 Steveston Walking Tour

Last week, while strolling past Steveston's Museum, I noticed a sign posted on the window announcing the return of the Steveston Walking Tours. What a wonderful surprise!

Back in August 2019, (yes, that happy pre-pandemic time), I and a friend signed up for the Steveston Alive! Walking Tour Vignettes. Presented by Steveston Historical Society, and interpreted by McRoberts Secondary School drama students, this one hour guided tour provided a travel back in time to 1917 with a play in five parts that promoted understanding and appreciation of the evolution of the Steveston community.

If only all history lessons could be this personal, colourful and entertaining!

 Cherry blossoms in Minoru Park

Did you know that Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, offers pockets of beautiful spots that simply take your breath away?

Although not part of Steveston, the Minoru Chapel is one such gem.

Tucked away in a neighborhood park - it is a beautiful structure in a lush setting.

Now imagine it with cherry blossom petals drifting in the sweet spring air and you will know that it is a must see place!
