Capilano River Regional Park

This guide to Capilano River Regional Park in Vancouver centers on October 1, 2020, when a father and his adult son were fishing along this riverbank as water suddenly surged down from the Cleveland Dam above, with no siren to warn them. You'll hear what maintenance crews were doing upstream that morning and how the city responded afterward. The guide also traces the river's longer history as Vancouver's water supply since 1889 and the hatchery built to replace the salmon runs the dam blocked.
