A Day in the Life of Oak Bay, photographed June 13, 2013

We are pleased once again to present our annual, award-winning, photographic tribute to life in Oak Bay.

Our team of photographers covered every corner of the municipality on a summer-like June day, capturing people at work, play and engaged in various activities in between.

Capturing a day in the life of Oak Bay, where the living is pleasant and opportu-nities to enjoy our natural surroundings

abound is truly one of the best days of the year for our staff.

We’d also like to thank those of you who are pictured in this edition for allow-ing us to offer you as an example of life in Oak Bay. We appreciate it.

Enjoy the read and all of your days in Oak Bay.
