Saturday Forum | 1960's Vancouver: Music, Mini-skirts and Revolution

What was Vancouver's contribution to the political and social change of the 1960s? Who were the pivotal activists and agitators who shaped the city and its historical memory? In this forum, we will explore Vancouver’s vibrant and rebellious past, focusing on Kitsilano hippies, the eastside Vancouver Free University, downtown police confrontations, and the anti-war movement.
