Our Vision? When transit users emerge from the future Mount Pleasant Broadway Subway station, they will arrive at Mount Pleasant’s vibrant and distinct ‘Heritage Heart’, not a generic “could-be-anywhere” neighbourhood. mountpleasantheritagegroup.org 📷C. Hagemoen

@MountPleasantBC @GlobalBC @vanalogueYVR Yes, we are so lucky to have Christine.

@MPheritagegroup @GlobalBC @vanalogueYVR It is my wish that every neighbourhood could have someone like Christine live near them...so much knowledge about all of the things we have, and all that came before.

MPHG's own Christine Hagemoen was on @GlobalBC for their Where We Live series- Mount Pleasant - working to keep heritage and culture alive. globalnews.ca/video/10751972… @vanalogueYVR @MountPleasantBC

You might see a few of these up in the area. Little historical plaques telling stories of what was here before, or interesting people etc. We worked on them with local icon @vanalogueYVR We hope you enjoy them!

We don't feel a day over 30....has it been 35 years? Gastown and Mount Pleasant are the two oldest BIAs in Vancouver...and still going strong.

You never know what will vanish in Vancouver — the Landmark hotel tower was demolished while this little West End storefront survived. Artist Michael Kluckner's new history book is filled with scenes of beauty and battles over land. My @TheTyee piece: thetyee.ca/Culture/2024/0…
