Where is this – and why does it matter? Enough to be worthy of a plaque that says so.<\/p>\n

Okay, easy guess on the location: it’s the Vancouver Art Gallery. But that’s not why the Vancouver Heritage Foundation is here giving recognition at this event on December 16th.<\/p>\n

Within a few minutes, the Marcus Mosely Chorale will enter to sing \u201cA Gospel Christmas\u201d\u009d – another concert in a series hosted by the VAG for a quarter century: the Out For Lunch Concerts<\/a>. Created in 1986 to celebrate Vancouver\u2019s 100th birthday, this series has brought a tremendous variety of classical music and performance to local audiences from a range of international and local musicians.<\/p>\n

Places That Matter<\/a> is a project of Vancouver Heritage Foundation celebrating the 125th<\/sup> anniversary of the City of Vancouver. Over the past year the VHF has assembled a list of 125 places, events and people that matter to Vancouverites. Through public nominations, a site selection committee and original research, the 125 plaques will be ready to go by early in January.<\/p>\n

“Out For Lunch” was the most popular, garnering over a thousand votes. And here<\/a> are the top ten sites – a list that goes well beyond the traditional sterotypes of ‘heritage’ to include not only well-loved buildings but also historic places, streetscapes and even rows of trees.<\/p>\n

This makes a fine time to acknowledge the City we love – Happy Birthday, once again! – and to wish you all an engaged new year with this place that matters, this Vancouver, in its 126th year.<\/p>\n
