Heritage Conservation Act. The mandate of the Commission has been to advise Council on various heritage matters that are referred to it. The Commission has evolved to create programs and projects, that support heritage conservation as guided by the Official Community Plan, and approved by Council. The City of Burnaby’s Official Community Plan includes Heritage Planning as one of its goals: “To Provide opportunities for increased awareness and the conservation of the City’s unique natural, cultural, archaeological and built heritage.” 2008 ANNUAL REPORT The Community Heritage Commission has significantly advanced the City’s heritage conservation efforts in 2008 through undertaking successful projects in the areas of: HERITAGE PLANNING PROGRAM PUBLIC AWARENESS STEWARDSHIP OF CIVIC HERITAGE CITY ARCHIVES Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 |1 HERITAGE PLANNING PROGRAM: HERITAGE CONSERVATION PROJECTS Planning and Building Department staff has been monitoring protected privately-owned heritage sites in the city and ensuring their compliance with the city’s bylaws, Heritage Revitalization Agreements and national heritage conservation standards. ONEZIME AND CHARLSIE NAUD RESIDENCE 4737 Victory Street The Naud farmhouse is a unique survivor of Burnaby’s agricultural history in the South Slope neighbourhood. The Naud farmhouse is one of Burnaby’s landmark historic homes in the South Slope area of Burnaby. This two-storey residence was built in 1908 by Onezime Georges and Charlsie Elizabeth Naud who settled on this site in 1900 to develop one of Burnaby’s most prominent strawberry and fruit farms. O.G. Naud, a native of Portneuf Quebec, was also a talented stone mason who worked on many B.C. landmark structures such as the Parliament Building in Victoria, the Vancouver Post office and the New Westminster Bridge. Naud expertly constructed his home’s block foundation using granite boulders found during the clearing of lands for the farm. These rock deposits are known as “glacial erratics” and are a unique geological feature of the City’s natural landscape, having been deposited by ancient glaciers, which once covered Burnaby. Haddon House being moved into its new position, 2006. This historic photograph of the Naud family home shows the historic architectural details and will be restored as part of the Heritage Revitalization Agreement. Burnaby City Archives The Planning Department and Subdivision Approving Officer worked with the property owner to prepare a suitable plan of subdivision and development utilizing an HRA and panhandled lot to allow for the creation of two separate lots. A new front lot provided for the construction of a new single-family dwelling following the requirements of the R5 Residential District. The second lot provides for the retention and designation by bylaw of the existing Naud House as a City heritage site. In 2008, the property owner completed a number of repairs and the repainting of this house following the adopted conservation plan. 2 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 HERITAGE PLANNING PROGRAM: HERITAGE CONSERVATION PROJECTS JACOB AND MARGARET WYSONG HOUSE The rustic stonework required reconstruction using the special skills of a master stonemason. 6325 Sperling Avenue The Wysong House is one of Burnaby’s landmark residential heritage buildings. It was constructed and occupied in 1912 by local contractor Jacob Wysong and his wife Margaret. Its significance is based in part on its unique location at Sperling Avenue and Stanley Street that was developed as a speculative subdivision, created and marketed as part of the pre-World War I real estate boom. It is one of the oldest homes remaining in the Brantford School neighbourhood and represents a significant period of Burnaby’s urban development history. The Arts and Crafts design of the residence is unusual and includes massive foundations, chimneys, verandah columns and stairs constructed from rough cut granite and field stones. The large scale of the home is atypical of the speculative building boom of the era and is one of few examples of its type remaining in South Burnaby. The Wysong House with its rustic granite verandah is a landmark of the Brantford School neighbourhood. In 2005, Council approved a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) in order to preserve and protect a significant heritage building known as the Wysong House located at 6325 Sperling Avenue. As part of a number of HRA conditions the property owner committed to restore and repair the stone and masonry verandah and staircase of the designated heritage residence. The owner submitted a conservation plan suitable for approval of the required Heritage Alteration Permit from the Heritage Commission and Council. In 2008 the property owner undertook a significant project to repair and restore the massive stonework which was completed with care and a dedication to ensure that the heritage values of the building were protected. Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 |3 PUBLIC AWARENESS: PROJECTS HOUSE PLAQUES Owner and operator of the Haddon House Bed & Breakfast, Johannes Stolz, poses proudly with the new City of Burnaby Heritage Building plaque. The Community Heritage Commission annually operates a plaque program for designated heritage buildings to ensure the manufacture and installation of the city’s unique bronze plaques. These heritage plaques have an important role in the overall City Heritage Program as they visually mark the heritage building and indicate the city’s legal protection. The plaque also conveys the special interest and pride that the community retains in these historic sites as well as serving an interpretive role to convey the name of the original owner and the building’s construction date. Single family residential properties receive the plaques without charge while multi-family and commercial property owners fund their property’s plaque as part of the negotiated Heritage Revitalization Agreements. In 2008 Burnaby staff installed plaques on the following heritage properties: Angus and Margaret McDonald House 1909 3814 Oxford Street Onezime & Charlsie Naud House 1908 4737 Victory Street St. John the Divine Church 1905 3891 Kingsway St. John the Divine Church is one of the buildings now graced with a new City of Burnaby Heritage Plaque. 4 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 PUBLIC AWARENESS: PROJECTS BURNABY REMEMBERS In 2005, Burnaby’s Community Heritage Commission established a comprehensive list of its war dead and city residents that served in the armed forces during World War II. The World War II Roll of Honour and the World War I Roll of Honour were displayed during November, 2008 in the foyer of City Hall. These projects and the annual civic observance of Remembrance Day have been organized annually under the project name “Burnaby Remembers” which has been advanced by the Community Heritage Commission. The Heritage Program coordinated the advertising of all of Burnaby’s Remembrance Day events with the local media. The Burnaby NewsLeader newspaper partnered with the Community Heritage Commission to present a special colour supplement “Courage Remembered” on November 10, 2008. City staff prepared a full page “Burnaby Remembers” advertisement which listed all of Burnaby’s known war dead from both World War I and World War II. Members of Burnaby’s Royal Canadian Legions pose with the Burnaby Honour Roll to launch Poppy Week, November 2008. RIVERS TO SEA HISTORICA FAIR – BURNABY HERITAGE AWARD The Rivers to Sea Regional Historica Fair was organized by and held at Burnaby Village Museum on May 2-3, 2008. It involved schools from the Burnaby School Board and the Conseil Scolaire Francophone.

This Provincial level award recognized outstanding individual achievement to the protection and promotion of community heritage. Pixie McGeachie is one of those community volunteers that has always championed a cause and worked quietly but with dedication to the task. Pixie has dedicated over 30 years of her skills to preserve, promote and celebrate the heritage & history of Burnaby and British Columbia. and was successful in leading the charge to preserve many historic sites throughout the city. During this time she never retired from the real hands-on work. She served as the Community Archives volunteer archivist for twenty years for the historical society. Because of her determination she succeeded in gathering thousands of rare and valuable historic photographs and documents of the City’s history. This archive was recently donated by the Society to the City Archives and now forms the core of the new Heritage Burnaby website’s photograph collection. A resident of Burnaby for over 60 years Pixie was first drawn to the history of Burnaby while she served as the editor for the Burnaby Examiner newspaper. She developed a keen interest in writing about history developing columns and books throughout a successful career as an author. She has written numerous newspaper columns and articles that appeared in local newspapers and publications as varied as Pixie McGeachie the original Vancouver Book, Westworld and Pioneer News. Pixie authored her first Burnaby book in 1974 titled “Bygones of Burnaby” which