AboutGeoff Wickens Expertise I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.
Experience I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.
Question I would like to know about the history of this marina. I understood, perhaps its legend, that Chucky Woodward bequeathed the marina to the city on the understanding that it would be kept affordable for local boaters
Answer I can find no history of Chucky Woodward bequeathed the burrard Marina.
I have been through the annals of Vancouver History and found that The Burrard Civic Marina is located at the entrance to False Creek. It is the largest marina in False Creek with 443 water berths, 150 land storage spaces and canoe and kayak storage. The marina has a launch ramp as well as a crane for loading and unloading.
I found nothing special about this marina other than it provides a valuable service to boat lovers in the city.
