Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre

Those interested in Canadian Pacific Railway heritage should visit the Roundhouse, formerly a CPR repair shed. It now houses the handsome and highly historic Engine No 374, which trundled the first passenger train into the city in 1887. Parked in a smashing little volunteer-run museum (www.wcra.org/engine374; admission free), it’s a great trainspotter’s pit stop. On special occasions, the engine is pulled outside onto the antique turntable. The complex’s main building is a busy community center and performance space, with a wide array of shows and cultural events on offer – check the website for listings.
