Vancouver's "Francophone Village" – Saturday, September 30
Until the late 1970s, French-Canadians found homes and jobs in a French quarter centered around Saint-Sacrement Church on Heather St. near W 16th Ave. On this walk, we will cover this area to retrace its formative period and the political and religious forces that propelled its establishment, as well as its disappearance.
**Following the walking tour you are invited to join us for Places That Matter plaque presentation for The Francophone Village/Le Village Francophone. More details here.
False Creek South – Friday, October 20
Since the 2010 Olympics, development in False Creek South has never stopped. From West 2nd to West 6th Avenue, the terrain is now unrecognizable. Condos reign supreme, with the odd precious heritage building now preserved in a transformed community role. We'll find these gems and also pay homage to some of our lost ones along the way.
*Please note that the two remaining walking tours are at capacity. To be added to the waitlist email or phone 604-264-9642.
All walking tours are Saturdays from 10am to 12pm
