Following on the wonderful success of our book Women of Pender Harbour: Their Voices, Their History, we are working on heritage signage, a web-based database of information, and a collection of material for preservation and display in a heritage centre and archives.

As we gather photographs and other historical material, the P. H. Living Heritage Society is building an important collection that will be the foundation of our efforts to preserve Pender Harbour history for future generations.

Please help us save our Harbour memories! Find out how you can help...
