With its old-growth forests, oceanfront spaces, and sun-filled fields, the Colwood campus of Royal Roads University is a preferred destination to hold organized outdoor activities in the Capital Regional District.
We've had the pleasure of hosting sport and cultural events, dog training, environmental initiatives and more.
RRU regulates all activity that takes place on the grounds, including the surrounding trail system. We are committed to safety and protecting nature and to being a great host to guests on our 565 acres, the traditional lands of the Lekwungen-speaking Peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
