Image - 1958 BCE BusClimb aboard a Transit Museum Society historic bus* for an exclusive guided tour of Heritage Vancouver’s 2011 Top Ten Endangered sites. Be the first to know what sites are on the Top Ten this year.

For the first time ever, Heritage Vancouver is announcing the 2011 Top Ten Endangered Sites right before the bus tour departs. Tour guide Donald Luxton, well-known author and heritage expert and the President of Heritage Vancouver, will fascinate you with his stories of this year’s endangered sites.

The bus will stop several times and you will have the opportunity to explore several sites in detail and have a conversation with community members.

Purchase your tickets early as this popular, award-winning tour always sells out. See full info at our website.
