Canadian Yachting June 2021 - 18

A good place to begin learning about BC's present and past
history is at the Parliament Buildings. The impressive structure
opened in 1897 and cost a scandalous $923,882.30, including
the usual huge overruns. Historic art, a giant Indigenous canoe,
the commemorative stained-glass windows and a glimpse of
the Legislators' chamber are impressive. The gilded gentleman guarding the top of the dome is Capt. George Vancouver.
Parliament, known for its lighted outlines, was first illuminated
to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee on June 21, 1897.
Across the street, the Royal BC Museum is hosting an exhibit
on orcas this summer, the iconic marine mammals once hunted to
preserve fish stocks, now revered and endangered. Besides that
special exhibit, the Museum is home to marvelous collections of
First People's art and totems, dioramas of the Ice Age, BC's natural and human history, and realistic depictions of life in the 19th
and 20th centuries. Thunderbird Park, filled with brightly painted
totems, called a " Place of Cultural Sharing, " is located next to
the Museum. Also check to see if IMAX, part of the Museum,
has reopened.
The Empress Hotel is worth a visit even if you don't indulge
in the popular, but pricy high tea. Outside, a bronze Emily Carr
along with her dog and monkey and one of BC's iconic painters, greets people. Recently revamped, the hotel's tearoom and
Palm Room with its magnificent stained glass ceiling glow with
Edwardian elegance. Shops and an arcade lead to the Victoria
Conference Centre with some outstanding totems. The sleek
structural arches remind me of a Renaissance church.
After exiting the hotel's lobby, turn north and stroll up
