150 Years


A rare and intriguing look into the past 150 years of news reporting by the Times Colonist (originally the British Colonist).
As social studies teachers, our local history is often overlooked by larger world events. Today's newspaper is dedicated entirely to Victoria's past. Most of the articles are historical ones that report on local events and news that shaped our city. Personalities such as Amour de Cosmos and Emily Carr are discussed in detail, and there are even scans of original articles. Most importantly though, is Section D, which reminisces about the 1925 Stanley Cup Champions, The Victoria Cougars.
The pictures are fantastic, and each and every one of them truly tells a story.

The collaborative research done by the TC should really be appreciated and explored.
