Discover Heritage

Map Guides

Take yourself on a tour of historic Vancouver neighbourhoods

VHF has created a series of historic neighbourhood map guides. Available here to download and print or to use on a desktop or mobile device, each map guide provides a walkable route to follow and learn about local history and heritage places.

Limited copies of printed map guides are available at the VHF Office, located at 303 – 3102 Main Street. Guides currently in print: Historic Chinatown (English & Chinese) and Historic Japanese Canadian District. Map guides cannot be mailed. Please contact mail@vancouverheritagefoundation.org to arrange a time to pickup during office hours. You can also find PDF versions of all our map guides below.
