Come remember family and friends who went overseas to fight in the First and Second World Wars. Learn about Canada’s military past, the industries that supported it, and the essential roles of men and women on the homefront. Enjoy an autumn stroll, hear stories from local re-enactors, share your own stories and warm-up with a cup of hot beverage. Since the end of World War I and the Armistice declared at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, Canadians gather to remember the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women in the field of battle. They were our grand-parents, our parents, our sons and daughters, our neighbours, and our friends. Many soldiers who fought over the past decades were from Victoria. From 1878 to 1956, many of them worked and trained at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site. Many went off to fight during the Great War and World War II. Some returned, some didn’t.

We are a volunteer run toy library where parents, grandparents or caregivers can borrow a large variety of educational toys, games and new play materials on a regular basis, significantly contributing towards the development and education of your children. Quality toys are expensive and children quickly become bored with a toy once its play value has been exhausted. By joining the Toy Library you will be able to meet other parents and have access to a wider range of play experiences for your children. You will be able to increase your children’s interest and offer greater learning opportunities without the expense, clutter and environmental impact of buying more and more toys. Our current stock is for ages 6months-12 yrs of age.
