Here's Some Of Our Favourite Things, People, and Places
Vancouver Island and Victoria, BC, are bursting with epic adventures and we’re here to share our favorite partners, experiences, and attractions with you. Dive into the best things to do in the area with our awesome friends.
Partners
Malahat Nation
Malahat SkyWalk is proud to operate on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Malahat Nation; a Coast Salish Indigenous community and one of the five W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich) Nations.
Our collaboration is rooted in respect, relationship, and a shared commitment to celebrating the land’s significance.
Together, we work to create experiences that foster understanding, elevate Indigenous culture and art, and invite guests to connect more deeply with the place beneath their feet.
Power To Be
We’re proud to partner with Power To Be, a local organization that helps remove barriers so more people can experience the outdoors.
Together, we’re working to make Malahat SkyWalk a place where nature feels welcoming and possible for more guests; supporting inclusive access, meaningful connection, and the kind of “I can do this” moments that stay with you long after the visit.
Access 2 Card
We’re proud to be an Access 2 Card participating venue, helping make visits easier for guests who require a support person.
When you present a valid Access 2 Card, the cardholder pays regular admission and their support person receives free or discounted admission (as part of the Access 2 program), helping remove financial barriers to getting out and experiencing the Island.
Pacific FC
Pacific FC is Vancouver Island’s own pro soccer team, competing in the Canadian Premier League and bringing serious island pride to the pitch.
From thrilling goals to a community-first spirit, they play with heart, grit, and a whole lot of purple.
