Welcome to Garden City Wanderers, a walking club that puts the emphasis on friendship. We were first established in 1990 and are one of 10 clubs and associations in BC, which are members of the Volkssport Association of BC  (VABC). We hope to meet you at one of our walks.

GCW Objectives

The objectives of our club are:

• to contribute to the health and well-being of members primarily from the greater Victoria area through their participation in programs of non-competitive, amateur, friendly, family-oriented volkssport walking events. Other official volkssport activities are bicycling, swimming and cross-country skiing.
• to attract new club members through organization, promotion and safe operation of volkssport activities in the greater Victoria area and beyond.
• to collaborate with other volkssport clubs throughout British Columbia and beyond.
• to communicate with club members and volkssporters in general by various media.
