The southern tip of Marpole is a gateway into the lower mainland and intersects important nodes of transportation by land, air and water. Bordered by Canada’s longest river, the Fraser River — or Stó:lō in the language of the Coast Salish people — served as the main interurban transportation vein for earlier industrial and commercial developments. However, in more recent history, developments in southwest Marpole are shifting to create “high-quality” public spaces and focus on the movement of people by foot or bike, rather than motorized movement of goods. During this soundwalk, listeners will explore remnants of history, the intersection of major pathways and opposing soundscapes by the North Arm Fraser River.
