Concierge Map
The West Shore is a region that currently does not have a strong, cartographic identity to endorse itself.
Strategic Partners, Hotel & Hospitality Networks and Community Stakeholders across the Capital Region will promote the West Shore by circulating the GoWestShore Concierge Map to Victoria-bound tourists as well as residents throughout the Capital Region. The map is highly engaging with iconic highlights of architectural buildings, parks & funky attraction markers. Collectively these elements along with business ads around the outer parameter are poised to help tell “Our Story” and encourage users to extend their stay to explore the West Shore’s world-class lifestyle and public, cultural, sport & commercial amenities. Conceivably, visitors will enjoy their experiences so much they will want to return to play, invest and live in our family-friendly, business-oriented West Shore community.
Given that Canada will be celebrating its historic sesquicentennial anniversary in 2017, an attractive visual map of the West Shore will foster a proud, united identity for the Community & create a legacy for future generations.

Interactive Portal
More than a Directory. Why we need a collaboration Portal
What better way to showcase the West Shore’s public, cultural & commercial amenities to visitors and those interested in utilizing the goods, services and infrastructure our communities have invested in than an Interactive Portal.
While the West Shore is one of the fastest growing regions on Vancouver Island and BC, one thing that makes this challenging is that the players, amenities and offerings change, improve and grow just as quickly.
Right now is the second time in the past decade that the West Shore has seen an influx of new businesses, developments, neighbourhoods and more recently schools, community centers and world class sports facilities. This time however, there is a confidence in the air about the economic sustainability, which is in itself, a magnet for even more businesses and organizations to want to invest and not miss out on the “opportunity”.
At the end of the day, in order for our communities to fully benefit, we all need to be pulling in the same direction. Organizations and stakeholders need to collaborate. Municipalities and businesses need to be leaders first. Residents and visitors need to be informed and support local.
