Vancouver's beachside neighbourhood Kitsilano is examined and analyzed in this well-illustrated lecture to the Vancouver Historical Society by Michael Kluckner, beginning with the Sen̓áḵw indigenous village at the mouth of False Creek. Kitsilano's notable characters and housing are described over a century of development and returning to the mini-city now being built on a portion of the old Indian Reserve and the high-rises proposed for its the long-settled streets.
