WEST VANCOUVER Heritage Advisory Committee chairman Wally Beck, seen here in front of the heritage
building Klee Wyck, is asking West Vancouver residents to nominate any buildings that they feel are worthy of

heritage identification.

IT IS a detective story of
sorts, involving much field
and archival research. The
prize: West Vancouver’s
vibrant heritage, identified
and catalogued.

Inventory work began at the end
of September, and now it is the
public’s turn to help the West
Vancouver Heritage Advisory
Committee uncover those heritage
treasures worthy of acknowl-
edgement that may otherwise go
unnoticed.

As part cf the municipality’s
75th anniversary project of com-
piling a heritage inventory, resi-
dents are being asked to nominate
buildings or other resources that
they believe may be of special in-
terest to the heritage inventory.

From going around the
municipality and searching out
significant buildings, heritage con-
sultant Foundation Group Designs
has so far identified about 120
buildings, ‘‘and about 80 poten-
tials,’ said consultant Don Lux-
ton.

But some buildings, which may
not be architecturally significant,
may have played a role in the
municipality’s history and be eligi-
ble for the inventory.

‘It’s very important in identify-
ing things of historical importance
to have discussions with the com-
munity,’’ he explained. ‘‘Say if a
(prominent) mayor or alderman
lived there — that’s the kind of
thing you have to get.”

“We want as much input from
the community as possible,”’ said
West Vancouver social planner
Richard Wagner, the staff repre-
sentative to the committee.
“‘(Buildings) may look insignifi-
cant but be very important histori-
cally.”’

Committee chairman Wally
Beck said an inventory of this
scope and quality is long overdue.
“There are a lot of buildings and
sites (whose) integrity has been
threatened because we haven't
identified (them as) our heritage.
