The Craigflower Manor and Craigflower Schoolhouse are National Historic Sites of Canada located in View Royal, British Columbia (the Manor) and Saanich (the Schoolhouse) near Victoria. The centerpiece of each historic site is a 19th-century building — a manor and schoolhouse commissioned by the Hudson's Bay Company to provide education and lodging for their employees in the agricultural community of Craigflower Farm. The two buildings are sited on the water, 200 metres apart, on either side of the Gorge Waterway, now spanned here by the Craigflower Bridge. The buildings have served as a focal point for the community into the modern era; they remain open to the public today as museums devoted to the colonial history of Victoria. (Full article...)

Poutine is a dish of French fries and cheese curds topped with a hot brown beef and chicken stock gravy. It emerged in the Centre-du-Québec region of Quebec in the late 1950s, though its exact origins are uncertain, and there are several competing claims regarding its origin.
