Your Talaysay cultural ambassador guide will share our ecological practices, ancient and contemporary history, stories, legends and Indigenous ways of living (knowing) with you.”

PROGRAM DETAILS
Accessibility notes: This program will move at a gentle/moderate pace with minimal inclines on some uneven surfaces, on sidewalks and gravel paths. The route is downhill to the entrance of Beaver Lake. At Beaver Lake, it is a mostly flat path, though there is a ~5cm ridge at the culvert on the north side of the lake, which may not be navigable in a mobility device. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca
This program will meet at the Bus Loop near the Stanley Park Pavilion and Railway Parking Lot. See location here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cq32fiyHXqojjnVS7 . Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign in.

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