Hatley Memorial Gardens

Join us for a new tour of this 1932 lawn cemetery where many notable people are buried. Originally known as The Colwood Burial Park or The Colwood Cemetery, it is privately owned and operated by Arbor Memorial, a Canadian company. Enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds, while hearing stories told by an OCS team. We’ll visit the graves of Olympic swim coach Archie McKinnon; Victoria’s first woman “alderman” Margaret Christie; and Showboat impresario and champion fiddler Bert White, among others. The main entrance is at 2050 Sooke Road in Colwood. Meet near the office building. Look for the OCS flag.
