Looking for something to do for Father's Day? The Burnaby Village Museum is hosting a special day, just for dads, on Sunday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
"We're calling it 'come and have fun with your father,' and I guess we've kind of stereotyped fathers and cars," said Nancy Stagg, museum spokesperson. "Most guys are interested in looking at cars, even if they're not interested in what's under the hood."
Throughout the day, there will be costumes on display, filmmaking and archival footage of Burnaby for viewing, movie set memorabilia, and antique movie cameras and photos of Burnaby's early movie theatres.
The Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneer Society is putting on a classic car show, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring vintage cars from the 1920s to 1950s, and that wraps up with a parade at 3:20 p.m.
"That will be quite exciting to see them all revved up," Stagg said.
From noon to 4 p.m., there will be someone from the Squamish First Nation, demonstrating wool-weaving techniques and telling stories on the history of the nation. At 1 p.m., there's an auto shop, where volunteers work on car from the 1920s and show how it works.
Admission is free.
"The only things families will need to pay for is their carousel rides and treats from the ice-cream parlour," Stagg said.
The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. For more information, call 604-297-4565.
