- Spring Brook (Burnaby)
Spring Brook is one of many tributaries of
Still Creek , an important stream inBurnaby ,British Columbia ,Canada . It runs north just east ofBoundary Road and joins Still Creek just west ofGilmore Station .This area was once known to Burnaby residents as Broadview. According to a map and materials by Heritage Advisory Committee and Environment and Waste Management Committee of the City of Burnaby (1993), local old-time residents Margaret and Flora McCallum recall how the children of the neighbourhood waded and played in the creek during hot summers. Local Chinese farmers used the low-lying parts of the creek to cultivate crops of
watercress which would be harvested and sold inVancouver 's Chinatown.
