All are welcome to this casual get-together to nature journ al in these two parks near MacDonald St and Point Grey Road. “Centuries ago\, the stream originally known as ‘First Creek’ flowed north from w hat is now West 20th Avenue through Tatlow and Volunteer parks\, before en tering English Bay. \;Tatlow Creek is a culturally significant place f or the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations due to its proximity to a densely populated coastal village. Over time\, as a result of coloni al practices and urban development\, Tatlow Creek\, like many of Vancouver 's streams and creeks\, was buried and lost to history.” (https://vancou ver.ca/news-calendar/first-creek-restored-as-part-of-tatlow-park-renewal-j uly-2024.aspx) \;\n\n\n\nIn 2016\, the Vancouver Park Board and City E ngineering team\, began work to daylight the creek and connect it to Engli sh Bay while also improving the public’s access to the beach and shoreli ne.
