The West Vancouver Museum's seventh annual home tour takes place Saturday, July 14th from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and features five significant West Coast modern homes.

Tour participants will receive a complete information package with details of all tour homes when they check in.
In addition to a bus tour accompanied by an architect, a self-guided option for those who wish to drive their own vehicles is available.

Sponsored by the British Pacific Properties, a wine reception serving appetizers donated by over fifteen West Vancouver restaurants will take place immediately following the home tour.

Home tour participants will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase raffle tickets to win a limited-edition print, Tangled Beach, by Gordon Smith. The raffle winner will be announced at the reception after the tour. In addition, we will be giving away an iconic framed photograph, Graham Residence, by John Fulker (printed and signed by the photographer in 2011) to a one lucky participant.
