Hi All - addy ( r/addyinvest ) is an online investment platform that enables everyone to invest in real estate, for as little as $1. We enable Canadians to invest directly into a specific property so that it is not only the rich that have an opportunity to own. We have done 18 institutional grade properties so far across Canada and the next one to launch is going to be in Sooke!

This is the first announcement that we are going to launch a property in Sooke. There is no mention of it yet on our website. Enabling Sooke residents to invest into a property in their community is one of our goals. https://www.addyinvest.com/

Greetings, people of Sooke! My wife and I are planning on moving to Sooke and we were curious how often Sooke experiences power outages. We both work from home so losing power/internet would be somewhat inconvenient...but also a great excuse to read a book by candle light!

A friend and I have a hotel booked for this coming mid-week/weekend. How do residents feel about people coming into the community? Positively about tourism dollars? Or negatively due to affecting supply chain. We’re happy to re-book. I just don’t want to make a tone deaf decision.

Hi Sooke!!

I’m super excited to see your beautiful city!! I’ve never been and I’m planning a motorcycle adventure ride around the Pacific Marine Road Loop

Just curious to know what i could expect in regards to weather and road conditions in March. I’ll be there March 4-6 2022. Is the entire road paved? My trip goes from Sooke to Point Renfrew to Lake Cowichan to Duncan and back to Sooke. No stops, maybe one or two to adjust my butt. Any warnings I should take note of? I ride an ADV bike that is excellent in wet conditions.

Also, anyone have recommendations on pub grub with an emphasis on dessert options!

Thank you so much for reading and i look forward to any assistance i can get!

Me and my brother are looking for places to film for mainly indoor places, we can't seem to find any places to film in Sooke. any recommendations will help and even if It's outdoors, but we are mainly looking for indoors, so if you have any places in mind please tell me the place. Ty😁

I'm getting bored knowing that I have lived in Sooke for over 11 years now so I want to know if there is any restaurants that I've never been to so I can go with my friends😁

So I know that Stoked Pizza is usually open on Thursdays, and there's no update on their website or answering message, but I'd like to confirm -- does anyone know if they will REALLY be open on the 11th? TIA for any help.

There has been constant hovering helicopter noise near the ground for days just west of the sunriver development. Does anyone know what's going on? It's very loud and constant, like the helicopter isn't moving.

I am a professional photographer and I’m looking to photograph a married couple who still has their wedding attire.

I’ll be in the area from sept 17th-20th. Please leave a comment if you’re interested and I’ll get in touch

Would I be able to enjoy Sooke with a toddler? I'm worried that the river/swimming area is too far for a toddler to go. He's almost 3.

My girlfriend was recently traveling on Vancouver Island and was sexually assaulted by a man from Sooke. I have his name, phone number, social media profiles and place of work. I want to get this information out into the public so that people are aware of him and the danger he presents, so that he cant do this to anyone else. Are there any local community groups I could share this information with?

Hello! A couple friends and I are hiking the JDF and have heard the parking lot at China Beach is not super safe to leave a vehicle so we are thinking about leaving it in Sooke. Any recommendations for where to park overnight safely in Sooke town for 3-4 nights?
