Heritage Week Tea

We hosted a gathering of heritage partners at the Milner Chapel to close out BC Heritage Week, and to learn about plans for the coming year. With more Canadians staying home, this is the perfect time to get the word out about our unique heritage sites and museums at home. Thanks to all for attending, and to LHS member Glenn Disney for the photos.   Brigitte Wieronski is a director with the LHS and manager of Site and Visitor Experience at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

Spirit of Skeena

“Spirit of the Skeena” has been moved from one side of the airport to other. The DC-3 that was built in 1935 belongs to the Canadian Museum of Flight and is now beside the Magnificent Seven mural at Langley Airport. For the public it makes for a close-up view of this vintage aircraft that did service in B.C. From the museum's website: “This Douglas DC-3 in fact, was the first DC-3 to be owned and operated by a "home grown" B.C. airline, -- Queen Charlotte Airlines. She became Pacific Western Airlines first DC-3 and as such was assigned the fleet number of 301. Today, CF-PWH is the oldest surviving DC-3 in Canada.” The museum will eventually move to Pitt Meadows Airport, a project that could take up to 5 years. More about the Canadian Museum of Flight HERE
