SUMMARY:Builders of the Dunsmuir Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On September 30\, 1890\, the Vancouver World reported that Joan Dunsmuir had moved into her new $500\,000 residence. Craigdarroch Castle’s scale and grandeur were unprecedented in Victoria\, inspiring admiration for its craftsmanship while drawing attention to the wealth and power it so boldly displayed. Although scores of city dwellers worked on the construction project\, many key tradesmen came from elsewhere. Several remained in Victoria\, building their reputations on the skills showcased at Craigdarroch. Drawing on research from the book\, Craigdarroch Reconstructed\, castle curator Jenny Seeman will introduce us to some of the architects\, contractors\, and craftsmen behind the iconic Dunsmuir homes that still shape Victoria’s skyline.

SUMMARY:Norman Morison: Victoria’s Mayflower — Part II
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Bay Company-owned ship Norman Morison made three voyages (1850\, 1851\, 1853) from Great Britain to Victoria. The third voyage was the HBC’s first attempt to introduce settlers. It included many families who entered five-year indentured commitments to the HBC in return for their own land. As these settlers became the early core of the Capital Region\, the Norman Morison can be considered our Mayflower. Mike Woodcock will build on last year’s tour by taking us to the graves and highlighting the stories of more of these early passengers. The tour will finish at the grave site of a notable Norman Morison passenger where a new grave marker has been installed.
