From June 14th – July 2, stories written by local youth will be displayed in store windows throughout Victoria, BC. A single page from every story is available to read in a different window. To read an entire story you have to visit several different places, just like a scavenger hunt!

How can I follow the StoryPath?

Look in store windows for the posters with the Story Path logo. Thirty-six pages of stories are scattered in windows around downtown Victoria, with each page of the story on a different poster – and each poster indicates where the next page of a story will be found. 

To find the first pages for many stories, look in the windows of Central Branch library (735 Broughton St.) or Russell Books (747 Fort St.)

To see ALL the locations, explore the map at the top of this page.

So, why are we doing this?

Story Studio is an award-winning charity that exists to empower young writers – and one way to do this is by celebrating their work!

StoryPath showcases just a few of the amazing young writers who have participated in our programs over the past few years. In addition, this outdoor ‘scavenger hunt’ for stories promotes great things like literacy, outdoor physical activity, community involvement and parent engagement.

All of the stories were written by youth in programs we ran with our amazing community partners.

Does it cost anything to participate?

It’s free, thanks to generous donors, store owners and the support of community organisations like the Greater Victoria Public Library, Victoria Literacy Connection and the Victoria Literacy Task Group.

I heard there was a contest – can I win something? Is it a race? I’m very competitive!
