Spring Brook (Burnaby)
Spring Brook is one of many tributaries of Still Creek, an important stream in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.[1][2] It runs north just east of Boundary Road and joins Still Creek just west of Gilmore Station.[1][2]
The area was once known to Burnaby residents as Broadview.[1] Local old-time residents Margaret and Flora McCallum recall how the children of the neighbourhood waded and played in the creek during hot summers.[2] Local Chinese farmers used the low-lying parts of the creek to cultivate crops of watercress which would be harvested and sold in Vancouver's Chinatown.
