Many of the pioneers of Victoria you met in the People section have had streets named after them to commemorate their importance to Victoria's beginnings.
Fort Street Douglas Street

Bricks



Hudson's Bay Company Bricks bearing the names of people who were a part of Victoria's beginning were placed along Government Street to Bastion Square. The path which they follow is where the fort stockades used to be.
