Great Story Telling - Our guide Chris was a great story teller of Victoria's past as he led us through the streets of downtown Victoria stopping to show and explain to us historic markers of the past. I particularly liked the acknowledgement and inclusion of Canada's First Nations peoples in Canada's history. Thank you.
