Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Once
upon
a
time
there
was
a
garbage
dump
in
my
riding
of
Vancouver
face
of
you
on
the
unseated
territory
of
the
coastalis
peoples,
a
40
hectare
or
100
Acre
property
that
borders
Burnaby,
City
to
the
east
coast,
Street
to
the
west
and
Fraser
River
to
the
South,
an
area
one
time
the
size
of
Sandy
Park
that
was
Vancouver's
garbage
dump
for
almost
a
quarter
Century
until
1967.
When
city
council
came
to
his
senses,
enclosed
it,
the
landfill
was
the
commissioned
uncovered
with
five
feet
of
fill
to
cap,
the
entire
area
and
left
alone.
A
As
vegetation
start
growing
in
the
area,
it
became
a
popular
destination
for
Motocross
Riders.
Many
ideas
were
proposed
for
the
land,
but
nothing
permanent
panned
out
in
the
middle
mid
1980s,
the
Vancouver
Natural
History
Society
recommended
the
area
to
be
a
low
development
natural
park,
and
the
curb
committee
was
founded
in
1987.
Vancouver
Park
was
started,
work
on
the
site,
building
a
small
parking
lot,
some
walking
trails
and
Viewpoint
and
named
It
Everett
Crowley
Park
in
honor
of
the
owner
of
Evelyn
Dairy,
which
was
Vancouver's
last
independent
Dairy
Everett
Coley
also
served
as
Vancouver
Park.
A
Commissioner,
from
1961
to
1966
were
Charmed,
the
garbage
dump
was
re-fosted
by
local
vegetation
invade
species.
Vancouver
Park
Board,
along
with
the
community,
took
great
efforts
in
planting
thousands
of
native
trees
and
wild
flowers
and
to
attract
pollinator
bees.
Since
2002
there
were
annual
Earth
Day
planting
activities
and
celebration
in
park.
I
recall
former
Vancouver
Mayor
Sam
sovereigns
Sam
Sullivan's
found
the
same
when
I
was
on
Council.
If
everyone
lives
in
the
world
like
Vancouver,
we
need
three
herbs.
Thank
you,
member.
