Centennial Memorial Walkway Project
The Esquimalt Centennial Committee encourages everyone to participate in the Centennial Memorial Walkway Project at Memorial Park.

The Centennial Book Project
The Centennial Book being written by Sherri Robinson, well-known historian and writer, will be a tangible legacy of our history, our pioneers, their stories and those wonderful archival photos that really make us think about how Esquimalt has changed from a wooded hamlet to the thriving community it is now. This book will be in our schools, our library, and in your home on the table to show your children, your relatives and friends how our fine community came together. The archival photos will be interesting to examine, for the cars, the fashions, for the faces of our pioneers, for the memory of what was Esquimalt.
Stay tuned for more information on the Esquimalt Centennial Book Project.
