Walking Tour-The West End Heritage Tour
Wednesday, August 14th, 2013; 6:00pm-8:00pm
Tickets: $15; $10 Heritage Vancouver Members
Tour will meet at the southwest corner of Nelson Park (Comox/Bute), and 
finish at Roedde House in Barclay Heritage Square.

Since it was first surveyed and branded as part of the City of New 
Liverpool in the latter half of the 19th century, Vancouver's West End 
has evolved. It contains a mixture of distinctive building styles 
representing successive eras of development. One of the emerging 
directions from the City's community planning process supports the 
retention of surviving heritage resources.

In support of this direction, and in partnership with the City, 
Heritage Vancouver is conducting a walking tour through the Nelson 
Slopes/Plateau section of the West End on Wednesday August 14th, 2013 
from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

The route will include a number of identifiable heritage groupings or 
districts. Some buildings are on the City's Heritage Register, but few 
are protected. Many are not even on the Register, and at even greater 
risk. A number of issues concerning retention of significant buildings 
of all eras will be raised for discussion.

The walk will begin at 6pm at the southwest corner of Nelson Park 
(Comox/Bute), and finish about two hours later at Roedde House in 
Barclay Heritage Square.
