Downtown Victoria: Your Place to Be Storytelling Project features unscripted stories of people, like Cara, who live, work, and play in downtown Victoria.


How do you stay fit while juggling family and career and make your commute fun? A busy mom shares her advice on fitting workouts into her day in downtown Victoria.

Meet Cara, co-captain of Canada’s 45+ team for the 2019 Indoor Field Hockey World Cup (they finished fourth in their category). A senior project manager for the provincial government, she cycles to work, runs at lunchtime or is often out hiking, playing tennis or field hockey. She tells us why downtown Victoria is her place to play.
