A new not-for profit society has been launched to promote heritage
preservation on the North Shore.
The North Shore Heritage Preservation Society was created in June
2005 from the combination of two groups: the North Shore Heritage
Network, an online service set up by two North Vancouver homeowners,
and the Hodgson House Society, which was created by a group of West
Vancouver residents in a bid to save and restore the former home
of early architect Hugh Hodgson.
The society has a mandate of raising awareness of the merits of
heritage and distinctive buildings, providing a resource for preservation
of these buildings, and helping to protect buildings under threat.
Its website includes an email forum for the exchange of information
- tips, advice and questions on renovations, contractors, historical
research, council activities, and general events and developments.
For information on the new society, please email info@northshoreheritage.org.
Or, simply visit its website at www.northshoreheritage.org.
I hope you will join me in supporting the North Shore Heritage
Preservation Society.
Kindest regards,
Grant
