West Vancouver Historical Society – Connecting You to Our History

Next Event – February 5, 2020. Local Voices returns with "Shooting the North Shore", a presentation by North Shore based photographers Mike Wakefield (North Shore News photographer) and Ralph Bower (retired Vancouver Sun photographer) on the stories behind their photos. This promises to be a fascinating journey through history. Produced in partnership with the West Vancouver Memorial Library, Local Voices explores our community in the words and experience of the people who live here.

People and Places. Our heritage and history come to life through our people and places. On our website in our History section under People and Places, you will find stories and memories of the people of our community and the homes, buildings and gardens they created. And, if you missed a Local Voices event, check our People and Places page where we will be posting links to the event videos hosted on YouTube.

The West Vancouver Historical Society is producing a series of display boards about West Vancouver’s history. The first board is at John Lawson Park kiosk, informing the passing public about Lawson, a founder of our community. Visit the park and learn more about Lawson or check out the display board here.