was one of the first to develop anecdotal stories about pioneer life in this community. In 1991 she was selected to author “Burnaby – A Proud Century” which celebrated the City’s centennial in 1992. In 2002 she also wrote a biography of the city’s namesake in the book “Land of Promise: Robert Burnaby’s letters from Colonial B.C.” One of Pixie’s most valuable contributions was taking charge of Friends of Interurban 1223 just when the project to restore one of the last interurban trams needed a leader. The project reached far into the community through working partnerships with a variety of businesses, collectors and other restoration groups. The Friends volunteers contributed over 20,000 volunteer hours to this project and have generated over $550,000 in cash and in-kind support. She saw this project through to completion with accolades and a Heritage BC project award in 2006 for the tremendous community and volunteer commitment that Pixie was able to rally to the cause. The City of Burnaby has recognized all of Pixie’s efforts with a special heritage award and through honouring her with the Kushiro Cup as ‘Citizen of the year in 2002. Pixie has also contributed many hours volunteering to establish Burnaby’s first museum Heritage Village in 1971. She has always been a force within the Burnaby Historical Society, serving as President from 1991-1993. Pixie served a six year term on Burnaby’s Community Heritage Commission Pixie McGeachie’s lifetime of commitment and dedication to the heritage of British Columbia was recognized by Heritage BC when the Ruby Nobb Award was presented at their annual conference banquet held at Fort Langley in 2008. Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 |7 CIVIC STEWARDSHIP OF HERITAGE The Community Heritage Commission has supported and reviewed several conservation projects for city-owned heritage building and sites in Deer Lake Park, which is Burnaby’s largest and most significant heritage precinct. CEPERLEY MANSION CHIMNEY CONSERVATION PROJECT BEFORE: Over time, the Ceperley Mansion billiard room chimney had lost its distinctive Arts and Crafts styled stone chimney cap and significant deterioration of mortar was apparent. AFTER: The billard room chimney cap restored. The Ceperley Mansion is one of the City of Burnaby’s landmark heritage buildings which is now home to the Burnaby Art Gallery. Built in 1911, the mansion building was designed in the English Arts and Crafts style and is a significant architectural example of its type. On the exterior, the rustic style is seen in the use of natural materials such as cedar shingles and siding, cobblestone foundations and chimneys and the half timbering in gable ends. The splendid hand pegged front door of two inch oak and leaded glass windows all attest to the quality of materials and workmanship used during its construction. The mansion has five cobblestone chimneys which all form a significant aspect of the mansion’s architecture. Three of these chimneys rise 3½ stories and are sited at the exterior walls. The exposed chimney walls are clad entirely with rustic field and cobble stones. A fourth 1 ½ storey chimney is located at the south kitchen wing of the structure is also exposed at the gable end to form a decorative exterior stone element. The fifth and largest of the chimneys is located on the west wall of the Billiard Room wing of the mansion. This large structure forms a full 1½ storey wall with decorative battlements and elements which provide a significant aspect of the building’s character. This chimney originally included a decorative stone chimney cap, which was removed in the 1930s, and was restored as part of this conservation project. 8 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 CIVIC STEWARDSHIP OF HERITAGE The Ceperley Mansion “Fairacres”, 1911. City Archives As part of the City’s Heritage Program and building maintenance program, the chimneys were assessed by a qualified conservation architect and engineer to determine their condition and to provide any recommended conservation actions. While the chimneys are currently in good structural condition, it was recommended that the City take some immediate conservation actions to repair mortar, cap and flashing conditions which have been identified as posing a future risk to the ongoing preservation of the chimneys and building. The conservation work identified includes a thorough cleaning of moss and mineral deposits on the masonry, mortar re-pointing, chimney cap restoration, and lead flashing repair and replacement. If left unattended, some of these conditions could lead to water infiltration into