I am new to the Victoria area and depending on who you ask you get differnt answers to the affiliation Oak Bay has with Victoria. I know Oak bay has their own police force but if I'm not mistaking many services are shared with the city of Victoria. I hope someone with knowledge could elaborate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.87.81.3 ( talk) 19:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
I thought the previous name for McNeill Bay was 'Shoal Bay' and that 'Oak Bay' is the larger bay on the east side of the municipality facing Mount Baker, where Willows Beach is located. Corlyon 03:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Corlyon

- Uplands was not developed by the Guiness family so I've taken out that reference.

Oak Bay is "stereotyped" as a "holdout" for the old and the wealthy because of its "well-maintained homes with equally well-tended gardens"? I don't know if you call that weasel words or just a total lack of objectivity, but perhaps it could be rephrased in terms of number of retirees, median household income, and not mentioning the gardens at all, unless they are public or especially notable? 66.183.63.185 ( talk) 08:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
There isn't yet an article on the landform or the park, so "parking" these images here for potential use; from the British Library collection at the commons

Currently under the section Oak Bay - History, it is noted that "Oak Bay is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish People of the Songhees First Nation."
As the Douglas Treaties (signed between 1850 and 1854) were signed between the Sonhees Nation and the government of the day which included the lands of Oak Bay, the word "unceded" needs to be changed to "historical"
