Shining a light on Johnston Avenue for this newsletter with a bit about John “Scoop” Johnston (1852-1921) as well as activities on the street bearing his name.
Looks like local historian Dorothy Isabelle Stubbs (1905-2003) was hard pressed to find much about the man for this article that appeared in the April 8th, 1970 edition of the Comox District Free Press.
The Scoop Johnston House was honoured with a City of Courtenay Heritage Commemoration in 2003. Click Here to learn more.
