  • 50Th Anniversary Quilt Project

    50Th Anniversary Quilt Project

    50th Anniversary Quilt Project 1 Capital Regional District 625 Fisgard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1R7 250.360.3000 www.crd.bc.ca 2 Celebrating the Region: The CRD 50th Anniversary Quilt Project 3 Foreword The 50th anniversary of the Capital Regional District took place in 2016. To celebrate this milestone, the CRD created a legacy project to showcase the collaboration that has built the region and its sense of connection and inclusiveness. Through this project, the CRD worked with 33 members from the quilting community to design a regional quilt. The quilt is composed of 28 unique blocks that weave a tapestry of the capital region’s stunning landscapes and showcase our community of communities. Each of the 13 municipalities and three electoral areas is represented by one block. The CRD also worked with Tsawout First Nation artists to design three blocks for the quilt. To tie the quilt together, additional blocks were created representing iconic images and locations in our region. In order to create a sense of connection between each block, the quilters were all given the same 10 fabrics as a base and instructed to use those fabrics for 70% of the block. The quilters were then able to choose any other fabric to make up the rest of the block, adding to the uniqueness of the piece. Some of the groups reached out to their local First Nations communities to collaborate and seek permission to include local symbolism and design. The result is a stunning piece of artwork that tells the story of the Capital Regional District.

    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.
