In this episode, we discuss a 1960’s plan from a Vancouver company to build a Medieval Amusement Park in Saanich Gorge Park essentially turning it into Sherwood Forest. The proposal included a castle, a torture chamber, a dungeon, and Robin Hood figurines scattered throughout the facility. It also wanted to create two Viking longboats that would transport people from the inner harbor, up the Gorge, to the park. We sat down with local Author Dorothy Mindenhall to discuss the plan and learn why it never happened (We discuss the plan beginning at the 7:54 mark).
