Nature
Kanaka Creek Regional Park in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, extends for about 11 kilometres along both sides of Kanaka Creek from the Fraser River upstream, protecting 413 hectares of riverfront, floodplain, marsh, canyon, and forest habitat. Created through land purchases begun in the late 1970s and shaped by a 1981 agreement that limited displacement in the watershed, the park reached its final form in 1993. Within the unceded shared traditional territory of six Indigenous peoples, the area has been used for thousands of years. It is valued for scenery, recreation, salmon conservation, and wildlife habitat, while ongoing restoration addresses damage from logging, urbanization, runoff, and erosion.
