View Royal has sold 9.8 hectares of land containing arbutus trees and stands of Douglas fir to the Capital Regional District for the expansion of Mill Hill Regional Park.

The municipality will get $927,500 for the four parcels and invest the funds into parkland acquisitions within the town. View Royal council had pitched the idea to the CRD with the hope it would expand Mill Hill.

The CRD said the parcels are in a coastal Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone and home to a significant number of species and ecosystems at risk, some ranked globally as imperiled or critically imperiled. The Mill Hill summit at 203 metres provides for scenic views of Esquimalt Harbour, Victoria and surrounding hills. The park is currently about 72 hectares in size and trails connect it with Thetis Lake Regional Park.
