A promotional travel video has surfaced from 1992 that was made to convince people to travel to Victoria.
The retro video was posted in Victoria’s sub-Reddit and depicts many of the city’s most beloved attractions from the past, some of which are no longer around.
The infamous wax museum being one of the spots that no longer exists, along with the Maritime Museum of BC’s old Bastion Square courthouse location.
Other places, such as the Royal BC Museum, Miniature World and the Empress Hotel remain largely unchanged since the time this video was shot.
As the video was made for promotional reasons, it really attempts to highlight the city’s best attributes, including the mild weather and scenic landscapes.
After speaking about Victoria’s many attractions, the focus begins to traverse outside the city to the Olympic View Golf Course and even Chemainus’ famous murals.
Check out the video below:
Do you see anything in the video that doesn’t exist anymore you wish would come back?
