add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Did you know that 60% of the population of Fort Victoria was French-speaking? The arrival of a wave of American miners during the gold rush of 1858 changed all that. This summer, from July 22 to September 9, the Society of Friends of St. Ann’s Academy invites you to follow a free guided tour in order to discover the heart of Victoria’s Francophone past.
These tours are offered in English as well as in French and take place on Sundays. Meet us in front of the entrance staircase of St. Ann’s Academy.
Departures at 1 pm on for French tours - 2:30 pm for English tours. The tour lasts approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. For more information, contact call 250-953-8820 or email [email protected] The tours are led outdoors in the Humboldt Valley neighbourhood.
We hope to see many of you there! Don’t forget to bring your visiting friends and relatives, and to pass the word around in your English and French-speaking circles.
