Agents of Change: Chief Dan George Legacy

This exhibition offers a connection between past and present, building a space for important figures like Chief Dan George and his legacy. The goal is to create conversations about humility, human rights, environmental protection and identity. Everyday we take a step forward into actions which uncover truths and lead us on a path of reconciliation within our particular histories. Walk with us and discover your path and, maybe, a plan of action.

Ends June 9

From The Inlet (Blog)

CORNER STORES AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY: THE STORY OF THE CHOY FAMILY AND LUCKY CORNER GROCERY

There is a particular fond nostalgia attached to independent family run corner stores that evokes memories of hot summer days and childhood independence. Perhaps a corner store was the place you made your first ever purchase–a bag of ten cent candies or some junk food your parents would never buy–maybe it was the place you met your friends after school, or where you would get an ice cream with your family. This nostalgia speaks to the often overlooked, but critical role corner stores play not just as local businesses, but as shared community spaces and sites of collective memory in places like North Vancouver.
