Join the Vancouver Heritage Foundation this Saturday September 22nd at 1pm as we present the Jericho Arts Centre with a Places That Matter plaque during a reception from 12-2pm at the Jericho Arts Centre 1675 Discovery St. All are welcome to attend. Cake and refreshments will be served. Join us in celebrating this diverse site with its origins as the RCAF recreation hall!
The Places That Matter project evolved from the Vancouver 125th Anniversary celebrations when the VHF asked the public to nominate a place, person, or event that is important to Vancouver but that has yet to receive the acknowledgement that it deserves. After public voting and site selection committee meetings, the final sites were chosen. We’ve been presenting plaques at community celebrations throughout Vancouver ever since. No two sites are the same and every plaque celebration has been unique.
