The History of the Christian Fish Symbol

- Sooke is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. About 38 km's from Victoria.
When the Hudson’s Bay Company’s fur trading fort was established at Camosun (now Victoria) in 1843, European immigration and land acquisition followed. The first independent immigrant to purchase land in the new colony of Vancouver’s Island, at Sooke harbor in 1849, was Captain Walter Colqohoun Grant of the Royal Scots Greys.
During the early 1900′s the vast rainforests in the area’s watersheds attracted the interest of far-off businessmen, and the logging of the mighty Douglas-fir, red cedar, Sitka spruce and hemlock began in earnest. Neighbouring communities: Metchosin, East Sooke and Otter Point.
