There is a new website out there called
Landmarks: Public Art in the Capital Region.
At the moment it only covers Saanich, Victoria and Esquimalt, but it has a good interface for searching, has pictures of all the works and a lot of details about the work.
A search shows 68 works in Victoria, 18 in Saanich and only 4 in Esquimalt. I did not see any works from UVic or Camuson - I know there are works at both. There was also nothing from CFB Esquimalt, though I have no idea if there is anything on the base.
Here is an example of what is in the page about an artwork.
