Lucky you, if you're thinking of visiting us this year!  Summer events such as the Classic Boat Festival, Folk Festival, Luminara, Symphony Splash... Year-round theatre, concerts, sailing, golfing, walking and exploring... Victoria really is a City for All Seasons! Southern Vancouver Island has a rich and colourful history! I enjoy sharing it with visitors from all over the world, showing them the best of Victoria - our capital city and the jewel in British Columbia's crown!  (See Guided Tours  page for sample tours available). For those who have enjoyed my stories about Victoria's early days and colourful characters, my latest book continues to be a popular item on bookstore shelves. "Building Victoria: Men, Myths and Mortar" features the stories behind some of Victoria’s commercial heritage structures.  Many are around or near the Inner Harbour, and some were built by people featured in "On The Street Where You Live" - my book series about Victoria's street names (see  Books  page). Billed as "a must-see for intrepid urban explorers," "Building Victoria" includes the Parliament Buildings, Empress Hotel, Crystal Garden, Old Court House (now the Maritime Museum), Chinese Public School, James Bay Inn, St. Ann’s Academy, Craigdarroch Castle and many more. If you live in Victoria, or lived here in the past... are expecting visitors... have someone in your family who’s researching for a school project... This book should be at the top of your list! Copies are available from your favourite BC bookstore, or from this web site (see  Books  page for details)! Another great gift idea for yourself or others – "Explore Victoria By Car!" - a self-guided driving tour on CD! (See  Danda's Driving Tour  page for details)! Writing takes up most of my time this month, otherwise I'm out and about as usual during April.  Watch out for me along the streets of Victoria … in the James Bay Beacon, Focus Magazine, and the Times Colonist!
