Strathcona Walking Tour

print E-mail RSS Bookmark us Share Comments

Monday, March 15, 2010

The neighbourhood today known as Strathcona was home to Vancouver’s first ethnic enclaves.

Strathcona-based house history researcher and neighbourhood heritage activist James Johnstone has spent the last decade researching the history of over 700 Vancouver houses, 250 of which are in his East End neighbourhood.

You are invited to join Heritage Vancouver on a stroll through the streets and alleys of Vancouver’s first neighbourhood, while James Johnstone will share some of the many fascinating stories he has uncovered concerning the people who built and lived in the houses he has researched in the area.

The tour started on August 15 and here are the upcoming events:

September 17: A Conversation with Brent Toderian

September 24: Saving the Pennsylvania Hotel

October 15: Annual General Meeting & Reception

December 3: A Victorian Christmas Party

For more information about James Johnstone's work, please visit his website.
