SUMMARY:*\"Gibson Creek including Gibby's Field\" with Dan Fass
DESCRIPTION:We will start at Kingcrest Park, 4150 Knight St. (at E. 26
  Ave.), southwest corner\nGibson Creek was a major creek in the old Ch
 ina Creek system. It ran north-south through the middle of Kensington-
 Cedar Cottage (KCC), from 41st Avenue and Kensington Community Centre 
 in the south to its mouth not far from VCC-Clark SkyTrain station, pas
 sing through or by six East Vancouver parks on its way.\nThis tour pay
 s particular attention to where Gibson Creek was joined by another maj
 or creek, Davey Creek. This point, known locally as \"Gibby's Field,\"
  is on three City lots which have never been developed and contains an
  original piece of creek bed. Gibby's Field recently received a \"Plac
 es That Matter\" historical plaque from the VancouverHeritage Foundati
 on.\nThe tour starts in Kingcrest Park on Knight Street near Kingsway,
  close to the original Cedar Cottage, a nursery and market gardens, an
 d brewery (1901) --- all dependent on Gibson Creek. The tour follows G
 ibson Creek as it crossed under Kingsway and Knight, flowed across the
  old farm of Moses Gibson (1850--1937)who gave his name to Gibson Cree
 k and Gibby's Field, then past Tyee Elementary School and through Gibb
 y's Field. The tour continues past the site of an old mink farm to Cla
 rk Park at Maddams Street. Much of the land along the lower reaches of
  the creek has been used for non-market purposes: a school, churches, 
 non-market housing, parks, and a community college.\nDan Fass is part 
 of the Gibby's Field Subcommittee, a citizen's group seeking to preser
 ve Gibby's Field as a community greenspace (see www.vcn.bc.ca/gibbys)\
