Reviews of Mile Zero Monument (Tourist Attraction)

Steve Turner

Fantastic tribute to Terry Fox here as well.

Shannon Davis

The sign isn't that great...but there is a crosswalk beside it that takes you to the ocean at Dallas Rd. The views are beautiful and tourists and locals love this area. The sign is more somewhere to park the tourist bus. The real destination is the ocean view. There are steps down to the ocean once you cross the street but they're very steep. Most people enjoy the view from above.

It's okay

If you are visiting Victoria you gotta stop here! It's just fun to be at mile zero in Canada take your pic and cross it off your bucket list

Mark Coldicutt

World class, residents are so lucky. Magical views

Daniel Ivanic

Beautiful place

Eric Gao

a must visit place in Victoria, ha ha ha.

Jake “Jake” Sin

There’s nothing much to look at.

E L

Nice to see a statue of Terry Fox but really not worth the trip just to see a statue. Maybe if you have some time to kill go visit.

Erin Henry

Very good monument

Michael Ames

Kinda boring... but right next to beautiful little coves and beaches to explore... and the wonderful Beacon Hill park.

Tommy Castaneda

It's exactly what you see in the pic, nothing more. The park it's in is awesome though. They have a cool totem and an awesome view of the ocean.

Fabio Said

Gorgeous place to go for a walk in the Spring/Summer days. A perfect starting place, as there are a few small beaches to experience and it blends into Beacon Hill Park.

Sarah-Anne Lake

This is a place where many a visiter loves to stop by and take there pictures at.

Leanne Klimek

This is where I am starting a (hopefully) cross Canada cycling trip.

Booyaka Stubbs (ExplorewithStubbs.com)

Had an awesome time walking around the area with my family. Before moving to the island, we traveled from Ontario and stopped at most of the monuments across Canada honoring Terry Fox and his courage to take on this journey. Just steps from the zero mile monument. Beautiful views of the ocean, especially at sunset walking along the beachfront or the trails above. Beacon hill park has some great views up on the hill with the Canada flag ????????. Got our exercise for sure, along with plenty of fresh air, sunshine ????and friendly faces..

Krysty McIntyre

Lovely statue, good space around it, photo op.

Andrew Leroux

Funny to see that when you actually live at the other end of this road

Megan Williams

Kind of meh. Tour buses always seem to be stopped here.

Connie Chau

A very sacred place, to commemorate hero; Terry Fox; and the passion he has for cancer research, especially when it came to the younger folks.

Mike B

Start of the yellow brick road.

Nabil Bennett

Happy to be respectful here.

saptarshi mallick

Beautiful place with a great view of the United States. The salish sea looks really beautiful on a bright Sunny day. Lots of wind, no crowd makes this place more beautiful. The best part of course is that you can see the Olympic National Park from in the front before the beach. This is my second time there, me and my wife really enjoyed the place. Given a chance I would definitely go back there.

Not quite worth the trip...kind of hard to find as well.

Great place to take a picture.

andrew alan Grant

Not dislike but kind of boring great access to the sea shore at the end of Douglas st

Carter B

Mike Zero is actually quite cool to see! It would be nicer if it was more accessible by foot, but even just driving by is quite cool, and would recommend with your visit to Beacon Hill Park. There's just something special about knowing you were at one end of a road that spans across Canada.

Travis Moore

Looking forward to hosting a Fashion Show here in the near future!????

Kennith Leung

A place that one can get positive inspiration when you are facing obstacle.

Cody Guthrie

It was something that you have to go to at least once while in Victoria.

BALBIR Singh

Great monument

Rui (areyoueye)

Beautiful place with great view.

Ryan Roga

Ohhh. Ahhh. A statue on a cut grass median. What a site to see. Are you serious? Tax payers spend money on this? A great man with purpose and a causes died and this is how the city chose to remember him. We can do better.

Steve Tremblay

It's a sign.

