South Pender Pioneer Families - Volume 6 with Debbie Friesen recounting the Walker family story

This series is dedicated to learning about the unique and important history of South Pender Pioneer families and their connection to S,DÁYES (South Pender Island) and the surrounding Salish Sea.

Debbie Friesen, the daughter of William Walker, will tell the story of how her grandfather and his brother, bought property on South Pender and built a cabin over a hundred years ago. She will share stories about her experiences as a child visiting the island with her parents, and explain how her time on the island, help to foster a special connection to Pender. That, and so much more.

This interview has been made possible with funding from: the Capital Regional District, the Pender Island Community Resource Centre, the W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Council/W̱SÁNEĆ School Board, the Pender Islands Museum, and the South Pender Historical Society.
