History

Nearly 60 years before the Oak Street Bridge existed, the Marpole Bridge crossed the North Arm of the Fraser, joining what we now know as Vancouver and Richmond.

Even the commercial breaks during the Winter Olympics coverage bring out our Canadian pride. One ad stars a Vancouver curling club that's been around for nearly 60 years.

If you're still on Twitter and you're not following @MrT you're probably going to want to remedy that, sucka. The lovable tough guy discovered the sport a few days ago and he didn't wanna hear no backtalk about it then, nor now.

In print for over a century, the book Legends of Vancouver tells the stories of the people and the land as told to writer Pauline Johnson by Squamish Chief Joe Capilano and other indigenous locals.

In 2011, Vancouver Heritage Foundation launched the Places That Matter plaque project . Led by community nominations, 125 previously unrecognized sites were identified and a plan to award each one a blue plaque with their unique story was born.

When Pauline Johnson died in 1913, her wish was to be buried in her beloved Stanley Park. The problem? The Park no longer served as a cemetery.

For the sake of our economy and young people, we must address the house price crisis. But we must first identify the problem. For the last couple of years, a debate has pitted non-economists against economists.

Hit the slopes, take in the view, and brush up your German.

UBC Library’s Rare Books & Special Collections recently acquired the only surviving copy of the first issue of a newspaper published in 1886 in Vancouver.

It's a sight we don't really see these days.
