About Us

The Hollyburn Heritage Society was formed in 1998 with two main goals in mind:

1. To restore Hollyburn Ski Lodge for future generations to enjoy, and

2. To collect, assemble, catalogue and share the history of Vancouver's North Shore mountains; in particular, Hollyburn, Black, and Strachan.
