The date

Trust us: Ross Bay Cemetery makes a surprisingly lovely, slightly delicious date. Collecting Victoria's stories since 1873, its 20,000 graves read like the city's history book, Emily Carr resting among coal barons and rogues beneath century-old trees. A resident herd of deer roams the gravel lanes with total indifference. Time it for late afternoon when the light turns golden and the deer emerge. All free.
