Sunday public walking tour
What it actually looks like
What the children do
A themed walking history tour open to anyone, every Sunday at 2 pm from mid February to mid December, with a different topic each week. Most are at Ross Bay Cemetery, where the group meets at the cemetery entrance on Fairfield Road opposite the south end of Stannard Street, and some are at other heritage cemeteries in Greater Victoria. No reservations are needed. It costs $5 for non members and $2 for members, paid by cash or e-transfer, and the tours last about an hour. Topics for 2026 range from the gold rush and nursing pioneers to a ghost tour in October and a Christmas tour in December.
Join whoever else has turned up, follow the guide around the cemetery for about an hour and stand and listen at each grave.
Good to know
