THE POOLE/HAGGERTY Cottage on Bowen Island, built in 1920, was first e summer home.

DURING THE summer I was
fortunate enough to be one of
the many participants in the
“People, Plants and Places
Tour” arranged by the Bowen
Island Historians and Mem-

NORTH SHORE
HERITAGE
By Dorothy Foster

The weather was great, and again
the residents of Bowen Island
opened their doors to the public and
displayed great hospitality to all of
the people taking the tour.

Many sites had displays of photos
and memorabilia as you approached
the cottages or homes, and the Old
Union Steamship Store, the tour
headquarters, also had a display.

It was there that I met Joan
Haggerty, a writer and high school
teacher who had recently spent time
at the family cottage working on her
latest novel, The Invitation, pub-
lished by Dougtas and McIntyre.
Little did 1 know that I would end up
drawing her family cottage.

wood-framed structure with white
trim. Two of the massive trees on the
property were pointed out to me later
as being virgin growth timber,

After | had sketched the cottage 1
chatted with the owners and their
friends and visitors on the deck, and
then was taken on a tour of the inside

of the cottage.

Amazingly, it is pretty much the
same inside now as it was years ago.

It was like taking a trip into the
past. On the porch there was a write-
up about the cottage written by
Robin Pretious (Irene Poole’s daugh-
ter).

“In the summer of 1919, my
grandparents, Clarence and Henrietta
Poole and their four children were
tenting above the lagoon. My grand-
father became friends with a Mr.
Jarvis who was tenting on the point
