Coming or Going - Raymur Pedestrian Overpass

0:00

The pedestrian bridge at Raymur Avenue was built in 1971, thanks to the perseverance of the Militant Mothers of Raymur, who blocked trains and protested so that their children could cross the tracks and safely get to school.

Crows Over Cobbles - Frances Street

0:00

Every day at dawn and dusk, thousands of crows migrate between Vancouver and their massive roost in Still Creek, Burnaby. Perhaps today they are flying over Francis Street, where granite cobbles can still be seen, a remnant of the Georgia East streetcar line of the early 1900’s.

Feels Like Freedom - The Courts

0:00

Starting in 2016, neighbourhood skaters gradually built a DIY skatepark in Britannia’s disused tennis courts. With ramps, curbs, and sometimes funky music, The Courts is a community that welcomes everyone.
