Event Description

Join us for a trip down memory lane with a Heritage Walk in Mount Pleasant, Vancouver's original suburb. Find out about the urban design principles that shaped the evolution of this historic neighbourhood.

In addition to visiting landmark buildings such as the 101 year-old Quebec Manor, the Lee Building, the tour will touch Belvedere Court, Ashnola Apartments, Crosbie Block, Wenonah Apartments and the Royal Bank's building. Other points of interest are apartment blocks on Quebec Street, a few rowhouses, Brewery Creek and Watson Street.

The tour will conclude at a local coffee shop - please feel free to join us after the walk!
