The walk on Thursday, June 9 launches the 30th year of the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society.

Take a walk around the historical grounds of səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview in Coquitlam with a stewardship group that marks its 30th anniversary this year.

The Riverview Horticultural Centre Society is inviting the public on a guided tour of some of the 244 acres off Lougheed Highway to learn about the site, its heritage buildings and natural assets.

Led by Ian McArthur and Mark Johnston of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, the 90-minute walk takes place on Thursday (June 9) at 7 p.m. and will include a stop in Finnie’s Garden.

Participants are asked to park in the parking lot on the upper side of the Henry Esson Young (HEY) building and to follow the wayfinding signs.

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes for climbing the hills. The event is rain or shine.
