The Victoria Foundation has produced an annual community check-up measuring well-being in the region, identifying concerns and supporting action on issues critical to quality of life. The best thing about Victoria is our natural environment, at least that’s what residents said in the Vital Signs report for 2025.
Based on the results from the online citizen survey and local community data, the foundation develops a report that aims to connect philanthropy to community needs and opportunities. Since its 2006 inception, more than 43,000 people have participated.
In 2025, 5,280 residents participated, giving the region a B grade, and citing cost of living as the most important issue.
As the needs of the Greater Victoria community continue to evolve, the foundation is embarking on a process to reimagine what Vital Signs can be – today and into the future. So the Foundation is inviting community members to help shape that future with a special engagement event on May 12th.
Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Time: 8:45am to 12:30pm
Venue: Ambrosia Banquet & Events at 638 Fisgard Street

The half-day, in-person event will provide an opportunity for participants to share ideas, insights and perspectives on how Vital Signs can better reflect community priorities, spark meaningful dialogue and drive positive change.
