April 30 - The Francophone Pioneers of Vancouver: A Little-known History and Legacy 

Please note that this lecture will be at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club, 1630 W 15th Ave
The first Francophones in BC were the voyageurs that facilitated the travels of European explorers into the territory. It is thus not surprising that they were well represented among the early settlers of both Victoria and Vancouver. Their still extant commercial buildings in the older sectors of Vancouver indicate their influence in commerce, industry and culture. Maurice Guibord, President of Société historique francophone de la Colombie-Britannique will bring these now obscure early Vancouverites to light and highlight their significance in the region’s history and landscape.
