À propos
Learn about the state of heritage and conservation projects in Vancouver today with experts in architecture and design, conservation, city planning and other related fields presenting at Vancouver Heritage Foundation's virtual Heritage Lunch and Learns.
The speakers offer in-depth illustrated presentations followed by a Q&A.
Behind the Seams: Vancouver’s Garment Industry in the 1900s: Vancouver is not known today for its garment industry, but some prominent factories (staffed largely by women), put the city on the map in the early part of the 20th century. This presentation traces a century of clothing manufacturing, from its early days of industrialization to its modern underground form, focusing on the experiences of the workers and their ongoing struggle for fair and dignified work.
About the Speaker: Natasha Fairweather is the Project Manager at the BC Labour Heritage Centre, focusing on oral histories, walking tours, and school lesson plans. Originally from the Kamloops area, Natasha has lived in Malaysia, the Northwest Territories, and eventually Alberta, where she studied and later taught sociology. She lives in Port Moody with her wife and children.

Vancouver Heritage Foundation
Vancouver Heritage Foundation (VHF) advances the appreciation and conservation of our city’s diverse heritage places and their stories. We raise awareness of the vital contribution that heritage makes to a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community.
We host informative events and workshops, create resources about Vancouver’s history and heritage places, and provide financial and practical support for the successful conservation of historic buildings and sites.
VHF recognizes the diverse history and cultural heritage of Vancouver and that the city is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam),Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.
