Join us for an outdoor projected photo experience at the Wallace Shipyards Stage. Celebrating Indigenous History Month, the photo experience will be projected every night:
June 21 – 27, 2021, 9:00 – 11:00 PM.
In a collage of archival and contemporary images, “Pulling with Our Ancestors: Learning from Coast Salish Canoe Culture” is a celebration of local Coast Salish history and contemporary culture. From canoe carving to canoe racing, the projected images highlight the central role of canoe culture to the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations both in the past and in the present.
Developed with MONOVA’s Indigenous Voices Advisory Committee, including members of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ Nations. Presented by the City of North Vancouver, The Shipyards District, BMO Financial Group, Seaspan, and Showkraft Entertainment.
Learn about Coast Salish weaving, make your own woven wool bracelets, and contribute to the opening of MONOVA: Museum of North Vancouver.
From this workshop you will also learn the cultural importance of giving! In Sḵwx̱wú7mesh culture, the first item made of any art form is to be given away. During this workshop you will make two bracelets, the first will be given away as part of the upcoming opening of the new MONOVA: Museum of North Vancouver (planned for later in 2021) and the second is yours to keep.
FREE – Supplies will be provided and available to pick up.

Through a series of short videos released over the coming months, we will use storytelling to create meaningful connections between individuals and communities throughout North Vancouver.
We invite you to take a moment to listen and experience the power of personal storytelling. Join in the laughter and open your heart to the sorrow, because we are learning that we are all in this together.
#NorthVanStories Living History video series is a part of Mayor Linda Buchanan’s Healthiest Small City Social Resiliency Collective.
Part of the oral history program available at the Archives of North Vancouver, “Recollections of Lynn Valley School” is a Historypin project that uses online mapping and personal recollections to engage audiences in the power of storytelling. The topics discussed and the memories shared reveal the impact the building has had on the lives and education of Lynn Valley residents.
