My Canadian-ness Article For Today: Friday Edition

This is a little information and history on a location nearby to where I live:
Stanley Park is a fun area of Vancouver, BC to rollerblade, bike, sunbathe, picnic, you name it.
I'll just ignore telling you about the few night crimes that take place there once in a while, and I'll focus on my favourite moments there.
When my parents took me to Stanley Park when I was a child, we'd go down to the water and I'd pick up some seashells. I also saw some starfish stuck on rocks, which was pretty cool at my age of around 6 to 10. I still have the seashells I've collected from the park.
Another favourite memory is going to Stanley Park with my grandma and visiting the E. Pauline Johnson memorial. It was significant to me because I had done a large amount of studying on Johnson in my English classes as she was a native/First Nations/Indian poet.
