Heritage Hour:

The Francophone Pioneers of the Lower Mainland

Tuesday, April 21st, 7pm - 8:30pm
University Women's Club at Hycroft
$20/15+tax

From the very earliest decades of European settlement in the Lower Mainland, Francophones played an active part in the social, economic and religious development of the area. From Gastown to Langley, including, of course, Maillardville, familiar names will be encountered, right up to the new Francophonies that more recently augment this linguistic group.

About the Speaker:
Originally from Ottawa, Maurice Guibord has resided in Vancouver for 35 years, where he obtained a Masters in History from SFU. His curiosity about the lack of information in B.C. historical publications on the Francophones that played an active part in the development of the province led to his present position as Executive Director of the Société historique francophone de la Colombie-Britannique.
