Heritage Vancouver will build an interactive building permit database to make the history of early Vancouver homes and other buildings easily accessible. We will host, in partnership with the Vancouver Archives, a dynamic “go-live event” to engage future users of the site. The project will highlight and celebrate the multicultural nature of early Vancouver by selecting ten houses from ten of our early neighbourhoods with owners from different countries. At the launch we will celebrate the homeowners currently living in the 10 selected homes and have a presentation on the diverse nature of early Vancouver.
With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
