Vancouver Heritage Foundation is a registered charity supporting the conservation of heritage buildings and structures in recognition of their contribution to the city’s economy, sustainability and culture. |
VHF has been experimenting with designs for fun "I Love Heritage" swag, and hot off the Six Cent Press, we have newly released I Love Heritage buttons! Collect all three buttons with images of the Burrard St. Bridge, the Chinatown gate, and Mole Hill with text in " Edwardian Buff" Yellow and the heart in "Strathcona Red". Never heard of "Edwardian Buff" or" Strathcona Red"? They are part of VHF's True Colours palette, a collection of original Vancouver paint colours. THese historic colours were discovered by scraping paint from over 100 turn of the century Vancouver homes, and developed by VHF with Benjamin Moore for you to use!
We were handing out buttons at our recent CBC Wall launch for Paul de Guzman's "the people are the city...". Paul's artwork will be up for the next year, and if you walk by the JJ Bean kiosk at the CBC Outdoor Stage near the Library, you'll see it installed. If you want your own button you can drop by our office or come to an upcoming program. We'll be handing them out until they're all gone. Grab one and Tweet @VanHeritage #ILoveHeritage or post your pics to VHF's facebook page with your reasons of why you love Vancouver's heritage. Then wear your "I Love Heritage" button loud and proud in support of Vancouver's amazing buildings, culture and history (Bruce did...) !
