I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days in Victoria in my previous 
incarnation as a chemist when I was a visiting professor at UBC. Lovely
place. This was pre-stereo, but I have lots of slides taken with my baby
TLR Rollei. 

Victoria was a very pleasant, clean city. The scenery on the ferry trip
from Vancouver was fabulous.

The score is now 2 votes for Victoria.
