When it belonged to the people who actually built it, & not the gross parasite squatters.

Victoria: _‘Home of the newly-wed and the nearly dead.’_ Not any more, it isn't.

Life on the West Coast sure was boring. Come to think of it, it still is.

Amazing video. Thank you so much for posting👍

What's with the music??

Wonder who the family is. I have a suspicion they might be Finnish immigrants.

No rainbow flags anywhere! ❤

Lol, whoever watches this never having lived in Vancouver before doesn't realize it was filmed during the only 2 weeks in the year when it's warm and sunny (plus the one day in winter when it's not raining) XD

The seagulls would follow the ships because it was common practice to dump the galley scraps over the side. BC Ferries kitchen crews used to do this until about 40 years ago. After this practice was eliminated the birds stopped following the ships.

Duck my ceck

just before my 9th birthday we sat spell bound watching this event on our tv. they tunnelled under the ocean and up into the pinnacle and laid tons of explosives. having live events brought into your living room was still relatively new and exciting.

Let it be known that this project was accomplished mostly by men, men with vision, courage, and above all, cahones, muchos cahones!!

No Internet, no social media, no cell phones….. back at a time when people actually socialized with each other instead of electronics. Life wasn’t rushed back then. it was just simply….a good life to live.

So does this guy get his wife in every shot?

Read "sold out behind the backs of the naïve residents" Betrayed to foreign business interests.

Wow the title picture of this film is incredible, that looks like the original riverscape of the Capilano before the dam and reservoir came to be.

S-bend is at 15th and Oak. You see the drivers passing a schedule as they pass! East side of Oak St. at 33rd heading South was still forested. Oakridge Mall was not completed til 1959. So that area was not much deforested until Eric Hamber School was built in 1962. South side of Oak past Shaughnessy was not much developed at that time!

"...it is ALWAYS sunny"! Whaaaaat? Hahahaha. Seriously though, it is a beautiful city.

By the time I got there in the 80’s that was all full.

I live on Vancouver island so this is interesting for me

This is what every city needs. A white man with a set. Stop letting the patients run the asylums. He's describing every lefty today by the way. God bless this man.

Expo opened the door to Asian investment in real estate. The provincial Liberals welcomed the money launderers. And now the federal Liberals have given up even controlling mass immigration. BC is unliveable, unless you’re rich. And even if you’re rich you have to dodge homeless people, junkies, and south Asian gang shootings. Beautiful BC, indeed.

Actually "miniature", or possibly 1/8th Ride-On' ?! 😮 "G-gauge may not RULE, But it GROWS on Ya!! ". djc'99

4:05 My oh my how the Ladysmith yard has changed

"The Highrise". I lived on the 10th floor in my early 20s. My family moved to Nanaimo in October, 1967. This is the Nanaimo of my youth!

now you cant even go outside without the risk of a homeless meth head doing something to you

Thank you for sharing your memories. Your family was elegant and thoughful.

SURE BRINGS A LOT OF MEMORIES!!!!!~~~~~~

I’m homesick for my home town . Been living here for 35 years and it’s just no longer the same city. My hometown of Vancouver no longer feels like home.

My personal attraction to being or wanting to be a Hippie was the Openness and Freedom that I believed I saw compared to an Alternative that I felt was restrictive (sex only within marriage); and many people in so-called Straight society I found to be unkind and judgmental;

pretty dull.

Now it's mostly gone to affluent foreigners who bought up the real estate, pushing out regular citizens to the more affordable outskirts of this once paradise. International GENTRIFICATION brought on by our own ambitious Governernment sponsored Tourism/Realestate mob....:+[

The Long Beach clips .... I was in the bed of a pickup truck swerving its way down the beach. I anticipated the truck rolling over and jumped out. It rolled shortly after I bailed out. Some of the guys in the truck got hurt - broken arms etc. If my memory serves me (not always the case), I think Pat Squire (son of the MLA) was the driver.

:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharing! Grew up at that time, and remember my Dad taking me fishing in a rental boat from Sewells at Horsehoe Bay :) ALL the BEST and Cheers! ! !

too bad about the quality and cutoff, cool still

yeah, audio is great

No tats. No piercings(other than earings)!

One of the best tv moments in Canada ever.

Used to visit the relatives in the 70-80s. It was a great place prior to Expo 86.

Vancouver has fallen so far.

Oh my! Thanks for this post. My Oak Street, my 17 route. My, it's changed!

Doesn't anyone ever ask themselves what happened to the indigenous people that were displaced. As usual we aren't included in your history because then people would have to write the truth. Shameful.

Wish I could crank the time back

8:24 is Collingwood West stop at Rupert. This was an elevated stop.

7:27 to 7:40 is the Central Park stop. This is at Kingsway and Smith.

I was here in Vancouver BC in September 1985 for a medical exam. It was so laid back, people were happyer nicer, kinder, and you could talk to anyone, now nobody wants to be next to you let alone look at you, the only ones now that do look at you is a narcissist that's jealous of you even though it's the very first time he or she seen you. Now Vancouver is just full of dumb people with zero IQ, and the worst drivers ever. Just plain dumb now.😔😔😔🤨🤨😳

Very informative watching Vancouver deal with a different kind of housing crisis 60 years ago.

Bygone era...

In 72 we did a similar trip to VI, I remember swimming at Crystal gardens and of course a visit to Butchart gardens. The Island isn't what is used to be that's for sure.
