James Bay is the oldest residential neighbourhood on the west coast of Canada and the hub of Victoria’s tourist industry. The south end of the Inner Harbour, the Royal BC Museum, the Legislative Assembly and Emily Carr House all find their home here, and tourists arrive by the thousands in the summer months to enjoy them.
The heart of the neighbourhood is James Bay Village, filled with local shops and services and the James Bay Community Centre. The village is a hub for many community sporting events that use Dallas Road as a major portion of their routes.
