Event Details

As Canada’s largest port city and a gateway to global markets, the waters and shores of Burrard Inlet are an important part of Vancouver’s industrial, commercial and transportation infrastructure. This natural harbour was one of the engines of non-native settlement with the development of the Hastings Mill and the railway terminus. On this walk, local historian John Atkin will take a closer look at the history and surviving heritage that can be found on the shore, including a fish cannery and one of the largest BC Mills pre-fabricated buildings in the city.

Throughout and after the pre-recorded virtual stroll, there will be opportunities to ask John Atkin questions live.
