Around Town: H.R. MacMillan Space Centre

About this event

Convened by Patrica McCuaig

Around Town Around Town is a series of occasional outings to Vancouver’s cultural and historic places. Every month or so we’ll visit a different site: perhaps a museum, gallery, special collection, or heritage place. It’s a friendly way to discover some of the city’s most interesting spaces.
