This group of sea kayakers enjoyed a beautiful day paddling offshore on February 18, and then attended the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) information session on the Ogden Point Planning Process at Pier B on their return. The paddlers would like to have a small, safe beach for launching and landing in windy weather, so have suggested improving part of the foreshore for that purpose inside the Breakwater.
GVHA’s long range planning project for Ogden Point lands envisions multiple uses including the marine terminal and heliport, and related services, technology, offices and storage. In addition, thought is being given to including a mix of retail, commercial, institutional and hotel facilities and services. Ideas for public amenities, space for exhibitions and First Nations activities are also being considered.
