We are looking forward to welcoming renowned BC historian Richard Mackie at Wentworth Villa tomorrow evening for a talk about his historic family home!

Mackie will explore the tenure, architecture, and inhabitants of a house on Tsehum Harbour in North Saanich known as Mahara Woodlands — Mahara being a Maori word meaning “memory” or “recollection.” The four owners include the daughter of an English baronet, a silent film actor, a decorated captain of the North Atlantic run, and an eminent zoologist. Mackie, who has made contact with all four families, shares their remarkable stories that were enacted, sometimes literally, on the stage of Mahara Woodlands.
