Please note for groups less than ten, there is a 100 dollar
minimum charge.
This will be fun! Join us on a walk along the shore of False Creek and discover its history and evolution from food source to industry to recreation. We’ll discover sawmills, foundries, fires and innovative housing ideas as we walk to the Blue Cabin, the latest addition to an ever changing waterway.

"The
Blue Cabin Presents: False Creek Dreaming" is the
first series of ongoing events exploring the social,
cultural, urban, Indigenous and maritime histories
of the Vancouver region.
In this series we are
exploring the length of Victoria Drive from the
waterfront of Burrard Inlet to the Fraser River. Dates
and booking thru
the Vancouver
Heritage Foundation.
It
will be a series of contrasts from an evolving
industrial landscape to older neighbourhoods thru
postwar development and expansion, down to the river.
