#SkyTrain officially opened for business on January 3, 1986. But some riders took the train for a test drive long before opening day. Angus McIntyre has the First Riders Club certificate to prove it https://t.co/xzmUEhLjAQ

#NorthVancouver’s Maplewood Flats is a wildlife sanctuary about 1/3 the size of Stanley Park. In the '70s, it was a squatter community and for two weeks it hosted the Dollarton Pleasure Faire *Warning: some photos contain nudity & maybe your grandparents https://t.co/kA8gvBYhMW

Between 1869 & 1948, Britain shipped over 100,000 mostly orphaned boys and girls to work on Canadian farms and as household servants. It’s estimated that 10% of our population is made up of their descendants. Are you one of them? #beneathdarkwaters

Built in 1910 as a hotel for the rich, the Wigwam Inn has been a dance hall, a brothel & an illegal casino. Is it #haunted? Of course! Listen to ghostly encounters from the caretaker and her daughter #Halloween #coldcasecanada #northvancouver #hauntedhouse

The Wigwam Inn at Indian Arm is one of Metro Vancouver's most storied old mansions. It's also haunted. The ghost of Martha lives in Room 209.

Where most of see a jumbled store window, Bruce Stewart sees “unconscious art.” “This is central to my collection of window displays as it showcases the abjectly surreal nature of arrangements," he says. #Vancouver photos from the '70s: https://t.co/1XJhGgsHTs #vancouverexposed
