Explore the Township of Esquimalt’s heritage in a number of ways during Heritage Week: Heritage Afloat!
- Esquimalt’s Heritage Advisory Committees has launched its “Best of 100” campaign, which highlights the maintained heritage homes and other buildings in the Township that are 100 years or older. View the poster featuring the Northeast Township here
- See Township heritage properties on our community register.
- Visit Propeller Park, formally known as the Shipbuilding and Repair Memorial Commemorative Park. Created in 1999, it features a large World War 2 vintage ship propeller that was unearthed from Yarrows Shipyards during the construction of the new Municipal Public Works Yard. The propeller was erected to commemorate 100 years of shipbuilding and repair in Esquimalt from 1893 to 1994. The park sits on the corner of Canteen and Esquimalt Roads.
