On March 21, 1978 the Ukrainian Canadian Cultural Society of Vancouver Island was incorporated. In the ensuing years many things have happened that have helped to bring the Ukrainian community of Victoria and Vancouver Island closer together. The present Ukrainian Cultural Centre was purchased in early 1979 and with the help of many volunteers was renovated and opened later that year. We strive to promote the development of Ukrainian Canadian culture by way of annual events such as our Ukrainian Easter Traditions open house usually held on Palm Sunday. This event includes the sale of traditional Ukrainian Easter baking, demonstrations and classes in the traditional art of Pysanky or Easter Egg writing as well as displays of embroidery, costumes, art and artifacts. Another annual event is Malanka , which is the celebration of the New Year with a gala banquet and dance with performances by the Veselka Ukrainian Dancers. This event is held on a Saturday in the middle of January. Some of the objectives of the society are to promote and propagate the development of Ukrainian-Canadian Culture; also to facilitate a better understanding of Ukrainian-Canadian among other ethnocultural groups

Visions One Hour Optical is 100% B.C. owned and operated and proud of it! We opened our first location in 1988, in Victoria B.C. Since then we have been proud to expand to our current 10 locations. We believe our success can be attributed to four things; great service, selection, value, and most importantly, our professional Opticians are second to none. Each of our Super Optical Stores offer over 1500 quality frames to choose as well as a wide array of lenses which are fabricated by our lab technicians, in our in store Optical Laboratories. Together this is an unbeatable combination allowing us to provide quality eyewear at better pricing than the American chain stores. Since we craft our eyeglasses in our in store laboratories, we can produce most orders in about an hour with impeccable quality control each step of the way. By not having to send your eyeglasses to a distant lab for processing we are able to save our customers both time and money.Giving back to the community has always been important to the Directors of Visions One Hour Optical. Visions One Hour Optical gives back through many corporate donations to local events and charities. Visions has sponsored Canuck Place, local sports teams, and been part of the popular food bank and Christmas tree programs. Visions is also proud to support third world eye care programs by donating new eyeglasses. The ten locations of Visions One Hour Optical are also donation points for used eyeglasses, which also go to the third world, giving needy people the gift of sight.

Since its inception in 1974, the Victoria Women's Transition House Society has grown from a small collective running a drop-in centre to an organization with five facilities, over 50 staff and close to 70 volunteers. The Victoria Women's Transition House Society was born from the Victoria Women's Centre. This organization grew out of the objectives of the University of Victoria Women's Caucus and the Status of Women Action Group. The Women's Centre was planned and initiated by a group of six women, with funding from a federal grant. From May 1971 until September 1972, a drop-in, referral and resource centre was operated for the Victoria community. The first emergency shelter opened in 1974 and was located in an older home which eventually became much too small and in need of repair to meet the needs of women leaving abusive relationships. In September 1991, after several years of intensive fundraising which included generous donations from service, church and community groups, as well as funding from GO BC Lottery Funds, various Foundations and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a new $500,000 facility was opened.