Leslhies

???? awesome location to explore, even at night throughout the trails at some points you need a flashlight it's fun and amazing experience

Mile "0" start of highway 1 Of 4,860 miles to St John New Foundland. Terry Fox planned to finish here. April 12, 1980 – St John's, Newfoundland: Terry dips his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean and begins his odyssey. He ran close to 42 kilometres (26 miles) a day through Canada's Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. However, on September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles), Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs.

Xander Haijen

A simple sign marking the beginning of the trans-Canada highway. They could've done more than just a simple wooden sign, if you ask me.

Christina

Seems like many tourists don't get it when visiting this photo op. Maybe they will make out bronzeTerri in the background of their shot once they get home. Ha ha.

Ronald Anthony

Tourists attraction and the start of The Island. Terry Fox ended his run for Cancer here. A Beautiful spot to reflect on life's journey.

Sushil Sehgal

Love it

Roy Donnesay (Nanabush)

A good experience for travellers

Q

Wish there was better signage to explain what this place is.

K Prettie

Was there more for the rest of the scenery and was more impressed with the Terry Fox statue. Much historical significance in both though. If you have extra time on your trip, I would suggest checking it out, but not high up on the priority list. So many more interesting and beautiful things to see in Victoria.

King Cruz

Great place to get a picture taken or selfie. It's also very close to the off leash area for dogs on Dallas Rd.

Zach Whitmarsh

Praba Pillai

Good spot to start the 2 mile walk to fisherman's wharf. Beautiful view of the ocean along the way.

Jack FierceTree

Great place to take a walk.

dave peddlesden

Cool

Dankan Maclennan

Cool monument not a lot to do though

Rocky Kahlon

This is where Terry started his Marathon of Hope...A place that holds special place in my heart. Respect

Monita Cheng

The monument itself is alright. But it's in the far end of the Beacon Hill park which is nicely manicured.

Akihiro Fujii

(Translated) This is where Terry Fox aimed. He is a great hero in Canada, so I recommend you to check his story and visit here. You can see that it's not just the origin of the Canadian Crossroads. (Original) Terry Foxが目指した場所です。彼はカナダでは偉大なヒーローですので、是非彼のストーリーを調べてからここを訪れることをオススメします。カナダ大陸横断路の起点だけではないことがわかると思います。

Terry Fox! Mile Zero!

Andrew McMillan

Chris Hansen was here once

Brutally Honest

How can you not stop here and admire the significance of this location. It’s also across the road from the stairs down to a beach area and not far from the government buildings.

russ s

Beautiful spot for pictures. Right along side the ocean.

Brian Green

What a disappointment this must be for visitors. A major milestone marked by a simple sign, no explanations or maps. Maybe the council could pare back one of their gold plated bike lanes no one uses and pony up for a decent display or the tourist board...just saying

John Lynch

Beautiful, possibly my dog's very favourite part of the planet.

A must if you want to pay your respects to Terry Fox. Significant area of interest for Canada and cancer research foundation.

Ændra Rininsland

Considering I've spent countless hours driving on the Trans-Canada Highway 1, was really cool to actually go to the most western end of it. The park nearby is also really pretty.

Tiffany Jacobson

Fun

Jeff Schrader

It's a historic spot, the western end of the Trans-Canada Highway. The marker is huge, over (a guess) five feet tall and 7-8 feet wide. It works not as a park but a signifier of something significant to Canada's past, present and future. In that sense it also is a small-scale monument. Go see it if you're ever in Victoria.

It was nice to see this part of Canada's history. don't bring your good shoes here because there are a lot of deposits on the ground.

Foreverblue

The start of the 7,821 km Trans Canada highway. Hope to one day see the other end too.

Dion MacConnell

For me this is a special place. I used to have a pic of my Dad sitting at this spot on a sunny day, a year or so before I was born. The memory of this story has faded, and I can't remember what side he was sitting on. So we sat on both.... love you Dad.. miss you..

Bill Irvine

It's a wide, open greenspace adjacent to the ocean. And a poignant reminder of a courageous Canadian.

(Translated) From here, Highway One, which straddles east and west of Canada, crosses the most rugged Rocky Mountains and connects the cities of the eastern Atlantic region.

