Diary of Rev Ebenezer Robson

A page from the diary of Reverend Ebenezer Robson describing his opening and dedication of the Burgoyne Union Church at Burgoyne Bay, Salt Spring Island. He visited the school and several houses in the area, dined at Mr Lee’s and drank tea at Mr Horel’s, who was the builder of the church.

Next morning he rode horseback to Beaver Point and “was rowed out to SS Rainbow’, which was along in good time.”
