I may treat myself to a giant paper map of Vancouver this weekend.
My Google map of the 1986 plaques is fine (www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/e...) but there’s something very satisfying about seeing all those little markers set out together

Spent the evening with other plaque enthusiasts, celebrating 15 years of Places That Matter (the blue ovals dotted around Vancouver, commemorating the people, places and events that are often overlooked)

People of Vancouver, BC - have you seen any of these yellow plaques around?
I'm trying to find the 100 plaques that were installed for Vancouver's centennial in 1986.
I've found 27 still up and 12 that *were* up but have since been removed...
