Re: “Arbutus line clear within two weeks,” March 10.
I’d like to mention an interesting historical note which offers a nice touch of irony. The gardeners along the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks might like to know that the first gardeners along the tracks were... CP.
The land bounded by W. 37th Avenue, Maple Avenue, W. 41st Avenue and East Boulevard now holds Point Grey Secondary and the Kerrisdale (Cyclone Taylor) Arena, but in 1905 it was farmed by the CP and the produce that was harvested found its ways to the tables on CP trains and in CP hotels.
