April 1, 2025. There's a concrete structure on Mount Tolmie, in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. There are conflicting accounts of what it is and I was curious, so I posted this video. Some sources claim the concrete structure is a reservoir, while others claim it is the foundation of a World War II coastal defense building and VHF radio communications tower. In the 1890s, the Mountain had large white letters on the west face spelling out "MT TOLMIE PARK," and a tower with a 140-metre (460-foot) long "snowless toboggan slide."

Absolutely looks like a reservoir and positioned exactly where one should be.

could be both, in my hometown there was a tower also the English used it to communicate during the cold war, maybe WW2 itself

I've since found out it is a reservoir built in the 1960s. There was a WWII spotting station and VHF antenna on the mountain, but it was where one of the parking lots is now.
