Our next Grandview Heritage Group meeting is on Zoom, Thursday, June 18th. (We’ll be having all our meetings on Zoom until sometime in the future when we’ll be able to meet in person again!)
We will meet at 7:00 p.m. and will have our usual wide-ranging and open agenda, which this month will include:

• Introductions
• Double-hung windows – Eric with support from Steve
• Changes around the neighbourhood – Eric leads, but everyone participates
• Other business – Is there anything else heritage-related that you’d like to talk about?

Everyone is welcome. If you’d like to participate, please send an e-mail requesting the Zoom link to grandviewheritage@gmail.com! We’d love to see you!

Hi dear GHG people,

We won’t be having a Grandview Heritage Group meeting this month.

Many of our members are self-isolating.

Here’s hoping we collectively manage to “flatten the curve”.

We’ll let you know when we get back on track.

We’ve got a few good presentations lined up for once we get back together.

Be safe!

Hello,

As part of Heritage Week (February 17th – 23rd), we at Vancouver Heritage Foundation invite you to our third Places That Matter Community Celebration. Join VHF to hear stories about significant places in Vancouver from the people and organizations who brought their history forward.

The Places That Matter Community History Resource is an ongoing project that shares stories and information on the local, cultural and lesser-known history of Vancouver. To learn more about the project, visit the website: https://www.vancouverheritagefoundation.org/places-that-matter/

This free celebration includes displays related to Places That Matter sites and local history (6 pm – 7 pm), a “heritage week proclamation” and a short program of storytelling (7 pm – 8 pm). The event is free and open to the public, and takes place at Heritage Hall at 3102 Main Street from 6pm to 8:30pm on Wednesday, February 19th.

The event poster is attached with the full details. You are welcome to share and help us spread the word. For more information please email Jessica Quan, VHF’s Special Projects Manager at jessica@vancouverheritagefoundation.org or call 604 264 9642.
