Plan some local fun for your weekend🌞 We part Plan some local fun for your weekend🌞 

We partnered with @lululemon in collaboration with their 2020 Virtual Seawheeze to highlight our favourite places to fuel, recover, and enjoy within Victoria.

When highlighting businesses, we also wanted to acknowledge the unceded territory on which we are very fortunate to reside. We were excited to include the seven site carvings that hold cultural significance to the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

You can find each site and their significance mapped out in our guide. If you visit them all in one day, they create a perfect 10km walking or running route around the city 🏃‍♀️ 

To fuel up or recover from your exploring, check out some of the amazing local businesses we’ve highlighted ✨

Pick up your own copy of the guide at either the Johnson Street or @mayfairshopping @lululemon locations in Victoria.

Happy exploring!
