SUMMARY:Emily Carr Chronicles Guided Walking Tour | October 24
DESCRIPTION:Step Into the World of Emily Carr: A Guided Walking Tour Through Her Life in James Bay\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the vibrant life and legacy of one of Canada’s most iconic artists on this unforgettable 2-hour walking tour through historic James Bay\, Victoria — the neighborhood where Emily Carr was born\, lived\, worked\, painted\, wrote about and was laid to rest. If you love art\, local history\, or storytelling\, this is a journey designed just for you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy join us?\n\n\n\nBecause few artists are as intimately tied to a place as Emily Carr is to Victoria. As we walk the very streets she roamed\, you’ll uncover the deep roots that shaped her visionary artwork and bold spirit. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect: A Walk Through History\n\n\n\nWe’ll visit 12 historic sites\, each offering a window into a different chapter of Carr’s extraordinary life — from her childhood home to the places she sketched\, taught\, built\, and wrote about. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur journey begins at 2:00 PM with a warm welcome and introductions at For Good Measure’s outdoor covered patio. Just a block away is Carr House\, a beautifully preserved National Heritage Site\, Emily’s family home. The tour starts with a short walk to the Carr House and ends there\, too. \n\n\n\n\n\nAs we stroll the quiet streets of James Bay\, you’ll also discover the homes of Emily’s sisters\, whose lives and enduring presence profoundly influenced her emotional and creative world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStand where Emily stood — at the site of the quirky apartment house she designed and managed. This was more than a building; it was a sanctuary of stories\, later immortalized in her bestselling book The House of All Sorts. \n\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a peaceful walk through one of Emily’s favorite sketching spots and cross the stone footbridge built in her honour\, tucked beneath whispering trees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the elegant Helmcken House to the grand Crystal Garden\, where Carr gave her famous 1930 “Fresh Seeing” speech (monkey sidekick Woo included!)\, you’ll hear tales of triumph\, struggle\, and artistic rebellion. \nAfter a brief rest at the Museum Plaza\, we’ll make our way to the church that she attended throughout her life\, followed by a shot walk to the Emily Carr Statue in front of the iconic Empress Hotel. There\, you’ll learn the fascinating story behind its creation — and why this tribute captures more than just her likeness. And\, you’ll hear why this statue is not the first Emily Carr Statue and about the famous sculptor from Saskatchewan that created the first. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the statue\, we’ll stroll three blocks to the site of her father’s former storefront\, a cornerstone of Emily’s childhood and early memories that she writes about. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur final stop takes us to the building where Emily Carr spent her final days — a place steeped in history and still touched by her lingering presence in more ways than one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a lifelong fan of Emily Carr or new to her story\, this tour brings her world vividly to life. \n\n\n\n\nReady to walk in Emily’s footsteps?\n\n\n\nJoin us for a journey through the heart of Victoria — and the soul of a remarkable woman whose legacy still paints the West Coast with bold color and spirit. \n\n\n\nLimited to 10 participants — reserve your spot today!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsign me up\n\n\n\n\nprefer to e-transfer \n\n\n\n\nplease contact me

SUMMARY:Emily Carr Chronicles Guided Walking Tour | November 21
DESCRIPTION:Step Into the World of Emily Carr: A Guided Walking Tour Through Her Life in James Bay\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the vibrant life and legacy of one of Canada’s most iconic artists on this unforgettable 2-hour walking tour through historic James Bay\, Victoria — the neighborhood where Emily Carr was born\, lived\, worked\, painted\, wrote about and was laid to rest. If you love art\, local history\, or storytelling\, this is a journey designed just for you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy join us?\n\n\n\nBecause few artists are as intimately tied to a place as Emily Carr is to Victoria. As we walk the very streets she roamed\, you’ll uncover the deep roots that shaped her visionary artwork and bold spirit. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect: A Walk Through History\n\n\n\nWe’ll visit 12 historic sites\, each offering a window into a different chapter of Carr’s extraordinary life — from her childhood home to the places she sketched\, taught\, built\, and wrote about. