About The Podcast
The Westshore History Podcast is an exploration into the history of Langford, Colwood, Metchosin and the Highlands, located just outside of the City of Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada.
​
​These are the stories you 'want to know,' not the ones you 'had to know' in history class. This podcast lets you explore the rich and sometimes mirky past of the Westshore. Pioneers, First Nations, Gold, Farms, Waterways, Murders, the E&N, Tragic Accidents, Magnificent Forests, Early Industries - there's so much to discover!

My background includes majoring in Canadian History, specifically British Columbia history at the University of Victoria. I have also been a teacher of history in Northern BC, and written several self-published books, that are available through lulu.com
​
​I have always had an interest in the history of the places I have lived. The Westshore is not the exception. Its rich history has drawn me in like a moth to a flame. I would like to share my research with others, through this podcast.
I hope you enjoy, and discover something about the Westshore that you never knew.
