This surely isn't the usual long weekend of the summer! Pride took place today only online and not in a colourful, downtown parade. We didn't head to Vancouver at all. In fact, I don't think we've taken the SkyTrain since returning to the region at the end of March.
I opened Google Maps again with the goal of finding additional parkland which is near but that we've never seen. Last Sunday, we went a little ways upriver. Today, we drove just a bit down Marine Way in search of a bit of more green along the river. We found that almost the entire Fraser River shore of Burnaby is accessible by a trail. We didn't walk far but were quite near Boundary Road. Blackberry bushes had been cut back, but we still managed to eat some during the little walk. Large housing developments are spilling over the hill from Vancouver and Burnaby. I guess it's good that in a formerly industrial area, river access has been maintained for the public.
