September 8th, 2012: The Rockland Stroll
Victoria, BC, Canada - The Rockland Neighborhood Association invites everyone to come explore this historic area during the Rockland Stroll.  This fun and innovative neighborhood party celebrating the city's 150th anniversary will celebrate and showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Rockland Neighborhood.
The party will feature special events at each of the key Rockland landmarks:  Langham Court Theatre, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Craigdarroch Castle, and Government House along with support from the Victoria Vintage Car Club, The Hallmark Heritage Society and The City of Victoria 150.  The entire community is invited to attend and experience Rockland from a pedestrian perspective.  Guests will be encouraged to walk to each location for the various events, collecting stamps on their 'passport' to Rockland.  Visitors with a full passport will be eligible to enter a draw for prizes.
Highlights of the day will include:

*         Tradional Pole Raising Ceremony of Hosaqami, at Government House, 11AM

*         Light Refreshments at Goverment House Mews and Langham Court Theater
A wide variety of entertainment and activities for all ages will ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
"Although Rockland is a well-known neighborhood in the greater Victoria community, this knowledge is largely piecemeal or purely conceptual," explains Elisabeth Hazell, Manager of Operations and Development at Craigdarroch Castle.  "For example, someone who does not live in the neighborhood may have visited the Art Gallery or Government House, but they likely drove there and didn't walk around before or after.  It may come as a surprise to some that it is only a 7 minute walk from the Art Gallery to either Craigdarroch or Government House."
In conjunction with the Lieutenant Governor's initiatives to welcome visitors to Government House, the ceremonial home of all British Columbians, the Rockland Neighbourhood Association hopes that Victoria residents will discover (or rediscover) this beautiful neighbourhood that represents an important part of the city's history and culture.
