I love a Vancouver Island escape in the summer. Somehow I still haven't made it to Malahat SkyWalk, but that giant spiral tower and 360-degree views have been calling my name. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, listen up...

We're sending one lucky winner on the ultimate Island getaway: round-trip BC Ferries, a 2-night stay at Fairways, 4 passes to Malahat SkyWalk, 4 tickets to the Royal BC Museum, 4 signature wine tastings, and a $100 dining voucher. Sounds pretty perfect to me!*
