The Ogden Point Enhancement Society
As part of the enhancement and public use of the South Shore of Ogden Point, and a link to the Harbour Pathway project, the Ogden Point Enhancement Society (OPES) has completed the installation of an ecological information kiosk. This project compliments the present historical land-use information kiosk located at Confederation Point and the underwater plaques located along the outer base of the breakwater. This interpretive display, in keeping with the stated objectives and mandate of the Ogden Point Enhancement Society, serves to enhance recreational uses of the breakwater precinct as well as the cruise ship receiving area for the benefit of both visitors and locals.
The kiosk at Confederation Point focuses on the cultural history of Victoria as related to the Harbour and Ogden Point, and describes the physical location and surroundings visible from the kiosk and breakwater. This kiosk emphasizes the role of the port of Victoria in shaping local history and situates Victoria within the rest of Canada and the world.
We thank all our sponsors for helping us achieve this project.
