Built on the territory of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam peoples, Gastown is the first and only neighbourhood of modern Vancouver to absorb every layer of the city’s legacy. Its history is simultaneously cherished and iterated upon, resulting in a never-ending evolution – from sawmills to bars to startups.
Some call it nostalgia, we call it proud. History runs deep in our veins and we aren’t prepared to stray far from our roots anytime soon.
Behind every brick or cobblestone, there is a story – and a whole lot of soul. Join us this month as we take a trip down memory lane to explore those stories and honour Gastown’s rich history.
Together, we will continue to pour endless amounts of love & care into this national historic site.
