A Virtual Stroll in Marpole

[@heronimousbrapson863]

We lived for almost a year on Cartier street in Marpole from August,1959 to July, 1960. I was in the second grade at David Lloyd George ekementary school, and my mom used to send me to the K & S grocery for milk, bread, etc.

Just learning about the Marpole Midden, thanks for the vid! You are right, Vancouverites need to know more about its magnitude and importance. There is not enough information out there. Despicable that it is still dismissed as an old refuse heap.

Thanks for your comment Katerina! Absolutely, it is something that everyone should know about. A few links that might be helpful - the Musqueam Educational resources page includes links to a Musqueam teaching kit developed in partnership with the Museum of Anthropology as well as a Place Name Map www.musqueam.bc.ca/our-story/educational-resources/. There is also an exhibit at the Museum of Vancouver that shares the history of c̓əsnaʔəm and the Musqueam community and culture so worth a visit if you're interested in learning more museumofvancouver.ca/csnam-the-city-before-the-city/

Great research and much appreciated! I lived in Marpole twice during the early 1990's and again in the mid teens, 2000. I love the community and eclectic surroundings including businesses and live theater. If I could afford the ridiculous real estate I'd still be there.

I've been in Marpole since early 2000's and consider it my home. Marpole is a wonderful place to live. Quiet, tranquil and low crime rate. The only thing I complain about is shopping and civic facilities are really short when compared to rest of Vancouver. It is really dated I afraid.
