| Event Description |
Maillardville is the first and only Francophone settlement in B.C. The legacy of the pioneers can still be found on the streets of Maillardville, with approximately 13% of its residents speaking French as their mother tongue. The event will be a showcase and dialogue on revitalization efforts and how an urban neighbourhood in the initial stages of decline, can realize a collective vision for the neighbourhood. A unique community engagement model is being piloted in this neighbourhood which includes all levels of government, businesses, Francophone and cultural groups and residents to revitalize Maillardville through grass roots community efforts.
