Awesome rare footage!

Most of the people in this video are long gone by now, as well as those cars.

It'd be cool to see some footage of Joe Fortes, if there is any.

Vancouver is the best. I miss the totem poles.......

Make sure Aaron Jasper  watches this video so he might be able to understand what he's supposed to be protecting as a Park Board member.

Great, and in colour! Thanks.  I'm curious to know where you found this and how it was transferred to digital.

This is a treasure! Thank you for putting it all together - I'll be emailing it to my grandparents - they'll love it!! Maybe they're even in some of it, or know someone who is ;)

PS. I think alot of these activities should be brought back & encouraged, like the Soap Box derby, but not with new technology - it's all got to stay the way it was.

I especially loved seeing people bringing their dogs to the bathing beaches and a swimmable Trout Lake!
