Part of your homework for your visit to Vancouver might be to learn the C. Fox Smith song "Hastings Mill" which you can find on my website: click here and search for lyrics!

It's a haunting love song which also commemorates a prominant lumber mill and shipping point on the Vancouver waterfront in the early 1900's. I introduced it to some folks in neighboring Steveston while I was there in 2005 but it could use some reinforcement. The old mill office was salvaged and moved to a city park further west and is also worth a visit.

Cheerily,
