Route Description:
See some of Vancouver's most iconic sights on this route. Starting in the downtown core we head towards the Seawall, passing the Inukshuk at English Bay in the West End and Sunset Beach Park. Travelling east, we visit the heritage Canadian Pacific Railway Roundhouse and the Engine 374 Display Pavilion which houses Locomotive No. 374. Continue along the Seawall to Science World, the centre of Expo 86 and also a centre piece for the 2010 Olympics. Turning back into the downtown core, we walk underneath the Georgia Viaduct, passing Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadium. The 7 km route will only go to the Roundhouse and Yaletown.
Walkers will register (sign in) at the start point between 9:30 am and 9:55 am. The walk will start at 10:00 am sharp. Please be on time; we do not wait for latecomers.
Immediately following the walk, you may wish to join some of your fellow club members for lunch at the designated eatery nearby.
NOTE: Once you have RSVP’d, our Meetup site will always show your status as “Unpaid”. This is not a cause for concern. The $1.00 participation fee for the walk is paid at the start point and to save us some work, we will not be recording on Meetup that you have paid it.
If you have any questions, please post them here on Meetup or send an email to vancouverventurers@gmail.com.
