    I want to know the name of the creek that is on the map that flows under the intersection of Granville St & 16th Avenue (or Marpole Avenue)

    Perhaps try contacting http://www.falsecreekwatershed.org/ or http://mtpleasantwatershed.wordpress.com/ for an answer.
    We do not know the name you are seeking but would be interested to know if you find out.

    Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!

    I have mastered some new items from your web-site about computer systems. Another thing I have always assumed is that computers have become something that each house must have for some reasons. They supply you with convenient ways in which to organize households, pay bills, search for information, study, pay attention to music and also watch television shows. An innovative strategy to complete every one of these tasks is a laptop. These desktops are mobile, small, strong and convenient.
