A History of the William Head Quarantine Station, 1872-1959
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
For close to ninety years, the William Head Quarantine Station in Metchosin was the major port of entry for immigrants arriving in western Canada. Historian Peter Johnson will share stories of life at the Quarantine Station for the immigrants who were housed there, the medical pioneers who staffed it, and the local families who took a sterile and remote environment and made it into a thriving community.
Copies of Johnson�s new book Quarantined: Life and Death at William Head Station, 1872-1959 will be available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds going to the Metchosin Museum Society.
Free admission. All welcome.
