The Vancouver Heritage Foundation takes the conservation of Vancouver’s culture very seriously. They provide walks, tours, talks, special events, and grants to ensure that the city’s heritage is properly recognized and celebrated. By taking a tour of one of the registered historic buildings or landmarks, you not only enjoy visiting a piece of Vancouver history, but you contribute to the city’s survival.

The tours change yearly, so be sure to check the schedule. Try the Heritage House Tour, a Mid-Century Modern House Tour, or the Laneway House Tour. You should also keep an eye out for upcoming special events such as City Drinks: An Evening in Shaughnessy, which takes place at Disher House, built in 1912 and attributed to the Architect Paul Phipps. Should you ever decide to move to Vancouver and buy one of the heritage houses, the Foundation has grants available for their restoration.
