A Virtual Stroll around Cedar Cove

Explore local history and heritage from home with local historian, author and seasoned walking tour guide, John Atkin. This virtual walking tour will feature the neighbourhood of Cedar Cove.

The area of Cedar Cove was characterized by very large cedar trees and was long known and used by the Tsleil-Waututh. Non-native settlement began with the extraction of the trees that gave the area its name. Soon, a post office, a brewery and two huge sawmills occupied the cove. Japanese, Chinese, Sikh and other settlers called the area home. This virtual tour will explore this diverse neighbourhood and find remnants of the earlier community.
