  • Craigdarroch Military Hospital: a Canadian War Story
    Craigdarroch Military Hospital: A Canadian War Story Bruce Davies Curator © Craigdarroch Castle 2016 2 Abstract As one of many military hospitals operated by the federal government during and after The Great War of 1914-1918, the Dunsmuir house “Craigdarroch” is today a lens through which museum staff and visitors can learn how Canada cared for its injured and disabled veterans. Broad examination of military and civilian medical services overseas, across Canada, and in particular, at Craigdarroch, shows that the Castle and the Dunsmuir family played a significant role in a crucial period of Canada’s history. This paper describes the medical care that wounded and sick Canadian soldiers encountered in France, Belgium, Britain, and Canada. It explains some of the measures taken to help permanently disabled veterans successfully return to civilian life. Also covered are the comprehensive building renovations made to Craigdarroch, the hospital's official opening by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the question of why the hospital operated so briefly. By highlighting the wartime experiences of one Craigdarroch nurse and one Craigdarroch patient, it is seen that opportunities abound for rich story- telling in a new gallery now being planned for the museum. The paper includes an appendix offering a synopsis of the Dunsmuir family’s contributions to the War. 3 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................. 04 I.

It takes advantage of newly digitized historical newspapers and soldier files to explore how the people of Victoria B.C. Canada, over 8000 kilometers from the front, experienced the Great War 1914-1918. Although that experience was similar to other Canadian cities in many ways, in other respects it was quite different. Victoria’s geographical location on the very fringe of the Empire sets it apart. Demographic and ethnic differences from the rest of Canada and a very different history of indigenous-settler relations had a dramatic effect on who went to war, who resisted and how war was commemorated in Victoria.

The new “Academic Continuum” presents these all at the same time. This fold-out piece is now available from the Admissions Office. This new publication, headed by Senior School Director of Academics Dr. Tom Matthews, includes the school’s Five Guiding Academic Principles and Mission Statement. The preparation of the Continuum was a collaborative effort involving every member of faculty from all three campuses. Team members worked in inter-campus, subject- strand groups. Teachers carefully reviewed their programmes, focusing on content, skills, teaching strategies, and student evaluation techniques. Over the course of two years, significant revisions were made to the academic programme. Gaps in content were filled, key skills were reinforced, and any unnecessary overlaps or repetitions were removed. In addition, new programmes were To receive a copy of the new established.

  • The Chinese Cemetery in Victoria* DAVID GHUENYAN LAI
    The Chinese Cemetery in Victoria* DAVID GHUENYAN LAI The original location of the Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point in Vic­ toria — the oldest Chinese cemetery in Canada — is a disputed topic among oldtimers. Some say it was originally established near Beacon Hill Park; others advance Ross Bay as the location; still others remember it situated behind the Saanich Municipal Hall and buildings (figure i). This paper evaluates these various claims and gives something of the history of the cemetery's establishment. The Quadra Street Cemetery, which occupied what is now Pioneer Square, was the first cemetery in Victoria, in use from 1858 to 1873. The northeast corner of the cemetery was set aside for the Chinese people and became the first "Chinese cemetery" in Victoria.1 As the Quadra Street Cemetery became overcrowded, Ross Bay Cemetery, facing Ross Bay, was laid out in October 1872 and opened for burials in the following year.2 A search of Ross Bay Cemetery's Burial Records reveals that the first Chinese who was interred there, on 18 March 1873, was listed as "Chinaman No. i."3 The ensuing Chinese who were buried there were recorded in similarly derisive terms as "Chinaman No. 2,", "Chinaman No. 3" and so on. Probably the caretaker found it difficult to spell Chinese names and did not bother to try. It was not until 4 October 1880 that Chinese names were recorded in the Burial Records. From 1873 through 1909, a total of 1,178 Chinese were buried in the Ross Bay Cemetery (figure 2). Considering that the average annual Chinese population in Victoria during this period was about 2,000, the annual death rate — about 38 per thousand — was not very high in those days.