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur journey begins at 2:00 PM with a warm welcome and introductions at For Good Measure’s outdoor covered patio. Just a block away is Carr House\, a beautifully preserved National Heritage Site\, Emily’s family home. The tour starts with a short walk to the Carr House and ends there\, too. \n\n\n\n\n\nAs we stroll the quiet streets of James Bay\, you’ll also discover the homes of Emily’s sisters\, whose lives and enduring presence profoundly influenced her emotional and creative world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStand where Emily stood — at the site of the quirky apartment house she designed and managed. This was more than a building; it was a sanctuary of stories\, later immortalized in her bestselling book The House of All Sorts. \n\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy a peaceful walk through one of Emily’s favorite sketching spots and cross the stone footbridge built in her honour\, tucked beneath whispering trees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the elegant Helmcken House to the grand Crystal Garden\, where Carr gave her famous 1930 “Fresh Seeing” speech (monkey sidekick Woo included!)\, you’ll hear tales of triumph\, struggle\, and artistic rebellion. \nAfter a brief rest at the Museum Plaza\, we’ll make our way to the church that she attended throughout her life\, followed by a shot walk to the Emily Carr Statue in front of the iconic Empress Hotel. There\, you’ll learn the fascinating story behind its creation — and why this tribute captures more than just her likeness. And\, you’ll hear why this statue is not the first Emily Carr Statue and about the famous sculptor from Saskatchewan that created the first. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the statue\, we’ll stroll three blocks to the site of her father’s former storefront\, a cornerstone of Emily’s childhood and early memories that she writes about. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur final stop takes us to the building where Emily Carr spent her final days — a place steeped in history and still touched by her lingering presence in more ways than one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a lifelong fan of Emily Carr or new to her story\, this tour brings her world vividly to life. \n\n\n\n\nReady to walk in Emily’s footsteps?\n\n\n\nJoin us for a journey through the heart of Victoria — and the soul of a remarkable woman whose legacy still paints the West Coast with bold color and spirit. \n\n\n\nLimited to 10 participants — reserve your spot today!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsign me up\n\n\n\n\nprefer to e-transfer \n\n\n\n\nplease contact me

As we walk the streets she once knew\, we’ll explore 12 historic locations and uncover the stories behind the homes\, buildings and landscapes that shaped her remarkable life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalk Through Emily Carr’s World\n\n\n\nJoin the publisher of Emily Carr Chronicles for a guided walking tour in and around historic James Bay\, the neighbourhood where one of Canada’s most celebrated artists was born\, lived\, painted\, wrote about and was laid to rest. Over approximately 2.5 km (with a rest stop at the halfway point)\, we’ll visit places connected with her family\, her sisters\, her friends and her teaching career. We’ll also discover the stories behind buildings associated with her life and the literary achievements that made her a bestselling author. \n\n\n\nIn Beacon Hill Park\, we’ll pause beneath the trees at the stone footbridge built in her honour and hear the story of its creation. From the elegant Helmcken House to the grand Crystal Garden\, where Carr gave her famous 1930 “Fresh Seeing” speech (monkey sidekick Woo included!)\, you’ll hear tales of Emily’s triumph\, struggle\, and artistic rebellion. \n\n\n\nWe’ll take a rest stop at the Royal  BC Museum cafe at the halfway point of the tour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter our rest stop / washroom visit at Royal BC Museum Plaza\, we’ll visit the church she attended\, then discover the fascinating history behind her statue in front of the Empress Hotel. Crossing the causeway to Victoria’s Inner Harbour\, we’ll visit her father’s former store on Wharf Street\, which later became the location of the first Emily Carr Gallery in the 1970s. \n\n\n\nOur final stop before returning to our starting point is where Carr spent her final days—a place that continues to intrigue visitors\, with some people even suggesting it has a ghostly presence. \n\n\n\nMore Than a Walking Tour\n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity to see Emily Carr in a new light. Through historical research\, personal discoveries and stories you won’t find in any guidebook\, your guide brings the artist’s world to life in the very places where her story unfolded. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a lifelong admirer of Carr or just beginning to discover her\, come explore the Victoria she knew and see how the places around us illuminate the artist behind the paintings and the books. \n\n\n\nCome walk in Emily Carr’s footsteps! \n\n\n\nWalk Notes:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe walk meetup location is at For Good Measure at 579 Niagara Street\, one block away from our first stop.
