Where could such a facility locate in the Region if it is to be put under one roof?

However Ostro said her organization is working with a relatively new group of seven "cultural precincts" that all need new facilities.
The Victoria Symphony, Pacific Opera Victoria, Maritime Museum of B.C., Children's Museum Association, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Sail & Life Training Society, and Boat Works have formed a workinggroup aimed at finding a joint facility that could be used by all of the organizations.
Greg Evans, chairman of the working group and executive director of the maritime museum, said the groups need a total of 228,000 square feet which could be under one roof "or a constellation of facilities" that are in one location and connected.
The group was formed last summer and meets monthly, including in their discussions representatives of the Provincial Capital Commission, Greater Victoria Harbour Association, Tourism Victoria and the City of Victoria.

You put all these things into one place and you just get people deciding to see that place or the museum. You seven sites all over the city and you get people going hey I should spend a couple days exploring this city.
