Get Out of Town, Saturday July 14th  9 am–3 pm, $100+hst

This year we're off to Stave Lake Powerhouse!

Built in 1909 and decommissioned in 2000, the powerhouse at Stave Lake became a National Historic Site in 2004. It makes for a fascinating visit not only to witness first hand our industrial heritage on a grand scale, but also to learn about how BC Electric and its newer incarnation BC Hydro began to build the province through power generation a century ago.  Join tour guide John Atkin on an absorbing journey to the historic Stave Lake Powerhouse; including side trips and lunch.

Heritage conservation education, public awareness and fundraising are three key goals of the Vancouver Heritage Foundation. Through public events such as the Heritage House Tour the Foundation creates opportunities for the public to learn about resources, techniques and issues in heritage conservation in Vancouver.

The Foundation also takes on special projects that create awareness and fundraising prospects such as the donation, restoration and sale of the Leslie Lane House and the restoration of the Sister of Mercy terracotta figures that have been mounted on a research building at UBC.

Special events and projects will continue to be part of the menu of activities of the Vancouver Heritage Foundation. Through our website and our newsletter we will endeavour to keep you informed of what we are up to.

If you have any questions or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us at mail@vancouverheritagefoundation.org.
