*Stirring Up Ghosts* – *Creating Partnerships in Arts, History & Heritage*

I've been writing songs about Pacific Canadian History for nearly 30 years
now. In that time, I’ve created study guides, performed at hundreds of
schools, dozens upon dozens of festivals. I’ve collected and created a
substantial amount of related media.

I’ve recently compiled that content on a new website:
https://stirringupghosts.ca/

I am now reaching out to BC Museums and Heritage sites whose collections
(whether exhibits or virtual displays) connect with each song and add depth
to each story. A perfect example is the chapter on Robbie McBeath (
https://stirringupghosts.ca/robbie-mcbeath) with content shared by the
Vancouver Police Museum.
