                    Join East End-based house history researcher and blogger,                     heritage advocate and history walk guide James Johnstone                         for a tour of Vancouver’s East End.  James will use                                 excerpts from the recently reprinted collection of 50 oral                         histories of East End pioneers, Opening Doors by Daphne                     Marlatt and Carole Itter. This much loved groundbreaking                         East End history, originally published in 1979, was

                    reprinted in 2011 by Harbour Publishing thanks to a                                 Vancouver 125 Grant.

 
                    As you tour the streets and alleys of old Strathcona, you will                     not only see some fascinating old houses and buildings but                     will meet scores of truly amazing characters from                                     Strathcona’s past through their stories preserved in this                             book.
