2023 Vancouver Branch Meetings

This is an archive page of meetings from a previous year. Click here for the most current information.

Meetings were previously held at the Bonsor Recreation Complex (2nd floor, 6550 Bonsor Ave., Burnaby, BC) on the third Tuesday evening (7:30-9:30pm) of 4 or 5 chosen months each year. As we ease out of the pandemic, meetings will continue to be held via Zoom until we can welcome local members back to the Bonsor meeting room and bring other members into the meeting via a live-stream.

Social events: Loyalist Day picnic in July; Spring or Fall Fleets within the Pacific Region as planned in May and October; and Christmas Luncheon in December.

Community Engagement possibilities: Heritage Fairs in the spring, Highland Games in June, Finding Your Roots seminar in October, and ceremonial wreath laying on Remembrance Day in November.
