Event Details

Tour Description

Tour Host: Michael Barnholden

This tour takes you from Victory Square to Larwill Park, to Market Alley and in between – drugs, squats, riots and Vancouver's earliest baseball diamond. Rioting, homelessness and baseball are all connected by being located in the earliest of city centres. Public art and commercial signage compete on some of the oldest buildings in town.

Vaudeville theatres, opium factories, Public library, SRO hotels, restaurants and train stations are all there waiting to be reviewed. Hear the stories and legends behind the facades of early Vancouver when Vancouver went from village to city with the coming of the CPR.

Special Instructions

This tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Jane's Walk

Jane's Walk is held simultaneously in cities across Canada and other countries around the world. Inspired by Jane Jacob's and her belief that in order to know your city "you have to get out and walk," Jane's Walk is a simple idea. It is free, it connects people and builds communities by promoting urban literacy and citizen engagement.
