Victoria Airport Authority Annual Report 2012

The new 135 square metre Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub in the Lower Passenger
Departure Lounge will feature a full service dining area, a relaxed bar/lounge,
and a store that stocks a selection of fresh and delicious pre-packaged meals,
as well as a wide variety of specialty products.
Two new retail stores will give travellers a relaxing experience and an impressive
selection of merchandise. Breakwater Boutique, a beautiful store with an open
concept to encourage travellers to stroll in for a look, will offer a sophisticated
choice of local apparel and accessories, as well as gifts, toys and convenience
items pre-security. Harbourwalk Shops & Duty Free, located post-security,
will reflect Victoria’s unique culture and atmosphere. Designed especially for
Victoria International Airport, this store will provide a welcoming environment
anchored by high quality apparel and fashion accessories from Canadian favourites
Sitka, Tilley Endurables and Cabrelli, as well as local gourmet products, souvenirs
and an expansive offering of duty-free items.
These improvements will create an atmosphere of quality within which passengers
will enjoy comfortable and highly functional facilities and friendly services. They are
part of VAA’s efforts to create the best experience possible for travellers through YYJ.
Construction, which began in December 2012, will be complete mid-2014.
