I will feature a weekly giveaway to 6 different properties for the next 6 Tuesdays in a row and Backyard BC will host a grand prize giveaway where you can enter once to win all 6 prizes. That’s a lot of local hotel stays!

The first giveaway of the 2012 BC Travel Tuesday campaign is for a beautifully appointed property on the outer banks of Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
