Oaklands, Greater Victoria
Neighbourhood within Victoria, Canada
Summary
The Oaklands is one of 12 neighbourhoods that make up the city of Victoria, British Columbia. From the late 1850s, large tracts of land around Fort Victoria were surveyed for farms, orchards and housing. The Oaklands over time has remained mostly a neighbourhood of single family houses. Along with many parks, sporting venues, a Woonerf, schools and easy access to shopping, universities and colleges, the Oaklands is a desirable neighbourhood for future, thoughtful residential density and commercial developments. The population of the Oaklands includes individuals from a wide array of racial, cultural, linguistic, and national backgrounds, as well as varying sexual orientations and gender identities. The Oaklands is an inclusive neighbourhood.
