Things to do in British Columbia

Royal BC Museum
The Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, British Columbia is a marvelous natural history and human history museum that had been founded in 1886, with its title of Royal being bestowed on it by the Queen in 1987, that would coincide with a Royal tour that was traveling through the nation that year. The museum would merge with the British Columbia Provincial Archives in 2003, so that now it has three permanent galleries and a fabulous IMAX theater that shows educational films and other commercial entertainment like the Spiderman movies, Inception and other types of films. The museum welcomes many touring exhibits from around the world each year, and in recent ones included exhibits on the RMS Titanic, Genghis Khan, Egyptian relics and Leonardo da Vinci. In their fabulous natural history collections, there are 750,000 records of specimens that have been discovered mostly in British Columbia and neighboring states, provinces or territories. These awesome collections have been divided into eight disciplines that include; mammals, paleontology, botany, invertebrate zoology, entomology, ichthyology, herpetology and ornithology, with some examples of algae and bryophytes. It is located in the Inner Harbor area, between the Empress Hotel and the legislature buildings, and it anchors the Royal BC museum cultural precinct, the area that encompasses it with many monuments and historical sites that includes Thunderbird Park. The natural history gallery that is located on the second floor houses life-sized exhibits of the diverse geography of the province and prehistoric life that includes a woolly mammoth and an exciting simulated journey into the depths of the ocean. The modern history gallery is located on the third floor and starts visitors off with Century Hall, that showcases collections of relics from the 20th century. You then go into a copy of a cobblestone streetscape that represents early 20th century Victoria that has a hotel, silent movie theater, Chinatown, a train station and old automobiles. The tour then begins an exhibit of early forestry, fishing and mining businesses that also include a real mine shaft and water wheel. It then begins a history of exploration that includes a model of the original Fort Victoria and a big scale copy of Captain George Vancouver's ship, the HMS Discovery. The First People's gallery is housed on the third floor and is a fabulous First Nations display with a marvelous collection of masks, totem poles, a Kwakwaka'akw longhouse constructed by Henry Hunt and his grandsons, Tony and Richard.

Emily Carr House Victoria
The Emily Carr House in Victoria, British Columbia has become a national historic site that was once the childhood home of Canadian painter Emily Carr, and would give her and her marvelous works a lasting impression. The house was constructed in 1863 for the wealthy Carr family, although it had originally been located on Carr Street, on a big parcel of land that had been owed by Emily's dad, Richard. It had been designed as an Italianate style, right in the heart of the Victoria 19th century district, along with many other outstanding houses and mansions. Even today, it continues to be an excellent example of a well preserved heritage example of an Italianate villa style house that was very popular at the time. But, the main reason the house would become such a marvelous heritage property because of Emily's works and fame. She would live in the house for the main part of her youth, only leaving to go to school in London, Paris and San Francisco, and when her dad passed on in 1888, the estate would be left to her older sister, Edith Carr, that would divide the parcel up into lots that would be sold off, with the Carr sisters keeping five of those. In 1913, when Emily returned, she would construct a house next to her sister's, and would be part of her book, The House of All Sorts, that is still surviving today, and contains a fabulous mural that Emily painted on the attic roof in the style of the First Nations. The marvelous house would be passed along the family lines for some years more, and then be sold off to a private owner that would use it for a rental property. In 1938, a fire would ravage the house, and then it would be completely rebuilt using modern amenities and methods. MP David Groos would stop the structure from being demolished and give it to the Emily Carr Foundation three years later in 1967, when it would become an art gallery and school called the Emily Carr Arts Center, until the government purchased it in 1976 and assisted in returning the structure to its original condition. Today, it is a most inspiring interpretive center, for Emily's writings, art and life.

Westminster Abbey Mission
Westminster Abbey in Mission, British Columbia, is a community of monks from the Benedictine Order, established in 1939, from the Abbey of Mount Angel, Oregon, and is home to the Seminary of Christ the King; with its official name as the Abbey of Saint Joseph of Westminster, which is the abbey's patron saint. The seminary would be founded in 1931, by the Archbishop William Mark Duke of the Archdiocese of Vancouver, with five monks, that would include Fr. Eugene Medved, the late Prior and Abbot, who would be sent from Oregon to found a new priory and assume the operation of the Seminary of Christ the King, that had been located in Ladner, BC in 1939. The next year, the monks would move the new priory and the seminary to Burnaby, near Vancouver, which would become a conventual or independent priory in 1948, and in 1953, the Holy See would raise it to the status of an abbey. Prior Eugene would become the first abbot, and construction would start that year on a new abbey, seminary and church that would be designed by Norwegian architect, Asbjorn Gathe. Today, there are about thirty monks living there under the motto of their order, Ora et Labora or Pray and work. The abbey has its own artist, along with a high school and college, and the farm that supplies most of the needs of the monks.

Craigdarroch Castle
The Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, British Columbia is a magnificent historic Victorian period chateauesque mansion with 39 rooms and more than 20,000 square feet of space, built in the 1890s for the family residence of rich coal magnate, Robert Dunsmuir and his wife, Joan. Robert passed on in 1889, over a year before the fabulous castle could be finished, with his sons, James and Alexander, assuming the role of completing the monstrous mansion after his passing. The original architect, Warren Williams, would also pass on before the home was completed, and the next architect to complete the project would be his associate, Arthur L. Smith. In 1890, James Dunsmuir would contract the city's second castle, Hatley, that would be constructed in Colwood, BC. Craigdarroch is thought to have been constructed for half a million dollars back then, and would include granite from British Columbia, an oak staircase from Chicago and tile from San Francisco. It would occupy some 27 acres, with formal gardens in the city's exclusive Rockland neighborhood. After Joan passed on, the estate would be sold to speculator Griffith Hughes for $38,000, who would then subdivide the lots and to help stimulate the sales, the owner decided to raffle off the castle, that would be won by one of the buyers of the residential lots taken from the original estate. The winner would be Solomon Cameron, that would mortgage the castle to help finance some of his other ventures that eventually went bankrupt and in 1919, the castle would pass on to one of the creditors, the Bank of Montreal. The four story castle still houses fabulous furnishings from the 1890s and is famous for its exquisite woodworks and stained glass windows that welcomes more than 150,000 visitors a year.
