Location: Meet at Barclay Heritage Square, in Vancouver’s West End
Time: Saturday, August 24, 10:00am-12:00pm
Admission: $15.00; Heritage Vancouver Members $10.00

Join Gordon Price, Director of the SFU City Program, for a planning tour of Vancouver’s West End. The West End reveals about eight different architectural stages, from fine wooden mansions to functional wooden walk-ups, not to mention more highrise towers than any other neighbourhood in Canada.

But how did it all come about – and why?
Gordon Price explains some of the planning theory and trends that shaped the West End – and some of the lessons to be learned.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and in case of rain bring your umbrella.
