Patricia Bay ("Pat Bay" to locals) is a body of salt water that extends east from Saanich Inlet and forms part of the shoreline of North Saanich, British Columbia. It lies due west of Victoria International Airport. A municipal park covers most of its eastern shore except at the southern end, which is home to a Canadian Coast Guard base, a seaplane port known as Victoria Airport Water Aerodrome, and two Canadian Government research facilities – the Institute of Ocean Sciences and [https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/earth-sciences/science/geology/gsc/17100 GSC] Pacific Sidney (formerly the Pacific Geoscience Centre).^[1]

History

Patricia Bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General, who laid the cornerstone of the Connaught Wing (houses the Legislative Library) of the Parliament Buildings on 28 September 1912.^[2]

In the 1900s, there was a train track that connected Sidney and Victoria. The Canadian National Railway controlled the track but later abandoned it in 1931. The track was moved south.
