Curious About ... Victoria, British Columbia

Who is “Gassy” Jack & why is the historic district named after him? Who was “A.B.C. Architect” and why did he design such a grand Parliament Building in Victoria? Why isn’t there a sign above the main entrance to The Empress Hotel? And why is High Tea such a big deal here? How did an 11th and 12th century French, Spanish & Italian Romanesque-style castle, built for a Scottish self-made millionaire, become ‘Canada’s Castle’? And how did a turn-of-the- 20th century female chemist turn a quarry into one of the most famous gardens in the world?
