FORT LIFE HBC



W
elcome to Fort Victoria! It's the year 1863. You've just spent a lovely summer day on the S.S. Beaver, moving your posessions to Fort Victoria to set up shop as a merchant. You've heard you can make a lot of money selling supplies to the gold miners coming through the fort - perhaps you can even exchange a few stories along the way.

In this Schoolnet Web Site, you'll learn about Life around the Fort; the People who built the Fort and made it a success; some of the Games the children played there; a kind Doctor who brought British Columbia into Canada's confederation; you'll even see how the fort has changed in our Then & Now section.

So unpack your things, and let's get started!
