A lot of people associate Esquimalt as the 'ghetto' of Victoria due to deeply engrained stereotypes. The media constantly shows the violence and crime that occurs in the area. However Esquimalt is a very diverse community that is constantly changing. Many of the preconceived notions about the area are not entirely true. So what really defines Esquimalt and why are there these stereotypes?

This video was made for my suburban geography class.

  • @lolajune you totally got it wrong, it's colloquially called ESQ students...(ES??? u from oak bay?)

  • @ESQwarrior chill bro, chill

  • lolz, the driver totally california stopped a few times...

  • I spent many years in Esquimalt and loved. Yes, I even lived on one of those "terrible" bases. I always felt safe and given the opportunity I would move back in a heartbeat.

  • wow, this video just shows that people in victoria don't know much about where they live or the navy.

  • esquimalt is not ghetto. its so tiring hearing people "brag" about it.

  • Navy personnel rarely get posted outside the west coast also most navy don't live in Esquimalt

  • wow ...people from victoria need to wake up..victoria is nice but that is the area they need to worry about it is in fact the area that brings victoria down as fare as a bad area that bring it the city down

  • I grew up in Esquimalt, within sight of Naden, in the 1960's and 70's. I have nothing but positive memories of my childhood community. Life and career took me away to the prairies but I intend to retire back on the island within five years.

    Despite having to suffer with the label of living on the wrong side of the tracks I intend to settle somewhere in Esquimalt. Perhaps I'll be able to help with some aspect of Esquimalt's revitalization. I'll always be proud to have come from there.

  • Esquimalt WOOO!!!!
