Join VHF and John Atkin, civic historian, for a full day of exploring the stories of Places That Matter in the heart of downtown Vancouver. From šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square to the Roundhouse Community Centre, we’ll explore cultural landscapes, place names, everyday heritage while expanding the narrative on the city’s early people, places and events. Along with a full day of walking tours with a variety of stops, you will be workshopping a “Places that Matter mapping activity” and learn more about the Places That Matter Study Guide. We hope you’ll join us and share your experiences with place-based, local explorations and school community and neighborhood connections.
