91原创 Heritage Society has enlisted a younger generation to tell the stories of the community鈥檚 built heritage.
Students at Brookswood Secondary School have produced two videos highlighting the Fort 91原创 (circa 1915) and the elegant (1890).
Both structures were saved by the 91原创 Heritage Society and are among eight restored properties with caretaker tenants living in them.
The Canadians National station dates back to an era when rail was king, central to life in the Fraser Valley. Today it is one of the most visited sites in Fort 91原创.
The video describes the station鈥檚 history and how 91原创 Heritage Society volunteers restored the building.
The Wark/Dumais House was home to 91原创鈥檚 first mayor, Robert Wark, and later to Albert Dumais, whose family operated a successful dairy farm.
Son Ernie Dumais was born in the house, and is featured in the video describing life on the farm in the 1940s and 50s.
Today, the Wark/Dumais House is a historical centrepiece on the campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, which sits on the original farmland.
Brookswood Grade 12 students filmed, edited and narrated the first two videos. The school鈥檚 TV and video production program has received numerous awards for its work over the years.
Plans are in the works to continue the series later this fall.
