False Creek is a cherished centrepiece of Vancouver, for locals and tourists alike. But, it is also often maligned as being dangerously polluted and devoid of its historically vibrant marine ecology.
On this podcast (recorded on-location in False Creek), we're platforming expert conversations to foster a deeper, mutual relationship between people and urban waterways, and amplify local voices shaping public policy.
As beautiful as False Creek is today, we know it could be so much more tomorrow. As the former site of heavy industry, these waters have been recognized as needing significant rehabilitation for almost a century. We dream of a False Creek that is safely swimmable, resilient to rising sea levels, an embodiment of Indigenous and community co-governance, and a place of thriving human culture and biodiversity.
Not only is a better False Creek possible, its responsible stewardship will lead to myriad co-benefits for the people of Vancouver: improving public mental and physical health, fostering climate change resilience, and furthering reconciliation with Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
