Mile Zero


Mile Zero is a significant landmark located in Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It is the starting point of the Trans-Canada Highway, which is the longest national highway in the world, stretching over 4,860 miles from Victoria to St. John's, Newfoundland.

Mile Zero is marked by a large, concrete monument that was erected in 1962 to commemorate the highway's completion. The monument features a map of Canada and the inscription "Mile 0" in large letters. The site is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and many visitors take photos of themselves next to the monument to commemorate their visit.

In addition to its significance as the starting point of the Trans-Canada Highway, Mile Zero is also located near a number of other popular attractions in Beacon Hill Park. These include the Beacon Hill Petting Zoo, the Beacon Hill Children's Farm, and the park's numerous gardens, playgrounds, and sports facilities.

Overall, Mile Zero is a must-see destination for visitors to Victoria, particularly those interested in the history and culture of Canada's highways and transportation infrastructure. It is a unique and important landmark that represents the beginning of a truly epic journey across Canada.
