Sooke.org is for locals, by locals.

A passion project of Caprina Designs, Sooke.org is the longest continuously-running Sooke community website, since year 2000.

Born-and-raised Sooke resident Caprina Valentine resumed the helm in 2022. While others have come and gone, Sooke.org has a proven track record and staying power over two decades.

Business listings support the community by making it possible to keep this website updated and listing community groups and events for free.

Consistently receiving feedback that Sooke.org is a valuable resource for local and prospective residents, the website reaches people through its long-term exceptional search rankings.
