Goldstream

Two different neighbourhoods located in Langford, British Columbia in Greater Victoria on southern Vancouver Island include the name Goldstream.

[1] Goldstream Meadows is a neighbourhood in the city of Langford, on the northwest outskirts of Greater Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

The community is located just west of Langford Lake and the Trans-Canada Highway and adjacent to the river of the same name, which was the scene of a small gold rush in the 1860s.

[2] At the turn of the century, the Lubbe Hydroelectric Plant was operated near Goldstream and created electricity by running high pressure drinking water through a turbine.

The area has been the focus of major enhancement work over the years and has received many beautification projects such as the construction of an archway entrance, musical fountain round-about, wide red brick sidewalks, and colourful flowerbeds.
