Gordon Price, director of the SFU City Program (hey, that’s me!), hosts a planning tour of the city’s West End.
Saturday, August 24, 2013; 10am to 12:00pm
$10 Heritage Vancouver members; $15 non-members
Meet at Barclay Heritage Square, in Vancouver’s West End
.
Price will offer insights into the neighbourhood, highlighting eight different architectural stages, from fine wooden mansions to functional wooden walk-ups, not to mention more high-rise towers than any other neighbourhood in Canada. Along the way, Price will explain some of the planning theory and trends that shaped the West End – and some of the lessons to be learned.
Meet at Barclay Heritage Square, 1433 Barclay St., at 10 a.m. and wear comfortable shoes because the walk is two hours long. An umbrella is also a good idea, depending on the weather.
Tickets are $10 for Heritage Vancouver Society members and $15 for the general public. For more information, visit heritagevancouver.org.
Is someone able to film Gordon’s presentation and put it on you tube? A lot of Aussies want to see the great man in action. David – Public Transport Users Association – Melbourne
