Hello - John Johnson here

Yes that's my real name and no, I'm not from Wisconsin.

In a past life I was a senior consultant for Canadian Federal Government, working  in business planning with a focus on strategy, governance and organizational improvement. 

I’m the proud father of two inspiring daughters and fortunate to be living in Victoria surrounded by a wonderful family, friends and great dogs along the way!

This site grew naturally out of my passion for architecture, urbanism, photography and trying to keep on top of it all.  So why not meld it together and share it with you! Add a news feature, integrate mapping, videos, weave in the written (typed to be accurate) word with a dash of personality and voila - MappingVictoria! 

This site is NOT sponsored by anyone or anything.  You'll see no ads, I'm not selling subscriptions, asking for or receiving any $.  I do NOT use AI to produce any material on this site; each page is meticulously researched and written with links to the original data and source.  MappingVictoria is intended for entertainment, educational and personal use only.  In other words don't make any important life decisions based on what you read here - just unimportant decisions.

Feedback and comments?

If you have suggestions on how I can improve Mapping Victoria let me know!  Contact me at mappingvictoria@gmail.com with any corrections, insider tips, favourite recipes or your opinions on architecture and urbanism in Victoria. Thanks for stopping by my fine feathered friends and enjoy the journey.
