“LUCKLUCKY

A century ago there was a natural portage through the swamp between False Creek and Burrard Inlet. The Indians, who had huts nearby, called the area Lucklucky, ‘Grove of Beautiful Trees’. Vancouver's first church, a Methodist mission to the Indians, was built at the foot of Abbott in 1876.”
