Established in 1973, Heritage Day (and Heritage Week) is a country-wide initiative to raise awareness of Canada's unique historic locations and to promote their preservation. Vancouver and the Lower Mainland offers a wide range of historic places, from its two National Historic Sites (Fort Langley and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery) to its parks and to its heritage buildings which date back over one hundred years.
