Halloween Activities

Ghost Bus Tours

Join the Old Cemeteries Society this Halloween for their Ghost Tours!  This tour showcases Victoria’s spooky past, taking people on a 2-hour excursion through Victoria’s haunted neighbourhoods.  The tour changes every year, so previous participants need not worry about hearing the same stories.  All proceeds go to assist ongoing preservation and education projects conducted by the Old Cemeteries Society.
