It's Heritage Week and what better way to learn about Bowen Island's history than to take a walk through the cove. On Saturday, February 25, from 10 to 11 a.m., walk leader Will Husby will meet interested islanders outside the Snug Cafe.
Come along for a short walk through the cove and meet historian Marion Moore to see historic places and hear stories of the history and nature of our small village.
This is a chance to see some of the special places in Snug Cove and to ask questions and share your own stories of this part of our island home.
This is a community discovery walk in the spirt of the Jane's Walk movement which focuses on the community livability philosophy and writings of community planner Jane Jacobs.
Jane Jacobs saw communities as ecosystems composed of people, buildings and infrastructure and the natural environment. A firm believer in the importance of local residents' understanding their community and having input on how their neighbourhoods develop, Jacobs encouraged people to familiarize themselves with the places where they live, work and play. This'Getting to know Snug Cove'walk is envisioned to be a first step in the process.
Everyone is welcome to attend. Please dress for the weather and bring your stories and questions.
This event is ponsored by Bowen Heritage and the Bowen Island EcoAlliance as part of B.C. Heritage Week.
