Vanier Park

This guide to Vanier Park in Vancouver starts on a July morning in 1913, when a barge pulled up to the shoreline and the Squamish families of Senakw were told to board it. It follows what happened to the village while they were adrift, and to one of its children, August Jack Khatsahlano, who later told a city archivist everything he remembered. You'll also hear how the empty land became a park named for a wartime general, and what a 2001 court settlement finally returned. Listen while facing the water, toward where the old shoreline once stood.
