As part of Historic Places Days, join us at Hollywood Theatre on July 15th for a night of exploring and learning about Vancouvers Places that Matter, the Hollywood Theatre, and lost theatres in the city.
Enjoy an informative evening at Hollywood Theatre with Vancouver Heritage Foundation, Michelle Barile, and Tom Carter and John Atkins as they each share unique stories about Vancouvers Heritage. Each presentation will speak to Vancouvers vibrant history of community, place and entertainment.
Vancouver Heritage Foundations Community Engagement Manager, Jessica Quan will speak to the importance of the Places that Matter Community Resource focussing on sites that have connection to Vancouvers entertainment history. Places that Matter launched with a plaque project in 2011 to recognize community-nominated sites that highlight some of the lesser-known people, places and events that have shaped Vancouver.
Michelle Barile, the Executive Director of the West Broadway BIA will speak to the resilience of Hollywood Theatre. This talk will highlight the story of the iconic theatre, community superheroes, and constructive development practices to support the place we love.
Historians Tom Carter and John Atkin Vancouver will speak about Vancouvers fascinating history of movie theatres and their influence on the city of Vancouver.
To finish off the event, we will be watching a 2023 video put together by Oh Boy Productions that documents the Vancouver Block clock restoration, as well as to capture some of Ray Saunders memories as Vancouver’s preeminent horologist.
