A new Netflix interactive map is pinpointing some of the dozens of locations its recently released show Maid was filmed in around Greater Victoria.
Some sites, such as the Gordon Head Recreation Centre, which served as a hospital, or the West Shore Parks and Recreation daycare, which served as BԪַIsland Kids PreschoolBԪַ, received media coverage during filming.
A few, like the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, could be recognized even by infrequent visitors to the region.
But only seasoned residents likely spotted sites like Tillicum Laundromat, The Duke Saloon, Fernwood Square and The Guild. And even they may not have known the waterfront mansion where show lead Alex meets Regina is in Ten Mile Point, or that the gazebo where Alex throws her daughterBԪַs birthday party under is in East Sooke.

A location shoot, showrunner Molly Smith Metzler told Netflix they relied entirely on what the region had to offer.
BԪַI would jump at the chance to shoot here again, but IBԪַve been reluctant to tell too many people about Victoria, because it is such a wonderful place to shoot,BԪַ she said. BԪַIt has everything you want when youBԪַre shooting, plus that feeling of being somewhere very warm and specialBԪַ
The map doesnBԪַt show every spot Maid was filmed, but it does give residents some insider knowledge of what was going on under their noses for the last two years.
And it doesnBԪַt stop at Maid. The map shows shooting locations for shows and movies filmed across Canada, such as The QueenBԪַs Gambit, The Umbrella Academy and Firefly Lane.
