Vancouver looks like such a new city that its hard to sometimes imagine what it looked like before the forest of gleaming glass condo towers gave Stanley Park an inferiority complex. Photographer William J. Moore had a totally different view of the city at the turn of the last century and, luckily for us, he used his No. 8 Cirkut Outfit camera to record his impressions. On December 4, the Space Centre is hosting the second part of Through the Lens: Building Vancouvers History. You can travel through time as Moores panoramic photographs are digitally blended with photos of more current times, seen for the first time with the new digital planetarium projection system for a full immersion environment. Your guide is local historian Michael Kluckner. Doors open at 6:30 and the show begins at 7. Tickets are $8 to $13 or you can get a family pass for $38. Go to SpaceCentre.ca for details.
