VRMNC SPEAKER LUNCHEON

Oak Bay Recreation Centre

Thursday April 23rd:

"Heritage Acres: Past, Present and Future"

with Phil Clark, President, Heritage Acres

You are invited to join us for VRMNC's Luncheon / Speaker.

About the Speaker: Our April speaker is Phil Clark.
Phil is the current President at Saanich Historical Artifacts Society and has been involved with the organization for about eight years. He has lived on the Peninsular for the last 15 years or so,
Phil is originally from the UK and had a fifty-year international career in the Marine and Offshore oil industries and shipbuilding until decommissioning himself and retiring to Cordova Bay. Apart from what seems like a full time volunteer position at Heritage Acres Phil enjoys sailing, cooking, sketching, and painting.

About the talk:

Phil will summarize the history of Heritage Acres from its inception in the 1960's to the present day. He will take you on a virtual train ride and a virtual tour of the 30 acre facility and will describe the significance of some of the buildings. He will then talk about some of the more interesting of 30,000 or so artifacts in Saanich Historical Artifacts Society collections.
Phil will discuss the many different ways you can get involved with the activities of this 100% volunteer run organization. He will also cover the planned development and revitalization efforts to ensure the popular community facility is preserved and improved for the benefit of future generations.
