VANCOUVER – Hastings Mill Store, the only building that was built before Vancouver‘s Great Fire of June 13th, 1886 that is still standing, endures as an important part of Vancouver‘s heritage.

Vancouver‘s first store and post office has been operated by its owners, the Native Daughters of B.C. Post No. 1, since 1930, when it was barged to its current site on Alma Road. Filled with artifacts of Vancouver‘s history, the museum provides a look at Vancouver‘s past.

You can be a part of preserving and sharing this vital part of Vancouver‘s history if you are a woman born in B.C. who’s over 18.

If you are interested in applying or want more information about Hastings Mill, please phone 604-986-0863.
