Ross Bay Villa Society<br />
After 15 years of restoration, two years of nail biting<br />
uncertainty and ten months of fundraising, the<br />
Board of the Ross Bay Villa Society announced that<br />
they have become the new and proud owners of the<br />
Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum. With the<br />
help of volunteers, members, donors, supporters<br />
and staff of The Land Conservancy of BC, the 150<br />
year legacy of Ross Bay Villa will be secure.<br />
Point Ellice House and Gardens<br />
To generate funds to support Point Ellice House<br />
and Gardens, The Point Ellice House Preservation<br />
Society developed two full-service dining areas in<br />
the Barn/Visitor’s Centre directed by Chef Michael<br />
Beatty. The bottom floor, O’Reillys’, opened May<br />
2015. The Loft, upstairs, opened November 2015, in<br />
time for Christmas bookings. Lunch, Cream Tea and<br />
Full Tea are available.<br />
