are now in the weather thread, which makes sense, but nice to see longer sets of other cities in Canada. Without Calgary Chad and a few others it’s quiet in here so post your photos folks! The Saskatoon sets were great, haven’t seen much of Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax or Kelowna on here. Actually I’d really like to see more of the BC interior cities, their downtown streets (in addition to construction cranes), interesting houses, districts, attractions, etc.
