West Vancouver Historical Society – Connecting You to Our History

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and following local government guidance, WVHS events scheduled for the next few months (including WVHS Speaker Series, Local Voices and WVHS AGM) have been cancelled. Thank you for your continuing interest in the history of West Vancouver and support for the WVHS. We will keep you informed of new dates for our events in due course – stay tuned! In the meantime, WVHS wishes all of you good health.

Looking for something to do while at home due to the corona virus situation? Buff up your knowledge of West Vancouver history.

Point Atkinson gets a new display on-site and much needed repairs! As part of its mandate to provide and maintain interpretive information on the importance of Point Atkinson, WVHS has installed a display inside the former Power House. Point Atkinson’s wharf mid-section was unfortunately completely demolished in a dramatic storm on Dec. 20, 2018. WVHS is pleased that the wharf will finally undergo some repairs.
