Now available: Canada Line Adventures – An innovative pocket guide to the neighbourhoods surrounding Canada Line stationsVancouver’s most controversial Olympic related project, The Canada Line, is here and moving more than 100,000 residents and tourists daily. No matter where one fell in the debate, the line is complete and provides immense opportunity for personal use and recreation. Why not make the best of it?
Author Noam Dolgin has done just that, offering travellers and commuters a truly regional and eco-friendly way to experience the city. Canada Line Adventures is a fun, informative read that encourages exploration of Vancouver and Richmond by train.
For each station, readers will discover unique neighbourhood highlights, luring them to self-guide through an off-the-beaten-track adventure. Dolgin has meticulously researched, for each station, a restaurant, cafe, bar, entertainment venue, special point of interest, children’s activity, walking tour, heritage buildings, and a suggested picnic spot. A beautifully designed map of each neighbourhood, by illustrator Jedidiah Mitchell, directs users through the walking tour and neighbourhood offerings.
Growing up along Cambie Street, near what is now King Edward Station, Dolgin spent a considerable part of his childhood walking, cycling and riding the bus through the neighbourhoods now served by Canada Line. His first haircut was on Cambie Street, as well as his first sleepover and first job. When the Canada Line opened, he was delighted to help promote everything his neighbourhood had to offer. While writing the guide, he was inspired by learning more about his city.
“Minoru Park blew my mind,” said Dolgin “the Chapel, waterfall, bunnies, and so much more in the centre of Richmond, I had no idea. In my own neighbourhood, I discovered schoolhouse #472, an originally one room school now serving as someone’s backyard shed. Canada Line connects us to 16 stations, each with their own opportunity for adventure. It’s fun, eco-friendly travel in our own backyards!”
Canada Line Adventures is an innovative literary companion for locals or tourists; singles, couples and families; pedestrians, cyclists or those who have never taken transit before in their lives. These 50 information packed pages will fit in any pocket and is available for under $10. A perfect gift for your Olympic visitor! A green way to rediscover your own city.
