Tours Tour 1
2:00 - 4:30 pm Heart of the City Tour
Despite the one dimensional media publicity about Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside
as a “war zone” this walk about will illustrate the strengths and triumphs of
local residents against considerable odds in renewing their community through
community arts and community activism. Now the Olympics are at hand. Will the
community gain or lose? The Olympics were sold as the “inclusive Olympics” so
Canada’s reputation is at stake in this issue. Michael Clague, former Director
of Carnegie Community Centre in the Downtown Eastside (and UCV member) will lead
this tour. It’s an opportunity to hear from some of the people who live and work
in the community.
Cost $10
Tour 2
2:00 – 3:00 pm
Unitarian Church of Vancouver Buildings and Landscape Tour
Designed by Wolfgang Gerson and constructed in 1964, the Unitarian Church of
Vancouver sanctuary and buildings have been designated by the City of Vancouver
as Class A on their Heritage Register as an example of modern architecture in
this City. The church was the first post-1940s building added to the City of
Vancouver heritage register. The building complex, clustered around a beautiful
open courtyard, features cubic composition, overhanging flat roofs and
floor-to-ceiling windows. (Erika and Kate Gerson to lead tour)
No charge. Must pre-register.
