A new Heritage Minute is sharing the story of a pioneering baseball team in British Columbia and the government policy that tore them apart.

In our ongoing 5 things series, we uncover some interesting and unusual details about Vancouver. Instruments up, because it's time to take a look at the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Symphony Orchestra.

People who regularly watch the Fraser River viewed something earlier this month that is seldom seen actually sailing on the river like it once did. The Samson V paddlewheel steamboat was briefly on the move.

After 61 years of preserving and promoting the city’s heritage, the Burnaby Historical Society is disbanding.

Old photos from the Richmond Archives reveal a rather bizarre structure — a 30-foot high, 190-foot-long slide — near the corner of No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway, adjacent to Richmond Centre.

Eighty years ago Vancouverites first walked across a new span from Stanley Park to West Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€“ a bridge that was to be the entrance to Greater Vancouver, like another famous bridge in California. The Lions Gate Bridge opened to pedestrians on Nov. 12, 1938, and to cars two days later.

Today, the 100-year-old Lynn Valley woman is one of only three surviving female pilots to serve the British in the Second World War. From 1943 to 1945, Edwards was a member of the Air Transport Auxiliary.

Special places for remembrance and reflection, and to honour those who gave their lives for the country.
