Main Street - Market 1886
When the City of Vancouver was founded in 1886 its citizens lived a little differently. We walked or cycled our City, we ate locally grown and organic foods all from within a 100 mile radius, we worked and lived in the same community, we knew our neighbours, and we knew how to have fun for free. So, come to historic Mount Pleasant this summer to rediscover some our past with a look to building a better future.
