“Few communities offer full access to a castle, a lighthouse, miles of ocean beachfront and old growth forest, parks and lakes, as well as warm and welcoming neighbourhood areas,” reads the City of Colwood website, which posted the news this week.
Hatley Castle has been featured in other major films such as the X-Men series, Descendants and more.
