Her history
Join three historians for a walking tour of Vancouver's gravesites to discover what a Titanic survivor, a murdered nurse and an adventurous Gastown school teacher have in common. Herstory Café presents Crinolines, Crimes and Courage, a two-hour tour of pioneering women now buried at Mountain View Cemetery from 1 to 3 p.m. June 26. Tickets are $10 with proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Vancouver City Archives. Lorraine Irving, the president of the B.C. Genealogical Society, is joined by Diane Rogers of the Women's History Network of B.C. and the founder of the Herstory Café, Jolene Cumming. For more information, visit herstorycafe.ca.