the building and wood rot, stone damage or loss, and chimney cap damage. Previous rock masonry re-pointing with hard Portland cement has created significant masonry conservation problems necessitating re-pointing of a large area of rock work to repair the damaged areas. A proper re-pointing mortar is key to the structural integrity of the chimneys and general exterior envelope performance. The repairs identified for these chimneys are considered to be a conservation priority. Approximately 50% of the exterior stonework of the mansion was conserved as part of this project and has significantly improved its overall condition and heritage value. The project required all cement mortar to be chiselled out and replaced. Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 |9 The restored chimneys are now a beautiful element of Ceperley Mansion. CIVIC STEWARDSHIP OF HERITAGE VORCE TRAM STATION In this historic photograph, taken in 1953, tram 1233 has stopped at Vorce Station at the foot of Nursery Street. Burnaby Village Museum BEFORE: The Vorce Station after its relocation to the Museum did not reflect its original elegant design and features. The Vorce Tram Station is a small passenger shelter, which was originally constructed in 1911 as part of the British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) Company’s Burnaby Lake Interurban Line. It was named in honour of C.B. Vorce, the BCER engineer in charge of the line’s construction. The Vorce Tram Station is typical of the small local passenger stations that existed on the Burnaby Lake and Chilliwack interurban lines. Vandalism and deterioration of the original Vorce Station structure led to its alteration by the B.C. Electric Railway Company in the later 1940s. The renovation of the station removed many of the unique Edwardian architectural features that distinguished this structure for its purpose as a passenger shelter. Upon the closure of the interurban line (now the site of the Trans-Canada Highway) in 1953, the station was relocated from the foot of Nursery Street to the ‘Lubbock Farm’ at Canada Way and Haszard Street for use as a granary shed. In 1977, the station was identified for preservation and relocated to Burnaby Village Museum. In 1992, this significant heritage building was formally protected by Burnaby Heritage Site Designation Bylaw, No. 9807 The heritage value of the Vorce Tram Station lies in its survival as the last-known rural interurban station in British Columbia. These structures were once a ubiquitous feature of the extensive British Columbia Electric Railway interurban system. The heritage significance for this station also lies in its interpretive value as an important cultural feature of Burnaby’s transportation history in association with the recent restoration of Interurban 1223 and the construction and opening of a new tram barn at Burnaby Village Museum. 10 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 CIVIC STEWARDSHIP OF HERITAGE As part of the construction of the new tram barn for Interurban 1223, the relocation of the Vorce Tram Station on the site of Burnaby Village Museum was advanced to the Community Heritage Commission for approval of a Heritage Alteration Permit and works in 2007. Provision was made for the installation of the station onto a new concrete foundation with a wood plank platform. The relocation of the Vorce Tram Station provided an opportunity to complete its restoration. The Heritage Commission and Council approved a capital plan to restore the station which was completed in 2008. The beautifully restored station will serve as the entrance platform for Interurban 1223 on the occasions when it is displayed outdoors and provides additional interpretation opportunities to the museum site. The station’s canopy is formed by graceful curved roof bracing. AFTER: The restored Vorce station and its platform at Burnaby Village Mvuseum. The station was repainted in its historic colours from 1911.

MISSION STATEMENT The Holdom residence “Dunsford House” Hastings Street, Capitol Hill, 1911. Photograph by J.W. Phillips. City Archives (Roland Cretain collection). The mission of the City of Burnaby Archives is to protect and preserve the rights of the City of Burnaby and its citizens by safeguarding the records which document those rights and to provide leadership and innovation in the management of private records which supplement the official corporate memory. The City of Burnaby Archives strives to help build a modern public service by managing the information critical to the operation of the government and to make these vital resources universally accessible.