Fantastic sign, very historical

Joel Anseeuw

Great spot to watch the sunset. There are awesome walking and biking paths. Lots of beach access down to some excellent spot to look out into the ocean. Sometimes you will be lucky enough to see some marine life. There are orcas, seals, otters, and all sorts of birds.

Judy

(Translated) Other than this monument, there is nothing very special, but it is good because it is a commemorative place. If you walk a little, you can see the beautiful seaside scenery and it's good that Beacon Hill Park is nearby.

An important spot with an old fashioned sign, and a couple of newer monuments to people that have started or finished trans-Canada challenges

Nancy Bryans

Loved it. Great views and scenery. Beautiful weather in late June

Anthony Mcintyre

A good place to start out grapeview

Mohammad Mehdi

Glad we went here.

There's nothing here except a couple monuments and a patch of grass and about 400 tourists at any given time. There are no stores or shops or benches or anything of that nature.

Jenne Richardson Photo

Beautiful stroll day or night. You can enjoy the grassy meadows on the cliffs, or go down to the rocky shores at low tide. See seals and other wildlife.

Trans Canada Highway 1 ends here at Sea, great views must visit place

Ron Iankelevic

Cool piece of history right next to an awesome statue of terry fox

Jesus Velazquez

Nice place

Harjot Grewal

Basically just a big sign that says "Mile 0." Its a quick place to visit if you understand the historical significance of the TransCanada Highway.

Tom Pennells

Unassuming start to a long highway across the country. Nice to see the Terry Fox monument, but that's the only reason to spend any time here.

土萠ほたる

A must visit location to prove you're at the very left coast of Canada! Used to frequent the spot when I used to play Pokémon Go as it is a popular gym to raid or battle.

Peachey Family

Just off beacon hill park. A beautiful place to go and relax, picnic, or sight see..

Memorable!

Alex Moore

Nice beaches around this part of town and can have fires year round.

Willy Wilson

This is a beautiful monument, erected to symbolize the beginning of Canada's most iconic highway. It feels so special to stand at this monument and think about the effort of so many labors working day and night, summer and winter to build such a magnificent highway. It also has a plaque of Stephen Fonyo's inspiring run across Canada to raise awareness for Cancer. Reading these interesting stories makes us think about the sacrifices made by humankind for the benefit of others. This monument might not be too big or extravagant but it surely is inspiring and motivating.

Tom Zychowski

Located in picturesque Beacon Hill Park in British Columbia’s capital, Mile 0 is one of the symbolic starting points of the Trans-Canada Highway on the Pacific Coast. The highway, conceived in the late 1940s and constructed between 1950 and 1971, was the longest uninterrupted highway in the world at the time of its completion. Spanning a whopping 4,860 miles (7,821 kilometers), it runs across all 10 of Canada’s provinces, crossing the likes of the Rocky Mountains and the wide-open prairies of central Canada. There is no officially recognized starting point or “mile zero,” St. John’s, Newfoundland, also has a “mile zero” of their own, being the Atlantic end of the route. Located nearby is a statue of runner Terry Fox, who attempted to run the length of Trans-Canada Highway to raise money for cancer research, before succumbing to the disease himself at around the midpoint of his trek. It’s just a beginning of the road.

Xinli Liu

Good place to remember and celebrate where high way #1 started.

Brogan Stich

The real attraction is the park that surrounds the monument with amazing little paths that let you see some of the natural beauty that Victoria offers.

Yup, it's a monument. You look at it, maybe even take pictures!

Very touching and reflective place. Terry Fox monument is a must see- love that the monument is facing the ocean. Terry, you made it, all the way and further.

I had no idea this existed but I was happy to check it out. PS. There are flowers blooming in February! Is this Canada?

Renate Herberger

These photos are actually taken at the beach below the Mile Zero monument, in the 500 block of Dallas Road. This is the site where my friend Andreas Mehl/ Radojewski had fatal heart attack. Such a symbolic location to die, when Andreas was a well known marathon runner, just like his Idol Terry Fox whose Monument is just above! For me this is a memorial site and also a place of great Beauty. I hope that others will remember my friend there.

