SPEAKERS - Fred Pepin & Mark Forsythe
40 Years of Preservation: Langley Heritage Society

The Langley Heritage Society has an impressive record of restoring heritage buildings in the Langley region; its efforts have been recognized by Heritage BC and the British Columbia Historical Federation. Society president Fred Pepin and board member Mark Forsythe will share stories of how they were restored — and the people who once lived in these buildings. From the original Francophone family to settle on Langley Prairie (Michaud House) to the classic 1915 CNR Station in Fort Langley, and the Lattimer family at Milner. They’ll also dip into local Community Stories, and highlight pioneer family names that once marked roads and streets, before the numbered system arrived in 1946. Fred has deep knowledge of what’s required to restore a house, barn or church — he’s done it all. Mark is a former CBC broadcaster who helps shape some these stories at langleyheritage.ca and has worked with local students on a series of short videos. Fred and Mark look forward to sharing what they know with the BCGS membership!

An invitation from the BCGS to the meeting, using Zoom, will be sent to members.
