On Oct. 18, Vancouver city planner Michael Gordon gives a presentation on the Canadian Pacific Railway and its influence on Vancouver's past and present. Until a couple of decades ago, the Canadian Pacific Railway and its lands and facilities were a prominent feature of Downtown Vancouver. Many residents have forgotten that the CPR played a central role in the emergence of Vancouver as a city for more than a century.

The talk is from 7 to 9 p.m. at City of Vancouver Archives, 1150 Chestnut St. For more information, visit heritagevancouver.org.
