An ear on shifting corridors of movement.

Tickets

Cost: Free

Led by Leona Noche
Meeting Location: Fraser River Trail, under Arthur Laing Bridge (9149 Hudson Street)
Travel Directions: Once you get onto Hudson Street from SW Marine Drive, keep walking south (towards the river) and walk past the Vancouver Transit Center on your right side (Marpole Bus Loop is the closest for transit and free street parking is available on Hudson Street).

The southern tip of Marpole is a gateway into the lower mainland and intersects important nodes of transportation by land, air and water. Bordered by Canada’s longest river, the Fraser River — or Stó:lō in the language of the Coast Salish people — served as the main interurban transportation vein for earlier industrial and commercial developments. However, in more recent history, developments in SW Marpole are shifting to create “high-quality” public spaces and focuses on the movement of people by foot or bike, rather than motorized movement of goods. During this soundwalk, listeners will explore remnants of history, the intersection of major pathways and opposing soundscapes by the North Arm Fraser River.

This Soundwalk will end in a different location than its starting point.
This Soundwalk is part of Culture Days 2017.
