This week, we share a short story, based on fact, about the St George ferry and its signalling system.
Pastimes in Past Times
The theme for Heritage Week in BC this year is Pastimes in Past Times! What a fabulous topic! Upon hearing this, I scoured the North and West Vancouver Archives for relevant photos and dug deep into my memory bank and those of anyone I knew over the age of 50. As it turns out, there are a lot of activities that people used to do in the good old days that are no longer popular today. Things like gathering as a family to listen to the radio, riding a rope tow and using a film camera plus lots more. If you actually remember doing any of these things, you are old! If you don’t, I suggest you disconnect from TikTok and read on to learn about good old-fashioned fun!
