Vancouver Whitecaps FC
A special exhibit honouring the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Vancouver Whitecaps Soccer Bowl championship
Overview
It Takes A Village honours the 1979 Whitecaps squad that won the North American Soccer League title, and in doing so, captured the hearts and imagination of people across British Columbia. The exhibit will include rare 1979 season artifacts, photos, archival film footage, and interactives on the greatest season in Whitecaps history – and is appropriately named, in recognition of sportscaster Jim McKay’s observation during the Whitecaps playoff run in 1979 that, “Vancouver must be like a deserted village right now.”
