- I didn't strain myself on this one and just took info from the jubilee booklet. The map contradicts the text by pinpointing the starting point west of Cambie, not between Cambie and Main. I think the Regina Hotel, marked on the map, survived as well. More research needed. bobanny 01:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who Saved Them?
The Sḵwxwú7mesh did. I need to find some more sources, but my people do talk about how when the c city caught on fire, the indigenous at eslha7an (North Vancouver) came over in canoes and save a number of settlers from the fire. Most people don't know this. The newspaper back then did have pictures and an article about the canoes coming over. I'll look but if anyone can point me in the director, thanks! 24.82.147.131 17:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- That's not hard to believe. Whatever boats were already on the Vancouver side would've been used as well. A source and any details would be awesome if you can find one. bobanny 22:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
