B.C. Is Wonderful
For Ontario Visitors
(Continued from Page Qne)
—truly a beautiful city. And no
interesting are its surroundings,
corted by a brother-in-law who is a
native of Victoria, we visited virtually
all the points of interest during our
Week in the capital.
Various trips, to the mountain from
Which the observatory overlooks the
city, and to the peaks of Mt. Douglas
and Mt. Tolmie, were followed by a
most interesting afternoon at Royal
Roads, now a tri-service college and
originally built as a private estate
by a Victoria’s Dunsmuir family. An
entire day was spent on a trip north
ward on Vancouver Island to Cathed
ral Grove, where the Douglas firs
grow more than 200 feet high and
ten feet in diameter (containing
enough lumber for several homes in
one tree).
The B.C. government has launched
a program of highway improvement

and public park sites which could be
.envied by every other local govern
ment. One of the finest of these is
located at Little Qualicum Falls, 140
miles north of Victoria. Full picnic
facilities, as well as prepared sites
for tenting, including running water
and garbage collection are offered,
and the whole is set in a scene of
such striking beauty that the visitor
can scarcely resist the temptation
to remain, The park is bisected by
a river which pours through a narrow
gorge, with two major waterfalls and
bordered by the eternal green of the
forest. A second and similar park
is located farther south at English
man’s River, where the stream pours
over a sheer ledge into a passage
through the rocks not more than two
or three feet wide.
Visits to one of the province’s larg
est lumber and plywood mills, to
the Victoria newspaper offices (for
a busman’s holiday) and to the flow
ered faii-yland at Beacon Hill Park
rounded out a visit which, though too
hurried, was indeed memorable.
Surprise Visit Enjoyed
To provide the perfect finale for
our visit we were treated to one of
the most pleasant of surprises. On
the point of making a purchase at
the news stand in the Vancouver
station before our departure for home
we looked casually at another cus
tomer to find ourselves staring at Roy
Bonner, who, until a year ago resid
ed with his wife and family in Wing
ham. It is questionable who was more
surprised—but the outcome was a
grand visit on the train until mid
night. The Bonners now live at
Armstrong, in the upper Okanagan
valley and are very happy in their
new location, where Roy is manager
for Buckerfield’s Ltd., a big farm
supply concern.
He told us of their pleasure when
they were visited this summer by Ian
Hetherington of Wingham during his
period of duty with the Army at
Banff. His interested questions about
dozens of friends here kept us busy—
and we promised to bring home greet
ings from the Bonners in B.C.

The band was out in full force as
you probably heard and are sounding
better, every night. We hope to have
them out for the next big parade in
town soon. Sgt “Harry" Newell said he
would see how the band shapes up, I
think they are in great shape for the
shape they are in.
