The City and Shoreline Trail:
Walk the Story of Vancouver: Join The City and Shoreline Trail

The City and Shoreline Trail is a guided walking tour that traces the layered story of Vancouver’s legacy. Moving through the city's shoreline spaces, this immersive experience weaves together the deep presence of Indigenous Nations, the transformative spectacle of Expo 86, and the global energy of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

But this isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a way of seeing the city with new eyes. Along the way, we pause to reflect on how public space has evolved, who it was built for, and how we move through it today.

This summer we are offering the tour for FREE so secure your spot today!
