On Oct. 18, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­city planner Michael Gordon gives a presentation on the Canadian Pacific Railway and its influence on Vancouver's past and present. Until a couple of decades ago, the Canadian Pacific Railway and its lands and facilities were a prominent feature of Downtown Vancouver. Many residents have forgotten that the CPR played a central role in the emergence of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­as a city for more than a century. The presentation will speak to the legacies of the CPR in the structure, character and development of Vancouver. The talk is from 7 to 9 p.m. at City of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Archives, 1150 Chestnut St. For more information, visit heritagevancouver.org.
