Tales From The West End

An evening of story-telling as West End residents, past and present, share stories of our community's past.

February's featured storyteller is educator and historian Isaac Vanderhorst, who will bring history alive with his stories about the West End’s former Industrial area in Coal Harbour.

You are encouraged to listen, sketch and bring your own stories and historic photographs of the West End to share with your community. Admission is free, and JJ Bean provides complimentary coffee and tea.

Tales from the West End takes place the third Tuesday of every September, October, November, January, February and March. Bring your own stories and photos to share with your neighbours.