City Archives (Roland Cretain collection). 12 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 CITY ARCHIVES 2008 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 started off on a high note for the City of Burnaby Archives with the launch of the Heritage Burnaby website (www.heritageburnaby.ca) during Heritage Week in February. This website is a user-friendly interface that allows the public entry into all of the City’s heritage resources. While the City Archives has been busy working on this project for the past two years, in many ways, the impetus for it began over 50 years ago. When the Burnaby Historical Society formed in 1957, they had as one of their goals the desire to see Burnaby’s history preserved and made available to every citizen. As a result, resources such as the Burnaby Village Museum, the Heritage Planning Program as well as the City Archives were fostered, allowing for the collection and creation of a vast and diverse treasury of historic artifacts, records, photographs, landmarks and other material. Under the guidance of the Community Heritage Commission and with the support of City Council, this year saw Burnaby’s heritage collections organized, arranged and consolidated into one easy-to-use and award-winning website. While this project was certainly a highlight for the year, the City Archives was busy with all areas of operation and the following report provides a brief summary of our achievements in 2008. The Hastings streetcar line was built to connect Capitol Hill to Vancouver, 1914. Photograph by J.W. Phillips. City Archives (Roland Cretain collection). ARCHIVAL RECORDS PROGRAM In 2001, when the City of Burnaby Archives was first opened, the mandate for its archival records program was directly connected to the overall records management program that is administered by the Office of the City Clerk. As such, the archives was established to function as the final repository for all records created by the City that were deemed to have permanent value whether it be for administrative, financial, legal or informational purposes. By 2007, this mandate had been expanded to include records created by private groups, organizations and people and the City began collecting records that illustrated the history and development of our community as well as our civic government.

City Archives (Roland Cretain collection). In 2008, we saw our collection grow to include photographs, records and other memorabilia of numerous families and groups who helped shape Burnaby’s history. In September, we were thrilled to receive an entire collection of glass plate negatives taken by one of Burnaby’s first known amateur photographers, J. W. Phillips. Discovered by Roland Cretain at a garage sale many years ago and donated to the archives by his family in 2008, this glass plate collection includes over one hundred negatives and is an amazing look at early life in North Burnaby. It contains rare and never before seen images of the streetcar, construction crews, the Holdom House, classes at the Howard Avenue school and many other views and early Burnaby residents. It is without doubt, among the most important historic photograph collections of Burnaby that has ever been found. Staff are currently processing these images and plan to have them publically available on our website in 2009. OTHER PROJECTS AND HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2008 The Heritage Burnaby website has received a great deal of attention, both from within our community and from individuals and groups throughout British Columbia. The project received a Provincial award from the Heritage Society of B.C. and the B.C. Historical Federation’s BC History Journal published a feature article about it to call attention to the work being done in Burnaby. Archives staff were also requested to participate in the B.C. Digitization Symposium held in December to discuss initiatives in support of digitization projects focused on local heritage content and educational materials. Throughout 2008, a number of other projects were completed in conjunction with, and in preparation for, the launch of “Heritage Burnaby” online. These included: 14 | Burnaby Community Heritage Commission Annual Report 2008 CITY ARCHIVES • 4000 additional photographs scanned and described and prepared to be made available online • Creation of databases to make Council Reports and City Bylaws available for public search and reference online. • Indexing another ten years of Council Reports to allow for online searching of reports dating back to 1935. In addition to these activities, the Archives began what we hope will be the start of a series of “Open Houses” for the public to experience and access our archival holdings. In October, the City Archives in cooperation with the McGill Branch Library hosted a special “Seniors Tea” and Burnaby seniors were invited to attend a showcase of historic photographs and displays from the City Archives and the Burnaby Historical Society. Additional open houses are being planned for 2009. As well, throughout 2008, the Archives saw another increase in research requests and visitors to our facilities, growing by more than 10% over 2007. None of these achievements would have been possible without the full support of the Community Heritage Commission and City Council. Resources were provided to allow a temporary full-time archival assistant position which was integral to our programming and projects throughout the year. CONCLUSION With the Heritage Burnaby website now entering its second year, the staff at the archives, along with their heritage partners, have already started planning for the next phases of development that will allow users more opportunities for interaction and participation in the creation and presentation of our resources. The “Burnaby Exchange” as it is being dubbed, will be a new application that will allow members of our community the chance to contribute to the website and engage in information sharing and developing heritage content for the benefit of all those who use the site. The City Archives has as its core mission the protection, preservation and promotion of the vital heritage resources that document the growth, development and changing nature of our community. With continued support and direction from the Community Heritage Commission and City Council, we have built upon our successes from previous years and will endeavour to continue this work throughout the year to come.
