Pastimes in Past Times with the Old Cemeteries Society
February 16 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$5
The Old Cemeteries Society’s first walking tour of the 2025 season coincides with the start of Heritage Week in Canada. Heritage BC has chosen “Pastimes in Past Times” as this year’s theme, so the OCS is joining with hundreds of other heritage groups in promoting this intriguing topic. RBC offers many graves linked to people with a wide variety of hobbies and leisure pursuits: music, theatricals, oratory, sailing, fishing, spiritualism, taxidermy, philately, and raising exotic orchids, birds and monkeys. On this new tour, John Adams will reveal some of the quirky and mundane pastimes enjoyed by Victorians of a century or more ago. This tour is wheelchair accessible.
