Vancouver Heritage Foundation is a registered charity supporting the conservation of heritage buildings and structures in recognition of their contribution to the city’s economy, sustainability and culture.

Beginning next Tuesday, January 29th, at 7:30pm VHF presents “Gritty City – Vancouver in the 60′s”.  Through three film nights we look back at Vancouver in the mid-20th century when neon and mid-century architecture were at their zenith, and the grittiness of the city was captured on the screen. Partnering with Church at the Hollywood in the historic Hollywood Theatre, our mini-film series offers three nights of great films and great discussion with entry and concession by donation. Doors open at 7pm. See below for more details. Hope you’ll join us!
