IN-PERSON WORKSHOP

Explore Stanley Park from the perspective of mapping. This program will delve into how various types of maps shape our understanding of the park and influence its physical landscape. You will gain insights into the history of the park through maps, and how different applications of mapping have shaped this urban landscape. As we walk through the park, we will create our own maps that tell stories about our experiences. The program is led by our Community Engagement Coordinator, Chris Rothery. He has degrees in Environmental Studies, and Landscape Architecture, which both deal heavily with the use of maps in understanding and designing our environment. 

PROGRAM DETAILS

Accessibility notes: This program will start indoors while seated, on the second floor which is unfortunately only accessible by stairs. We will then go outside to walk along trails at a moderate pace with moderate inclines on some uneven surfaces, stopping to draw at various locations. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca    

This program will meet at the Stanley Park Pavilion at the Stanley Park Ecology Society office (610 Pipeline Rd) on the second floor in the Salmonberry Room. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to check-in.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
