There isn't a more famous place in Vancouver to run, jog, or walk than Stanley Park's Seawall. The Seawall loops around Stanley Park, running along the park's northern, western and southern coastlines. Fully-paved, the Seawall is an ideal pathway for walkers, joggers and runners of all skill levels, and its route--with views of the city, northern mountains, and Lion's Gate Bridge--is undeniably beautiful.

The 10k Route circles Stanley Park's Seawall once, and the 5k the Dovian Park loop.

Stanley Park is recognized around the globe as one of the great parks of the world! Vancouver's first park and one of the city's main tourist attractions, Stanley Park is an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) close to the downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees, embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility. The park, abundant with wildlife and its features appeal to the naturalist, the plant lover or anyone who wants to do nothing more than relax in beautiful surroundings. There is always something happening in the park - check our Events Calendar for listings.

Finding out that your child has a disability can be an overwhelming experience, leaving you fearful for the future and uncertain what to do. The BC Centre for Ability helps parents see a brighter future by opening up possibilities for persons with disabilities that they never knew existed. Now you can help build that better future.

The Centre builds on the strengths of the children it serves so that they can live good lives and feel they belong and it’s been doing that for almost fifty years. It partners with parents to make sure families get what they need. The goal is to make it possible for individuals to live on their own in their communities, having friends, being active and enjoying life.

Here’s what the Centre does. Services are tailored to what each individual needs. They include: physical, speech or occupational therapy; emotional or psychological counselling; help finding a job or volunteer position; doing what’s needed to thrive in day care or at school; choosing equipment and providing support to develop the skills for living independently that many other parents take for granted.

The Centre is a leader in how it measures its success. It uses data to track its impact and to make sure it’s continuously changing to maximize the potential of everyone it serves. Right now that includes 3500 individuals a year but the need is so much greater. There are long wait lists for many of its services.

You can help The Centre meet the needs of more families by providing services wherever and whenever they’re needed, in more languages and with the equipment required to excel.
