Do you know what to do in the event of a tsunami in Colwood?
Join the City of Colwood and Royal Roads University (RRU) for a Hike to High Ground, an interactive event designed to help residents practice tsunami preparedness.

Lace up your shoes and walk the tsunami evacuation route while learning what to do in the event of a real emergency. Colwood Fire Rescue personnel will be on site to answer questions, showcase emergency equipment, and share information about tsunami evacuation maps for the area.

Saturday, April 18 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. | Royal Roads University lower parking lot (2005 Sooke Rd.)

Meet in the Royal Roads lower parking area and join a group or take a self-guided walk up to the central parking area, following the evacuation path out of the tsunami zone.

Along the route, stop by information booths to connect with community partners and service members and learn more about tsunami preparedness:

City of Colwood
Colwood Fire Department
West Shore Emergency Support Service
Royal Roads Student Services
Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness

All are welcome, including on-leash pets. Parking is free for attendees during the event. Arrive and complete the walk at anytime from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
