West Shore Arts Council

Our History – The West Shore Arts Council (WSAC) was founded as a not-for-profit society in 1988, and today serves the cultural programming needs of over 80,000 people in five British Columbia communities – the cities of Langford and Colwood, Town of View Royal, and the Districts of Metchosin and Highlands, which all form part of the province’s Capital Regional District on Vancouver Island. The West Shore is recognized as one of the fastest growing regions in British Columbia. Our population is expected to double over the next twenty years and, as the area’s lead advocacy organization for the arts and culture, the West Shore Arts Council is working hard to keep pace in delivering cultural services and the valuable contributions they make to a healthy and vibrant community.
