Did you know there are more than 50 Black Pioneers and/or their descendants at Ross Bay Cemetery? This is a guided tour of a few of their graves and others who were influential in the migration of Blacks to the British Colony. In the last couple of years, several graves have been restored through the work of our Society; and Victoria Pioneer Rifle Corp member gravesites have been restored by the Last Post Fund.
The tour hosts are BCBHAS Members, Door Gibson, Fran Morrison, and James Gatsi; and John Adams, Old Cemeteries Society member and owner-operator of “Discover the Past Walking Tours”, Victoria.
