What is the provincial capitol at the end of Vancouver island?

The border was decided to be located along the 49th parallel; however, Victoria was below the 49th parallel and would become United States territory. Thus, the capitol was moved to Victoria to prevent the United States from taking Victoria and any of the other cities of Vancouver Island that fell below the 49th parallel.
