The Society’s mission is to protect and advance the social, economic, environmental and cultural vitality of the working harbours in the Victoria Esquimalt area through advocacy, stewardship and community engagement.

The Victoria Esquimalt Harbour Society brings together a united group of Harbour stakeholders committed to providing vision, knowledge and guidance for vibrant activities and commerce requiring the connection between land and sea.
