Sea levels are projected to rise by half a metre by 2050, increasing both the frequency and severity of flooding. By century’s end, the ocean could rise as much as 1.3 metres — enough to submerge entire neighbourhoods.

Other high-risk communities include Courtenay, Campbell River, Parksville, Sidney, Qualicum Beach, North Saanich, and Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
