Welcome to Walk Metro Vancouver’s Home Page!

Our welcome would not be complete without honouring two pioneers of making communities walkable-this is the late Pat Davis with her son John Davis. Over four decades the Davis Family stewarded the 100 block of West Tenth Avenue streetscape in Mount Pleasant, Vancouver.  Mrs. Davis would be out sweeping the street early in the morning, and worked tirelessly planting and maintaining the stunning boulevards for all passersby to enjoy.

When first developed in the 1970’s, Vancouver’s False Creek South was remarkable in that the focus of movement throughout the development was on the seawall.The seawall is the walkable bikeable spine of the neighbourhood, providing safe and comfortable walking to and from school, shopping and services.

The Fraser River Greenway Trail along the Fraser River from Marpole still needs to be completed, as one private golf course has not allowed the City of Vancouver access along the riverfront. This is a spectacular walk along a working river in a special area of great historical importance to the Musqueam First Nation.
