Category 12 Brewing SAVOUR NATURE’S BOUNTY: Saanich & Sidney Experience any of the North Saanich Flavour Trail’s signature events, which showcase farmers’ market fare and sips from wineries, distilleries, breweries and cideries. For example, slip into Church & State Wines or DeVine Vineyard for a sip and a bite, or pop by Category 12 Brewing to see how beer gets made. The Roost Farm Centre grows its own wheat, veggies and more, while Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse maintains 10 acres with more than 1,300 apple trees. More bounty from the earth is on full display at The Butchart Gardens, a lavish collection of intricate gardens, painstakingly cared for blooms and meandering pathways perfect for strolling.

PLUS Saanich and Sidney also are ideal launching points for a trip to the Gulf Islands. At Swartz Bay, hop on a direct ferry ride to the Southern Gulf Islands (non-direct routes are o ered to the Northern Gulf Islands). Salt Spring Island is the most populated, and it’s a must-stop. Galiano Island’s forested geography means hiking; try the 2.5-kilometre Bodega Ridge Trail. Rocky coves dot the bucolic landscape of Mayne Island, while Saturna Island welcomes travellers searching for quiet beauty and peaceful isolation.

Try the Pinot Noir at Averill Creek Vineyard. continued on page 10 ➤

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM As one of Canada’s top museums, it’s no surprise that the Royal BC Museum has more going on than meets the eye. Kim Gough, the museum’s Learning Program Developer, points out details hidden in plain sight. The Old Town exhibit, for example, subtly shows the march of time with kerosene lights on one side of the street and electric lights on the other. And those cobbles under your feet? They’re actually Douglas ﬁ r blocks. In the First People’s Gallery, the model Secwepemc kekuli (meaning “pit house”) was built with the help of a Secwepemc elder. “Look for the notch down the back of the ladder; it acts as a handhold,” explains Gough. Intrigued? Get the inside scoop on one of the museum’s “Behind the Scenes” tours. And while at the museum, make time to catch a ﬁ lm at IMAX Victoria, the largest IMAX screen in British Columbia. 675 Belleville St., Victoria, 250-356-7226, royalbcmuseum.bc.ca

Purple glass in Downtown Victoria

LET THERE BE LIGHT MARK VUKOBRAT In Downtown Victoria, as you stroll around the Yarrow Building – near Broad, Broughton and Fort streets – look for purple prisms embedded in the sidewalks. These were installed in the early 1900s to allow sunlight to ﬁ lter into the basements below. The purple color is due to manganese (added to the clear glass as a stabilizer at the time), which then turned purple with exposure to sunlight. Want to see more purple prisms? They’re also on Douglas, Blanshard, lower Johnson and North Park streets. And those cool double-decker buses? A rarity in North America, the buses were launched in 2000 by BC Transit, not just as a nod to the city’s British heritage but also as a Seek out the mystery at Craigdarroch Castle. way to boost capacity on long-distance runs.

THE BIG WINNER One name you’ll hear a lot in Victoria is Francis Rattenbury. The young British MARK VUKOBRAT immigrant was just 25 years old when he won a contest to design British Columbia’s new parliament buildings in 1892. Rattenbury went on to design many city landmarks, including the Empress Hotel, now the Fairmont Empress. Free tours of the Parliament Buildings reveal other such fascinating tidbits as the placement of the government and opposition benches. They’re two-and-a- half sword lengths apart, just in case a duel breaks out. 501 Belleville St., Victoria, 250-387-3046, leg.bc.ca/learn-about-us/visiting-the-legislature Parliament Buildings

THE SECRETS OF SMALL

MARK VUKOBRAT Emily Carr House & Garden was the childhood home of one of Canada’s best-loved artists and writers. Although it’s both a National and a Provincial Historic Site, this pretty Italianate villa is also a family home. Jan and Michael Ross, the resident curator and site manager respectively, have lived upstairs at the property for more than 20 years, raising two daughters there. Jan Ross reveals that, lacking photos, restorers used Emily Carr’s own journals and her autobiographical The Book of Small for such details as the colour of the wallpaper and the ﬂ owers grown in the garden. One key di¨ erence? Works of current-day local artists hang in the dining room, which doubled as Carr’s studio. “Emily dreamed of opening a People’s Gallery one day, so, in light of that, we exhibit local works here,” says Ross. Emily Carr is buried in Ross Bay Cemetery; tours are available at Emily Carr used the dining room in the cemetery. her childhood home as her studio. 207 Government St., Victoria, 250-383-5843, emilycarr.com
