Climb aboard two Transit Museum Society (TRAMS) historic buses for an exclusive guided tour of Heritage Vancouver’s 2012 Top Ten Endangered sites. Be the first to know what sites are on the Top Ten this year. Heritage Vancouver will be announcing the Top Ten Endangered Sites right before the bus tour departs.
Tour guides Donald Luxton, well-known author and heritage expert and the President of Heritage Vancouver, and Anthony Norfolk, head of our Advocacy Group, will both fascinate you with their stories of this year’s endangered sites.
The buses will stop at selected sites and you will have the opportunity to explore these sites in detail and have a conversation with community members.
Purchase your tickets early as this popular, award-winning tour always sells out.
Tickets ($30/$25)
