Heck, in Calgary we use the Bow River for the same purpose and there are communities downstream that seem to be surviving. I enjoyed a solitary walk to the end of the jetty and spent 45 minutes all by myself with just sea and sky (plus a lone seal) to keep me company. It was magical....and I couldn't smell a thing!

Really enjoyed the Iona Beach story. It sounds like something Josie K. might say. Great pictures, John! Really enjoyed the Iona Beach story. It sounds like something Josie K. might say.

Our class assignment was to coordinate a mock field trip for 3-5 year-old children somewhere in the Vancouver/Richmond area. We were stumped for ideas until our professor suggested "how about Iona Beach?" Someone in the class spoke up (who wasn't blonde and wasn't me) and said: "wow - that's so cool. You own a beach?" Needless to say, she got teased a bit for that one. Totally silly story, but lovely pictures none-the-less. Glad you two could get out of downtown and enjoy a bit of nature in the sunshine. :-) Iona Beach always reminds me of when I was taking the ECE program at Langara College.
