See, hear, and learn about industrial lands in the Mt Pleasant area of Vancouver. Local industrial tourism / working staycation at its best!

This walking tour will engage participants about 'what is industrial' and what uses are supportive and compatible, or conflicting and incompatible, with traditional and/or modern industrial activities in an urban environment.

With over two decades of experience in the Metro Vancouver region, Eric Aderneck has a deep understanding of urban planning, land development, and industrial lands, and has published a number of reports and articles about the matter. He will use his knowledge and expertise to show you a unique part of the city as you've never seen it before.

Event Details

The walking tour is approximately 90 minutes and will be held rain or shine. Followed by optional drinks at a local pub (where we’ll discuss if craft breweries are an industrial use).

Please dress for the weather, have comfortable walking shoes, and note there will be no place to store bags during the tour. You’ll get a printed copy of the walking route map with information and references.

Further details about the tour, including starting and ending locations and a map, will be provided via email 1-2 days before the event.


Tour Overview

Mt Pleasant was first a residential neighbourhood in the 1930s and became industrial when zoning for the area subsequently changed. More recently, there have been significant new development under the amended industrial zoning bylaw provisions enabling new light industry / commercial buildings with tech uses including software and life-science sectors.

The profile of jobs in this eclectic area has changed over the last few decades, with loss of traditional manufacturing and growth of tech businesses, yet a number of old residential houses still remain.

You’ll see examples of innovative multi-level industrial buildings combined with other employment uses; you’ll hear from an industrial lands planner expert / connoisseur; and you’ll learn about how light industry can fit into a modern urban form.
