A nice moment capturing the true ethos of our community. A calm moment to enjoy the little things in life, a moment with friends, a nice coffee, the brisk air of fall.

Stanley Park Seawall Opening Soon

Reading the local papers today, a little tidbit of news in Vancouver's 24 Hours reveals that Vancouver Parks Board chair, Ian Robertson, has indicated the Seawall could be open to the public in two to three weeks.

The extent of the damage is not widely known by the public, having had the section cordoned off from the public. What is known is that huge chunks of the cliff-face, trees, etc., collapsed and buried a large part of the Seawall. With the clean-up and repairs almost completed, we will have the opportunity to experience the combined effects of Mother Nature's landscaping during the wind-storms and the subsequent landscaping clean-up. What will it look like?

Apparently, it won't be fully complete until the spring when the Vancouver Parks Board will close the Seawall again for a few days to give the path a proper paving.
