Please be aware that there are a variety of groups from various backgrounds, traditions and denominations celebrating the Feast.  The Church of God International does not necessarily support the beliefs held by other Festival promoters linked on Feastgoer.org.

Site Summary

The Church of God International will be keeping the 2005 Feast of Tabernacles in Victoria, BC at the Victoria Days Inn Waterway Conference Centre. This should prove to be a memorable Feast, as the location has been specifically chosen for all ages and budgets. 

Visitors to this Western Canada Feast site will quickly realize they are participating in what will be a very fast-growing & popular Feast site.  At time of writing, John Coish will be your Feast Coordinator for 2005 and will be working with an experienced committee of people to ensure all your needs are met.  A variety of speakers will be available to provide you with greater insight on God's Holy Days, God's Plan of Salvation and putting sound biblical principles to greater use in your life.  This year three of our church services and two other presentations will be Youth / Young Adult Impact sessions – the focus will be on making a positive influence in the lives of our teens and young adults.  The rest of the church should also be encouraged by these sessions and grow in appreciation and support of tomorrow's leaders.  There will also be Sabbath School classes daily for the children in the hospitality room which will also be used for informal meetings and church luncheons. 

Location of Services

The Days Inn is located near the scenic Gorge Waterway, which runs into the Inner Harbour.  Located at 123 Gorge Road, Victoria, the Days Inn is easily accessible from Highway 1 and Douglas Street, and is also just a short drive from the Victoria International Airport.

Area Attractions

In addition to whale watching tours, quaint shops and renowned  restaurants, Victoria is home to some of the most famous attractions on Canada's beautiful West Coast.  Take the kids and spend an afternoon at the Royal B.C. Museum, where you can catch a film at the National Geographic IMAX Theatre.  You can explore Victoria's only castle, Craigdarroch Castle, or marvel at all things small at Miniature World.  Experience nature at its finest, whether it's breathtaking landscaping at Butchart Gardens or the awe-inspiring Pacific Undersea Gardens.  The Royal London Wax Museum and the Victoria Art Gallery are a must-see for history buffs.  Finish your day at Blethering Place Tea Room, an English tea room famous for its pastries and crumpets (served with fresh cream, of course).
