Sheguiandah Archaeological Tour: Sunday, August 20

We are pleased to share an exciting announcement for our BICA members — a private tour of the Sheguiandah Archaeological Site!

Although the Sheguiandah Archaeological Site — officially named the Sheguiandah National Historic Site — was only reopened to the public last season, it will be open again this coming season for a very limited number of tours. This is an incredible opportunity for BICA members to discover this historically significant area, right in our backyard!

Your board has chosen Sunday, August 20, from 11am-1pm, as our first date choice. Additional details:

• The size of the tour groups is limited to 12, to ensure the best experience for everyone and to protect the site.
• The price for the tour is $31.50 per person, but there is a 20% discount for groups of at least 10, which brings the cost down to $25.20 per person. We are certain we can get at least 10 people for this date. 
• If enough people are interested and we require a second tour date, August 16, 10am-12pm or 2pm – 4pm might also be available. 
• The tour of the site includes complimentary admission to  the Sheguiandah Centennial Museum, as well a field guide booklet (with additional information and photos) with a piece of quartzite flake (not sourced from the site) for all participants.
• Note: the tour requires trail-walking and is not “easy”. It’s not “hard” either, but be forewarned, there is uphill walking.

To reserve your place please let your BICA Social Director, Bobette Jones (bjstar@protonmail.com) know asap as there are very few reservations available. If the Aug. 20 date doesn’t work for you, please let her know which time slot works best on the alternative Aug. 16 date. All reservations are first-come-first served!