A hidden spot but with exploring

Marylyn Service-Peters

The beginning of the Trans-Canada highway in Victoria BC.

Jeff Lin

Beautiful garden with amazing ocean view ahead.

Dune Boon

People from around the world come to this spot. Sure it's mile zero. But I think it as the starting point of Canada. Or the end of you are coming form east coast. Either way you got one fantastic few of the ocean and it's right next to Beacon Hill park. Plus it doesn't hurt that Beacon drive-in is just a short walk away too.

I run a bootcamp here and it's always very inspirational to do so beside the statute of Terry Fox. What an absolutely AMAZING person. Having said that... The actual sight isn't quite as beautiful as what you'll see if you travel 200 meters south down to the ocean

Darren Westwood

Amazing testiment to ana amazing man!

Jared Bayley

Start of the Trans Canada Highway, the highway that goes all the way across Canada! This is a cool monument to see, and really helps you appreciate the incredible length of the highway. It's right by the ocean and situated in Beacon Hill Park, so if you're paying the monument a visit you can also spend some time by the ocean or walking through the park! That would make for a great summer's afternoon.

Tailspin Tannis

Beautiful monument to a beautiful young man that did so much for so many before he went to heaven, and after.

James Meihe

It's a quasi interesting curiosity, but really not that amazing. In saying that there always seems to be one or two tour busses parked here so I presume many find it amazing or something. The area around is fantastic, with the beach/ocean and Beacon Hill park all across the street, so to stop, see it, say, "ok, I've seen it", take a selfie, and then spend several hours in the surrounding area is well worth the time. 3 stars for monument but 5 for the surrounding area.

A Nan Cao

Hwy 1. Very nice highway. Terry Fox statue was cool too.

Saul Andersen (FoodieCabbie)

It's the beginning of the Trans Canada Hwy which will take you through to Halifax N.S.

It's a must-see among Victoria's many site-seeing places.

Nifty little monument to mark one end of the trans-Canada highway! You can park in one of the small nearby roads and walk over to snap a few pictures. Of course, there are lots of geese around, so you probably don't want to hang around for too long. Other than that, it's a great landmark!

Super relaxing, beautiful view

Hallam P.

The monument is just a pig patch of grass with a little statue. Not much too see there. Off to the side the ocean view is quite nice especially on a sunny but breezy day.

Leo Bartels

A nice patch of grass with a few trees and a good view. In the middle of 3 roads so not super peaceful. No amenities. To small and to much traffic to be good for dogs, though it's right in the middle of some really good dog walking.

What a magnificent person Terry Fox was. Stephen Fonyo of the same ilk.

Juan Geldres

This is were Highway 1 officially starts before crossing Canada from coast to coast including a short trip in the ferry from Nanaimo to Tsawwassen. There is a Terry Fox memorial near by where you can pay your respects to this Canadian icon. Nice trails around to walk on the beach and watch the sunsets.

More importantly, nearby is the Terry Fox Memorial monument commemorating the what would have been the end point of Terry's dream to run across the continent to raise awareness about cancer. Terry died in Thunder Bay after having run from Newfoundland.

Timtwoface (Timtwoface)

Unlike what Tofino claims, this location at Douglas and Dallas has always been THE west coast terminus of the Trans Canada Highway. It's a beautiful spot in its own right, on the edge of the world, high on the cliffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with plenty of other lovely monuments present, such as the Terry Fox monument right beside Mile Zero.

Joe W

Nice park, with a view of the horizon, a couple of monuments (other one is for Terry Fox), not much else going on here (also well known is Beacon Hill nearby)

Good place to visit if you are close to the area, nothing special or worth driving form far.

I always thought it was pronounced Milio until my wife told me it was Mile 0. Excellent monument. Would come back

Anthony McIntyre

The Parks board the city and all the workers contractors subcontractors did it spectacular job in making the park more friendly open and usable excellent job

It's the start of the trans canada

Jason Yee

The Mile Zero Monument marks the beginning (or the end) of the trans-Canada highway in Victoria, BC. Unfortunately, the monument is fairly unremarkable. The monument is located in a fairly open park and next to Beacon Hill Park where there's a beach and more park space. Sadly, there aren't any information plaques or sorts that talk about the trans-Canadian highway, the history behind it, or anything to that extent. Beware, many tourists come to the monument during peak tourist season. Limited street parking.

