Here's my contribution to Vancouver history. I was staying in North Vancouver and I wanted to know how long it would take me to walk to Stanley Park over the Lions Gate Bridge. But Google Maps didn't know that was possible and kept giving me a route that took a ferry. I emailed Google and eventually they changed their map to allow pedestrians on the Lions Gate Bridge. You're welcome, Vancouverites.

I didn't know that useful charts are based in Vancouver. I appreciate this video so much. I've been living in Vancouver for 5 years now and I love it.š

For a European like me it's quite visually shocking to see a city grow with such straight boundaries.

I lived in Vancouver since I was 2, and gotta say, I didn't know most of this history and found it fascinating! We learn so much about broader Canadian history, but apparently a big gap in local Vancouver history! Thanks for the enlightenment!

Vancouver is definitely one of North America's most interesting cities, but also sadly one of, if not the most, expensive cities when incomes are accounted for.
I really hope we can all get past this housing crisis, and hopefully one day all enjoy this wonderful city :)

This video brings back a lot of dear memories, since I've been lucky enough to spend a year as an exchange student at Simon Fraser University. I literally fell in love with Vancouver and British Columbia, it became perhaps my favorite place on earth. I hope I'll be able to visit again one day. Kudos for not forgetting to talk about the history of First Nations, and about the poverty and homelessness issues of DTES. I was deeply moved by this sight of human misery each time I took the bus between Downtown and SFU. I hope things are getting better.

This is so comprehensive it should be used as curriculum in Canadian schools. Very well done. I look forward to popping into the store next time I'm home. Thank you.

This has become one of my favourite channels over the last year, and I just found out today that youāre based out of here too. As a Vancouver resident, this video was awesome, and as a proud Indigenous person, I can say that you handled the topic very well

I teach at a college for international students in Vancouver. This video will find its way to class no doubt. Thank you!

This is unexpected. Cool to change format from time to time.

Very well done! Mention Stanley Park was loaned to us by the 1st Nations, Harbour Centre used to be Eatons, Japanese Interment gathering point was PNE, in the sixties the DTES was a family place. My family dr. was at Main & Hastings. In gastown there are railway cars tracks along Water st & Cordova because they used Cable cars like SanFrancisco back then.

Will you do other Canadian Cities? This would be a cool series imo
Edit: You should cover the forgotten German named cities, towns and streets in Canada

A small oversight- Victoria actually has Canadaās oldest and for a while, biggest, Chinatown, established in 1858!
Love this video and will definitely try and make it out to your shop next time Iām in town āŗļø

I keep forgetting youre from my city, despite having met you at a convention. Im sending this to my coworkers as we work across the lower main in green areas. I love you for bringing your chart skills to this.
This needs to be part of the bc curriculum

I loved this one. There's an interesting story about why New West is not the capital. The governor was allowing the Legislative Council the final say and in both colonies there were members who hated their capitals. There was a sea captain who was going to give a speech and because he was influential, some members from Vancouver Island took him out and got him drunk. He proceed to attempt the speech but Dr. Helmeken replaced the 1st page of his pile several times until the meeting had to end.

Please do more city history videos like this. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and would love to see something similar for my city. Really appreciate how much of a focus on First Nations history went into this video.

Very well said everything. Born and raised Vancouverite, I love seeing quality local content!

Excited to watch this as someone who recently relocated to Vancouver, WA, and figured it was named after the one in Canada, I've been researching Vancouver, WA's history, and I have been meaning to research Vancouver, BC's history. Now I can do so easily, thanks! Interesting that the one in Washington was named Vancouver first. Very interesting.

L.A. native here. Just visited Vancouver with my fiancĆ©e this past July, and this video really added depth to our experiences in this gorgeous city. Thanks for the video and weāll be sure to stop by the store next time we visit the city. Keep up the good work!
