About the Event
A historical and heritage exhibition exploring the Wellstead District will be presented over two weeks at the Vancouver Arts Centre. The exhibition will feature a 30-minute documentary showcasing 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 reflects on the resilience, innovation and community spirit that continue to define Wellstead today.
Created with the support of the City of Albany, the exhibition explores the people, places and stories that have shaped one of the region’s most significant agricultural districts. It will also premiere a new documentary capturing the memories, experiences and spirit of the Wellstead community.
Many local residents generously contributed their time and stories to the project. While it was not possible to include every interview in the final film, all recorded material will become part of the Wellstead District Historical Archive, preserving these valuable memories for future generations.
From its natural landscape and First Nations heritage to its development as an important agricultural district, Between the Mountain and the Sea brings together the many stories that have shaped the Wellstead community.
