Public programs geared to adult audiences include historic North Vancouver harbour tours, workshops on topics such as family record-keeping, genealogy, local history, and lecture series by local authors.
Displays and activities are provided at festivals and community celebrations where kids and parents can enjoy hands-on activities (such as making “bug lamps” like the early mountaineers), view special exhibits, and listen to costumed interpreters tell stories about celebrated local mountain climbers or WWII shipyard workers.
A new oral history program, “North Vancouver Voices” has been launched and a crew of volunteers has been trained to interview long-time community members who may have significant undocumented stories to tell.
If you are looking for something to do right now ... view the films on our virtual exhibit, Climbing to the Clouds: A People's History of Mountaineering. They are certain to entertain.
Upcoming programs are listed on the What’s On page.
