The story of St. George’s Anglican Church began in 1859, when the Hudson Bay Company’s chaplain, the Reverend W.B. Crickmer, built a church at Derby, three miles west of the present town of #FortLangley, BC, and the original site of the Hudson Bay Company’s fort. #history #churches #BritishColumbia
Not all #tea is created equal - as I discover when doing some additional research on the subject when at Murchie’s Tea and Coffee Shop at Willowbrook Mall, Langley, BC. #teatime #teas #teastories
Emily Carr works now on display at Vancouver Art Gallery definitely give one reason to pause and reflect. Ask about gallery tours and annual membership. #vanarts #EmilyCarr
