Government House
The Rockland District is home to many historic homes and castles including Government House which is the Queen’s residence when she visits Victoria, capital of BC.
It is the official residence of British Columbia’s Lieutenant- Governor and where he or she receives foreign diplomats.
In recent years, the beautiful gardens including long-forgotten terraces, and a splendid rose garden and pavilion have been brought back to their original grandeur.
An impressive wrought iron gazebo was built there for the Queen’s 1994 visit for the Commonwealth Games.
