World Water Day walking ‘Johnson Creek’ with GVPN
Join GVPN on World Water Day this Sunday, March 22, 2026 for a walk along the route of a creek buried under downtown Victoria. We’ll learn about some of this creek’s history through archival maps and photos, while dreaming up ways to honour this buried waterway through placemaking.
Register for this free walk guided by GVPN if you’d like to join in to learn about this buried creek and help plan out placemaking projects for GVPN to take on in the months ahead. Bring your curiosity and something to take notes!
We’ll be meeting in front of the Atrium Building at the intersection of Yates and Blanshard. We’ll be walking through busy parks of downtown and on our feet for 2 hours, ending in a different location than we start. Participants must be comfortable walking downtown alone, or must be accompanied by a guardian throughout the walk. The route is accessible, although includes curbs and steps, which can be avoided with care for participants with wheels. Dress for the weather!
Start Location: Yates + Blanshard in front of the Atrium Building
End Location: Johnson Street Bridge (east side of the bridge, downtown side)
Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026
Time: 1 – 3 pm