Brad Zakreski

Very cool to see the end of the Trans-Canada Trail.

Douglas Schaden

Has anyone noticed that next to the "Mile 0" sign is a speed limit sign reminding everyone that distance in Canada is measured in kilometres?

Not a lot to the Mile Zero marker itself. However, this is something you can combine with visits to Beacon Hill Park and Finlayson Point.

Jenny

It was slightly underwhelming, there was construction everywhere so that probably didn’t help. We have been travelling from the east coast, so it would of been more exciting to hit the other end, with a better monument. Perhaps they could have a donation box to support building something else?

Ethan K

It’s a bit overrated but a decent place nonetheless.

JON CLIVE

People drink here and watch dogs run fast

Catherine Carson

Terry Fox ran across Canada to this place and they have a sculpture of him at mile zero.

Gary Graham

Like what? I didn't even realize that I was here. My GPS kept yelling "you've reached your destination" and I couldn't see anything. Or so I thought. After a closer look, I see a board saying "MILE 0". I was like, "what??". I drove all the way to see this?! There is nothing special here. Please check google street view once before you decide to visit this place. Once you see the "monument" on google street view, enjoy, and drop your plans of coming here.

Cap Tiva

(Translated) It's just the beginning and the end of one of the longest continuous streets in the world. When you're there, you can check this place off your personal list. I've been here and found it beautiful and uplifting. But that's just my feeling and my opinion. I was here. Nothing else. (Original) Es ist einfach der Beginn und das Ende einer der längsten, durchgehenden Straßen der Welt. Wenn man da ist, kann man diesen Ort auf seiner persönlichen Liste abhaken. Ich war hier und fand es schön und erhebend. Aber das ist nur mein Gefühl und meine Meinung. I was here. Nothing else.

Robert Shortis

End of our journey across Canada.

Christopher Keays

Great views and well detailed monuments

Ram1500

I expected more. But great icecream just a few blocks down for there

Live Van Isle

The spot to take a photo if you traveled all the way to the West Coast or if you're driving from Victoria to the East Coast. There's also a Terry Fox Monument here and a great view if you take the crosswalk to see the ocean. This is located right in the middle of the road where Douglas forks at Dallas Rd. You should be able to park on the street nearby.

Ryan Pan

It's a good place to visit, we had a nice walk along the sea wall before arriving here.

Nice quick stop to see a spot that marked national history

The monument itself I thought was not worth the trip. But the surrounding neighborhood and park are really nice. The nearby coastline / beaches are pretty and offer great views onto Olympia National Park.

Kevin Harding

It's a very interesting place, especially to know the context of both Steve Fonyo and Terry Fox. Head down to the beach after you've read the plaque #alwaysreadtheplaque

(Translated) Super nice place, with big geese everywhere, especially suitable for taking pictures! The statue of Terry Fox at the back reminds me of Terry Fox Run, which always runs in high school. There is a small seaside plank road right in front, and you can reach the super beautiful seaside along the way! (Original) 超级好看的地方，到处都是大鹅，特别适合拍照！后面Terry Fox的雕像让我想起了高中老是跑的Terry Fox Run。正前面有一个海边小栈道，一路下去就能到达超好看的海边！

Tucked away in the corner of Beacon Hill Park. Amazing place to be, especially when you've been on the other end of it in St John's Newfoundland, Signal Hill. Just a few steps away from the Terry Fox Monument.

Ephrem “Babylone” Bonus

Good

Sanjay Patel

Walk down to the shoreline just 2-3 minutes further and walk amongst the boulders for a truly zen experience. Would be a good place for a picnic lunch if weather allows.

Brian Mott

Best view in town

Neat to say you've been there, but it doesn't even tell you that it is mile 0 of the Transcanada highway. If you just happened on the sign, you'd say "mile 0 of what?"
