About the Event
This historical and heritage exhibition explored the Wellstead District over two weeks at the Vancouver Arts Centre. It featured a 30-minute documentary about the district, located in the eastern reaches of the City of Albany.
Through photographs, artefacts, film and personal stories, Between the Mountain and the Sea reflected on the resilience, innovation and community spirit that continued to define Wellstead. Created with the support of the City of Albany, the exhibition explored the people, places and stories that shaped one of the region’s significant agricultural districts. It also premiered a documentary capturing the memories, experiences and spirit of the Wellstead community.
Many local residents generously contributed their time and stories to the project. Although it was not possible to include every interview in the final film, all recorded material became part of the Wellstead District Historical Archive, preserving these valuable memories for future generations.
From the district’s natural landscape and First Nations heritage to its development as an important agricultural area, the exhibition brought together the many stories that shaped the Wellstead community.
