Our Community

Where the rainforest meets the sea, connection defines us.

Sooke is a place where people feel connected — to nature, to each other, and to the land and waters that shape our way of life. Our community is surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Sooke Hills, Sooke Basin, and Sooke River — places that remind us daily of the importance of caring for the environment and respecting the natural world that sustains us.

As the gateway to the Juan de Fuca region, Sooke offers access to the rugged coastline and rainforest trails that define Vancouver Island’s west coast experience. Here, residents and visitors alike find inspiration in the landscape and strength in community connection.
