The Victoria IEOA Truck Parade and Food Drive: What You Need to Know

This must be one of the brightest parades around with a fleet of over 80 commercial trucks and buses that will light up the streets of Victoria BC for the annual truck parade and food drive, hosted by the Island Equipment Owners Association (IEOA).

The IEOA Truck Parade starts in Victoria at the Breakwater District at Ogden Point at 5 p.m. and finishes at Royal Bay in Colwood at approximately 8 p.m.

The route will begin at the Breakwater, travel along Dallas Road and loop through Oak Bay before turning left onto Fort Street, turning right onto Yates Street and right onto Douglas Street. It will then travel north on Douglas Street. It will then travel north on Douglas Street and head through downtown to Saanich and out to the West Shore.

Visitors are encouraged to walk, cycle or take public transit to watch the annual truck parade, and for those who can, please consider making an online contribution to one of the following organizations:

*Mustard Seed Street Church and Food Bank
*Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank
*Goldstream Food Bank

Over the years, the Truck Light Convoy has donated over 170,000 pounds of food and $84,000 in fundraising support of local food banks.

Traffic Impacts
