Marilyn Jones, a James Bay resident, leads walks, talks, and tours celebrating Emily Carr and her lifelong connection to Victoria, where Carr was born, lived, worked, and is now remembered. She is co-presenter of the annual 8 Remarkable Women Resting in Ross Bay Cemetery event held on International Women’s Day on March 8, where she presents Carr’s stories at her gravesite and those of three other remarkable women artists also buried there. More recently, she founded and is the producer of the Jane’s Walk James Bay Festival, leads the “Emily Carr’s James Bay” walking tour at the festival and publishes the Emily Carr Chronicles website, blog, and monthly newsletter.

Testimonials

"We can't thank Marilyn enough for bringing her inspiring presentation on Emily Carr to Beckley Farm Lodge, and for teaching us about the artist’s dynamic relationship our nation-wide history. Marilyn’s energetic and detail oriented talk was an absolute hit with our residents. We were thankful for the ways she adapted her presentation to fit the complex needs of attending members, who are experiencing varying levels of the aging process. Marilyn’s pace allowed our residents an opportunity to connect with the information meaningfully and with joy."

Lyndsay McKay

Program Leader, Beckley Farm Lodge

"Marilyn at Emily Carr Chronicles was excellent to deal with in booking a private tour and also as our informative & fun tour guide. I organize Heritage tours for the Newcomer's Club of Greater Victoria and I was able to fill up two walking tours of 15 each. There was huge interest and positive feedback from the club members. I don't hesitate to recommend Marilyn. She brought Emily Carr back to life and was a joy to work with."

Kim McVeigh

Newcomer's Club of Greater Victoria

"Excellent knowledge and information. Thank you Marilyn. The bus tour was so great. I really appreciated you sending some of her short stories that related to many of the locations we visited in advance of the tour. They made her life come alive for me."

Joanne Stevenson

Emily Carr Bus Tour Participant

"Marilyn presented with depth and clarity about a topic that encompasses many aspects of Carr’s life and career. Her style is engaging and thought-provoking, and I felt energized by the interactive nature of her talk. I was particularly interested in the expressive and adventurous nature of the subject matter. Marilyn’s knowledge of the repertoire is impressive and it lead to a conversation between participants that was fascinating, informative, and fun."

Anne Stewart

Student, Elder College, VIU

"Many thanks again for the great tour yesterday, despite the rain. Lillian and I enjoyed hearing everyone's perspective on Emily, especially Jaqueline's knowledge of the House of All Sorts. Lillian and I were the only ones who arrived at noon to at the Carr House so we got a private tour. We found it very beneficial to have gone on your Emily Carr walk first."

Nancy Walden

Emily Carr Walk Participant

"Last year, Marilyn Jones gave a captivating presentation on Emily Carr at The Glenshiel, and our residents were absolutely enthralled. Her engaging storytelling and deep knowledge brought Emily Carr’s life and art vividly to life. The feedback from our residents was overwhelmingly positive—they talked about it for weeks! It was such a memorable experience that we didn’t hesitate to book Marilyn again, this time for her famous Emily Carr Bus Tour. We’re thrilled to be taking our residents on this unique adventure in July aboard our own passenger bus. We can’t wait to see history come alive once more!"
