Program
The Victoria Tea Festival will provide you with an opportunity to sample a wide selection of teas originating from different regions of the world and prepared in unique ways by the different tea companies who will be present at the festival. Some booths will also have products for sale.
In most traditions, tea is accompanied by food. Like wine, some teas are more enjoyable with the right food pairing. Tea houses, bakeries and restaurants will be at the festival providing samples of their food selections. Be sure to ask the tea representatives their recommended pairings and anticipate trying something new!

Cause
Camosun College Child Care Services operates five licensed centers on both campuses. Providing high quality child care on campus allows parents the opportunity to pursue their educational and career goals while raising children. This opportunity frequently assists parents and families in creating a better future for themselves and their children. This annual event, organized by a volunteer committee, plays a key role in keeping the child care centers open and providing additional resources for the centers.
