Patrick and Aimee will talk about the historical houses of ill-fame in Ladysmith, Nanaimo and Victoria.
Hardy said " those women employed in the world's oldest profession were part of an infamous slice of history, but history is history, be it pleasant or unpleasant to some citizens and we are very proud to have secured these two very qualified speakers, so please come along on April 21st to the lower program room in the Frank Jameson Centre. The meeting starts at 7.00pm sharp and we ask that you please arrive early enough for the meeting to start on time"
