Waterfront Productions

Offered during the summer months, this animated and informative program is geared toward the general public, both tourists and locals.

Join a walking tour of the former Burrard Dry Dock site led by guides dressed as WWII shipyard workers. Learn about North Vancouver’s maritime history, “Victory” ships, colourful characters, and local lore. Explore the sights and sounds of Lower Lonsdale, where past and future come together.  More of this story may be heard at A Rivetted Community: North Vancouver's Wartime Shipbuilding.

Alternatively, visit Lynn Canyon Park and meet mountaineers Max and Molly. Discover how the north shore's mountaineers drew young explorers to climb and investigate local and interior mountains. Hear how the mountains were accessed before there many roads, waterproof clothing and equipment and GPS to lead the way!

To prepare for this program, visit our virtual exhibit, Climbing to the Clouds: A People's History of BC Mountaineering.
