Welcome
to the Deep Cove and Mount Seymour area. As a rapidly developing
community, it is important to understand our heritage and to develop
our sense of place and belonging.
Why did you choose to live or visit here? Was it the pull of the
sea, the lush forests and the surrounding majestic mountains that
caused our pioneers to first settle here?
|
| Our environment, so full of natural beauty, has developed from
a summer resort area to an ever-growing community. During our growth,
we have seen many changes. People, businesses and industries have
come and gone. Throughout all these changes the people who live
here have kept their strong sense of place. |

The Deep
Cove Heritage Society is there for the public, be it general
interest or research purposes. It was established in 1985 by
a dedicated group of volunteers many of whom are still with
us today. Our archives house a collection of over 2,500 photographs,
some dating back to the turn of the century, as well as manuscript
materials, maps, documents, and oral and written interviews
with the area's pioneers.
The Deep Cove Heritage Society
is located in the
Deep Cove Cultural Centre.
Office hours are:
Monday 9-11 am
Wednesday and Friday 9 am-2 pm
Sunday 11 am-4 pm
The office is open on Saturdays when a volunteer is available.
We are also open by appointment
