Tour Description
Tour Host: Dan Fass
This tour traces Gibson Creek along its old course. Gibson Creek
was a major creek in the old China Creek system. It ran north-south
through the middle of Kensington-Cedar Cottage (KCC), from 41st Avenue
and Kensington Community Centre, and became part of China Creek whose
mouth was not far from VCC-Clark SkyTrain station.
The tour
goes by the original Cedar Cottage, a nursery and market gardens, and
brewery (1901) – all dependent on Gibson Creek. The tour follows Gibson
Creek as it crossed under Kingsway and Knight, flowed across the old
farm of Moses Gibson (who gave his name to Gibson Creek and “Gibby's
Field”), past Tyee Elementary School and through Gibby's Field where
Gibson Creek was joined by Davey Creek. Gibby's Field is on three city
lots which have never been developed and contains an original piece of
creek bed. The tour continues past the site of an old mink farm and
Clark Park, to Cedar Cottage Park. Much of the land along the lower
reaches of the Gibson Creek and China Creek has been used for
non-market purposes: a school, churches, non-market housing, parks, and
a community college.
Tour Host Bio
Dan Fass is part of the Gibby's Field subcommittee, a citizen's
group affiliated with the Kensington-Cedar Cottage CityPlan Committee,

Dan has produced a 32-page historical booklet about Gibson Creek that
is available as a PDF at www.vcn.bc.ca/gibbys.

Think City Tours is a project of the Think City Society.
This annual event is about providing a fun and informative way for
residents to engage with the many rich stories of the people, nature,
history, and culture of our communities.
These tours bring to life the stories that are literally at our
footsteps. Last year, volunteer guides gave 42 tours on foot or by bike
in Vancouver, Surrey, the University of British Columbia and White
Rock, attracting 1,000-plus participants.
Since 2002, the Think City Society has helped citizens understand the
issues facing their communities while developing collective solutions
to protect the environment, strengthen local economies, advance
democratic rights and ensure access to quality public services.
