West Vancouver Historical Society – Connecting You to Our History

June 17, 2020, 7 pm. Local Voices (Virtual) is back! Join us on-line for Local Voices: Heritage and Neighbourhood Character. As we spend more time at home, the character of our neighbourhoods is more important than ever. Our participants: Jackie Swanson on revitalizing the cabin community on Hollyburn Ridge, Tom Dodd on preserving neighbourhood character in the municipality, John Mawson on Cianci House in the Dogwood Hill neighbourhood, and Tony Dean & Yvonne Perrault on the relocation of Copper Cottage. We will keep you informed of new dates for our other events in due course as we pivot to more virtual events.

Looking for something to do while at home due to the corona virus situation? Buff up your knowledge of West Vancouver history. Be entertained by watching the videos of the Local Voices or WVHS Speaker lectures that you missed. Or, if you attended, you just might want to listen to them again. Follow the ‘read more’ link below to find the link to our YouTube Channel. Alternatively, search "West Vancouver Historical Society on YouTube" with your favourite search engine. We also have profiles of a number of interesting people of West Vancouver on our website. Check them out.

WVHS pays tribute to North Shore resident, Mr. Michael Smith, 90, well known teacher, rugby coach, history and music lover, who sadly passed away on April 2, 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. Our sincere condolences to the Smith family. Mike and his wife Nancy were strong supporters of WVHS and many WVHS members have fond recollections of Mike and his influence on the lives of so many.
