A 9.3km bike and walking trail around the airport. Bring the whole family to explore this unique recreational facility!

Located around the perimeter of the pastoral Victoria International Airport, come for a bike, hike or stroll and enjoy the natural beauty of the Saanich Peninsula. The Flight Path is punctuated with intriguing pit stops, complete with interesting feature signs. It’s an educating experience about the various historical significance of the airport and its surrounding land!

The surrounding area is quite interesting and in spots you can see ocean, pastures, a historical church and of course … the occasional airplane!

In addition, stop to have a look at the historical feature along the path, “The Lost Airmen of the Empire Memorial” – a historical marker that commemorates and acknowledges the contributions and sacrifices of the 179 people who perished while posted to or were working at the Royal Canadian Air Force Station Patricia Bay during World War II.
