We are Invited

Posted on: January 29, 2025

Lisa Smith, a noted author, and Board Member of the Friends of Old Hastings Mill Store Museum, invites BCHNS members  to visit the Museum  on BC  Family Day 2025. (February 15/16 1 – 4 pm)  The Museum is Vancouver’s oldest surviving building c. 1868.

The theme of the event is “Amazing Survivors, Superstar Heroes” and is family-oriented  featuring story panels showing  events of heroism and survival, a craft activity, artifacts from the Great Vancouver Fire of 1886, and a Fire Smart BC display.  The event salutes all the first responders and front-line workers who protect our communities, both locally, nationally, and internationally.

The  Museum is located at 1575 Alma Street, Vancouver BC. For further information call 604-733-9749.
