Discover Victoria
In our June issue we invited you to enter our Discover Opus contest to celebrate the launch of our new webstore. The grand prize winner of that contest was Elaine Foster from Vancouver and she will be enjoying a weekend for two at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria as well as two passes to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Congratulations Elaine!
In honour of this event, we would like to share some places of interest from our Opus Victoria staff. British Columbia's capital city is not only a wonderful travel destination for sightseeing, it is also home to a community of avid artists. There are many galleries all within walking distance in the downtown core, and plenty of unique venues to view and participate in art events.
