Explore North Vancouver’s shipbuilding history with the Shipyard Pals

Shipyard Sal and Shipyard Sam (occasionally it has been Shipyard Sue) are long standing theatrical characters who have been developed and created by the MONOVA team from bits and pieces of anecdotal history from the North Shore.

Join us this summer for free walking tours with our costumed, theatrical players. Enjoy The Shipyards and learn about its place in World War 2 history as a major shipbuilding yard. Stories, songs and learning all rolled into one!
