Discover James Bay, Canada’s oldest residential neighbourhood on the West Coast. Learn about the historic homes of some of Victoria’s most influential residents, dating back to the days of colonial administration. Explore houses built in architectural styles from Queen Anne Cottages to Arts & Crafts, many of which have been designated as Provincial Heritage Sites.
