• Prepared Nov 2004 by Ken Milbrath, BSc geography, MBA
![Page 2: The Pemberton Trail A community building initiative and recreational opportunity for an urban trail through historic Rockland, linking south oak bay with](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e895503460f94b8e085/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Pemberton Trail Vision
• Imagine being able to walk from Anderson Hill in South Oak Bay to Downtown Victoria without vehicular traffic.
• Imagine being able to climb to the highest elevation south of Mt Tolmie, in Rockland, past Pemberton’s mansions, past Dunsmuir’s Craigdarroch Castle, onto the Art Gallery or a side trip to Government House, and then straight into downtown via the YW/YMCA using quiet Meares St.
• Imagine seniors being able to walk to their care facility and network at their community center.
• Imagine a reduction of crime as law-biding citizens including our youth, become more visible in the community.
This is the Pemberton Trail
