What to wear? Victoria’s weather is influenced by climatic conditions over the eastern Pacific. A jacket or a sweater sometimes can be a real comfort, especially in the evening. Normally, June/July daytime temperatures are warm with daylight lasting until 2200 hours. A light jacket or a sweater can be comfortable, especially in the evening.

Reunion dress codes are casual summer attire for both men and women. However, those of you who would like to wear your PAA uniform or your national attire it is encouraged and welcomed. Shorts, Jeans, tee shirts, and flip-flops (thongs) are unacceptable attire for reunion functions.
