Saanich, Canada
John Dean Provincial Park
ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱/John Dean Provincial Park, formerly John Dean Provincial Park, is a small, densely vegetated provincial park on the Saanich Peninsula of southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The park is located on and around ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱, a mountain in the traditional territory of the Wsanec First Nations, itself situated 20 km north of Victoria, the provincial capital city. Featuring lush vegetation, the park is noted for its virgin old-growth douglas-fir and western red cedar, with large specimens up to 70 m in height and for its rich Coastal Douglas-Fir ecosystem, little of which remains on southern Vancouver Island.
