Join CRD Regional Parks naturalists and Power to Be on a guided roll or stroll exploring plants and animals of East Sooke Regional Park. Power to be will be providing two TrailRiders (a mobility device designed to explore nature) for participants. An inclusive nature exploration for all ages and abilities, there’ll be stops along the way to take in the scenic views and learn what animals in the park are up to in springtime.
There is no fee for this program but you must pre-register as space is limited. You may also reserve a TrailRider, based on a first come, first serve basis. Your TrailRider is not confirmed until you have heard from us.

Art, music, and culture. Our region is a hot bed of activity year round. With the Tall Trees Festival, Bluegrass Festival, Sooke Fine Arts Show, our many Art festivals, Canada Day, Festival of trees and the Pacific Rim Whale Festival we celebrate our Island culture and environment.
The West Coast Trail is a world renowned backpacking trail. Open from May 1st until September 30th, this gruelling 75 km (47 mi) trek is well worth the challenge for the breathtaking examples of the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Discover the raw beauty and uncharted nature of the CRD. From seasoned backpackers to amateur day hikers you can traverse up to the tallest peaks and back down to the rocky shores of the Juan de Fuca by hiking historical trails.
Our Coast has long been inspiration to all kinds of musicians, writers and painters. It is not hard to see why – take a walk through ancient forests with gnarled trees and green canopies, explore hidden creeks and spot eagles taking flight or bears ambling through the undergrowth.
