Join us on March 8 at 2pm for the opening reception of The Canucks: A Photo History of Vancouver's Team, an exhibition celebrating the players who have made professional hockey part of the lifeblood of our city. The exhibition spans multiple decades from the 1950s to the present, with photos from the archives of the Vancouver Sun and The Province newspapers alongside never-before-seen vintage prints from long-time Sun photographer Ralph Bower. Bower documented the Vancouver Canucks longer than any other news photographer, and has been an innovative pioneer of sports photography. Featured photographers will be in attendance.
