Deep Cove Heritage Society
Preserving the stories of Deep Cove and its surrounding neighbourhoods
Welcome
Deep Cove Heritage Society was established in 1985 by a dedicated group of volunteers, to create a home for memories and to record and retain the stories of the people who live in the neighbourhoods east of the Seymour River in the District of North Vancouver.

Walking Tour
The Deep Cove Heritage Society has set out a walking tour for you to experience some of the places that makes Deep Cove the wonderful seaside community it is today.
From a War Canoe of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation to the location where squatter shacks once housed Malcolm Lowry – there’s a lot to discover about Deep Cove and Seymour’s history.
Looking ahead
As we move forward, the Society continues to include digital documentation through our Hub photo archive and website. Major projects include updates to the Heritage website to allow inclusion of the student interviews, historical recordings, and presentations.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the waters and the mountains, future plans include more outreach within our communities, learning and gathering the histories of all peoples who have made their homes here.
Volunteers are always needed. The work of the Society requires time and skills of many people. Whether an interest in history or a desire to learn about the stories of the Seymour area, everyone is welcome.
