Motor Gathering At Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit

A huge gathering of supercars and vintage vehicles at a large venue that seems more of a private club for the wealthy than a spectator racing circuit.  Entrance was by donation with all funds going to local charities including the David Foster Foundation and the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation. There were many interesting vehicles but it wasn't the best organized event we've ever been to. We got there as it opened at 11 am and left about an hour later as the crowd was starting to build.

Antique Truck Show at BC Forest Discovery Centre, Duncan

We take the ferry from Brentwood Bay to Mill Bay to avoid the busy traffic of Victoria. The crossing takes about 25 minutes and cost us about $30.

The BC Forestry Discovery Centre collects and preserves "artifacts relevant to coastal forestry, as well as educating the public about life, work and the environment in forest communities of coastal British Colombia.

With the price of admission ($16 adults, $14 seniors) you get unlimited rides on the steam train as well. http://bcforestdiscoverycentre.com/

Reconstruction of a mess hall in a forestry camp. 

We visited the Forestry Centre on this particular day, for the Antique Truck Show hosted by the Vancouver Island chapter of the American Historical Truck Society. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable gathering of various types of trucks from different eras.
