“In the days before the City of Vancouver grew on the land of the Salish, the narrowing of the inlet now marked by the Lions Gate Bridge was an area that was teeming with schools of herring and the orcas that chased them for food. The area was rich with eagles and salmon, and rich with the culture and traditions of the Salish people. It was, and still is, a site of great energy and enormous significance to the Salish.” - Susan Point
