The Ferry Building in West Vancouver is Set to Be Raised About Five Feet

The Ferry Building in West Vancouver, British Columbia, is set to be raised about five feet. The District of West Vancouver has received a grant to fund the project. The building is heritage-designated, so the proposed work will require a Heritage Alteration Permit. The project will also upgrade building and seismic systems. Accessible washrooms will also be added on the west side.

Art in the Square

For more than a century, the Ferry Building has been the heart of life in West Vancouver. It started as a busy ferry terminal and today houses an art gallery. The building has always played an important role in the community. In the early 1900s, it was home to the Squamish tribe and was a summer getaway for Vancouver residents. Ferries took people to Ambleside and downtown Vancouver.

Now in its 30th year, the Ferry Building Gallery is presenting a retrospective of past artists. This show features work by artists including Carole Arnston, Claire Babcock, Elspeth Bradbury, Ray James Bradbury, Colette Chilcott, Jane Adams Clark, Lil Chrzan, Isabelle Procter, Melanie Rivers, Barry Shelton, and Shirley Claire Williams.

The event also includes solo exhibits. Small Wonders features work by local artists, including pieces from Alice Rich Loft Gallery, Welch Street Studios, and Welch Center. There are also wineries, including the Mistaken Identity Vineyards. This event is free to attend and open to the public.
