Poetry at Trout Lake
What’s better than a leisurely stroll through Vancouver on a beautiful day? Basically: nothing! Except maybe having someone in your ear buds telling you things that might surprise and delight you about the spectacular neighbourhoods!
As part of an attempt to create car-free activities that keep residents safe during a global pandemic, the Car Free Days presented two seasons of WE Live Here (2020, 2021), an audio tour series hosted by local writer, historian, and musician Aaron Chapman, who brings together tales while listeners weave through the streets of the West End, East Van, Strathcona, and Mount Pleasant.
Season 2, Segment 1: Poetry at Trout Lake
The second series of WE Live Here features a segment with Alyssa Martens, as she shares a poetic segment at Trout Lake Beach in the heart of East Van. While the WE Live Here audio tours are no longer available for download, the transcript for the Poetry at Trout Lake episode can be accessed below.
