Since 2008, the first Friday of November is Random Act of Kindness Day, an initiative that has brought smiles, comfort and connection to communities across Canada. Residents of Victoria took to social media Nov. 2 to share some moments of kindness that happened around the capital during this year’s event.

The Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia Janet Austin captured the thoughtfulness that spread at Government House.
