Community Information:

James Bay is home to the Legislative Precinct, an area that encompasses the BC Legislature Building and Provincial Government offices. The community is also home to the Ogden Point cruise ship terminal, a large Canada Coast Guard facility, Department of National Defence Malahat building, and Transport Canada Harbour Master office for Victoria Harbour.

James Bay is the most populous neighbourhood in Victoria with 15% of the city’s population. We have the largest group of 65+ residents in Victoria. Approximately 70% of residents rent their homes.

The Five Corners area has been the centre of James Bay. With the development of Capital Park the Menzies corridor, from Belleville through to the Five Corners, has become the heart of James Bay. This corridor links key public facilities, namely the inner harbour, the Legislative precinct, James Bay New Horizons as well as Five Corners. A few blocks to the west of Five Corners on Oswego Street is the James Bay Community School & Centre.

Residents within James Bay favour walking and cycling within James Bay. However, the community also serves as a major transit corridor for the greater Victoria area for ferries, cruise ships, helicopters, the Canadian Coast Guard, fishing boats, pleasure crafts and tourist vehicles such as horse-drawn carriages and pedicabs.

James Bay serves as an “image” of Victoria which promotes tourism. The old streets of James Bay and the remaining vintage housing stock serve as character components which emphasize the Victorian charm of the city. Fisherman’s Wharf and the Dallas Road walkway add to the ambiance of our delightful city.
