Stanley Park

This guide to Stanley Park in Vancouver traces the park's 1888 founding back to the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh village of Xwayxway that already stood on the land, and to residents like August Jack Khahtsahlano, who watched a road cut through his family's home. It follows the decades-long push to clear the park's Indigenous and mixed communities, a fight that reached the Supreme Court of Canada in 1923. Listen for what the guide finds still underfoot as you walk the seawall's cedar-lined paths.
