Stanley Park's Secret

Officially opened in 1888, Stanley Park was born alongside the city of Vancouver, so it is easy to assume that the park was a pristine wilderness when it was first created. But, no, it was imposed on existing ways of life. Working in collaboration with descendants, Jean Barman skilfully weaves together family stories with archival documents, Vancouver Parks Board records and court proceedings to reveal a troubling, yet deeply important facet of BC's history.
