The item is a travelogue film. 'Sunshine and flowers - thus it is that one thinks of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.

Such places of interest as Beacon Hill Park, the Mayor's Garden, the Dominion observatory (which houses the second largest telescope in the world) and the Butchart Gardens, are famed across the continent.' Scenes include a map of Victoria and Vancouver with a line shoring the ferry route, and an aerial view of Victoria, Inner Harbour and CPR ferry entering. Parliament Buildings. Empress Gardens and Hotel. Pan of cars driving along Causeway toward Belmont Building. Two shots of busy street corner (Yates & Douglas?). Beautiful homes and gardens along Rockland Avenue (?). Mayor Pendray's topiary gardens with visitors. Exterior shots of Dominion Observatory. At Butchart Gardens: Italian Garden, child with clay rabbit and Sunken Gardens. Very picturesque shot of the Parliament dome through the veranda portal of the Empress Hotel. (Colin Browne).
