Still Creek

Still Moon leads the ongoing restoration of Still Creek, which flows through the Renfrew Ravine and the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood.

Still Creek is an urban stream that runs through the unceded Coast Salish Territories of Burnaby and Vancouver. It is one of the few remaining open streams in the City of Vancouver and was once home to a vast stream system supporting Pacific salmon species and Indigenous communities. Ongoing urbanization, including piping large parts of the stream system and industrial activity, led to poor drainage, the introduction of pollutants, and ongoing flooding events.

Still Moon has been involved in the restoration of Still Creek and developing the area as a community gathering space since 2003. This has been done through on-site work including removing waste and invasive species, planting and tending to native species, releasing salmon fry, and performing water and invertebrate sampling tests. We have worked alongside stewardship partners in federal and local governments, and Streamkeepers across the Lower Mainland.
