THE DISTRICT ## Where Vancouver-Fraserview is 12 km² · 58,685 people Vancouver-Fraserview lies in the southeast of the City of Vancouver. The Electoral Boundaries Commission's 2023 final report says it includes the Victoria-Fraserview and Killarney neighbourhoods. Its southern boundary is the Fraser River, and its northern boundary follows E 49th, E 45th and E 41st Avenues. In the west, the report lists Crompton Street and Ross Street among its boundaries. The commission counted 58,686 people in the district, which covers 12 square kilometres. The commission's map of the district names Killarney, Fraserview Golf Course, Everett Crowley Park and Captain Cook Park. It shows Southeast Marine Drive along the river side, Boundary Road on the eastern side next to Burnaby, and the streets Knight, Victoria, Fraser and Kerr. The City of Vancouver describes Victoria-Fraserview as lying on the south slope toward the Fraser River, between the Knight Street Bridge and Killarney. Killarney, in the City's words, is in the southeastern corner of the city, bordering Burnaby and the Fraser River. Elections BC's results file for the 2024 election lists 13 places where people voted in the district: Killarney Community Centre, Champlain Heights Community Centre, Killarney Secondary School, David Thompson Secondary School, five elementary schools, two school annexes, Harvest City Church and the Harbour Master Club at Tugboat Landing. The City's Killarney page names Champlain Heights and Everett Crowley Park, which has 40 hectares of walking trails, as part of the Killarney area. - Victoria-Fraserview - Fraserview - Killarney - Champlain Heights - West Fraserlands - East Fraser Lands (River District) Sources: [British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Commission (opens in a new tab)](https://elections.bc.ca/docs/rpt/BCEBC-Final-Report-April-3-2023.pdf), [Elections BC (opens in a new tab)](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/44914a35-de9a-4830-ac48-870001ef8935), [City of Vancouver (opens in a new tab)](https://vancouver.ca/news-calendar/victoria-fraserview.aspx), [City of Vancouver (opens in a new tab)](https://vancouver.ca/news-calendar/killarney.aspx) HISTORY ## The history of the area Checked Thursday, October 8, 2026 ### Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh territory Three Nations describe the land around the Fraser River and Burrard Inlet as their territory, each in its own words. The Musqueam Indian Band calls itself xʷməθkʷəy̓əm and says its people speak hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓. Its website says its ancestors have lived throughout the Fraser River estuary for thousands of years, and says that portions of its territory are now called Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and other names. Musqueam leaders and members signed the Musqueam Declaration on 10 June 1976, stating their claim to aboriginal title and rights. On its website the Squamish Nation, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw, states that its traditional territory covers 6,732 square kilometres. The territory takes in parts of present-day cities such as Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster, and all of Burrard Inlet and English Bay. Village sites in it date back 3,000 years, the Nation says. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation, səlilwətaɬ, calls itself the People of the Inlet and says its people have lived in its traditional territory for thousands of years. The City of Vancouver names all three Nations in its land acknowledgement. The City's plan for the East Fraser Lands, on the river in this district, says local First Nations people used the area around it for travel, spiritual and ceremonial purposes, and for harvesting food, and still do. The plan says permanent and seasonal settlements stood along the shoreline, particularly near fresh water.

In Killarney, the City names William Rowling as the first non-native settler, in 1868. It says he received a military land grant and that his family came to own 3.5 kilometres of the Fraser River shoreline. George Wales bought 221 acres in northern Killarney in 1878 for one dollar an acre, and Wales Street still carries his family's name. The remaining land was auctioned in 160-acre parcels in 1888. By 1890 the City says No. 1 Road, now 45th Avenue, and No. 2 Road, now 54th Avenue, had been built along the northern edges of those properties. The City of Vancouver itself was incorporated on 6 April 1886, according to BC Geographical Names. The City of Vancouver Archives records that the District of South Vancouver was established on 13 April 1892 by a provincial charter called letters patent, with boundaries covering the areas south of 16th Avenue. This district lay inside it.

The Encyclopedia of British Columbia says Avalon Dairy began in 1906, when Jeremiah Crowley and his wife Maud arrived from Newfoundland and bought a farm in South Vancouver. The Vancouver Heritage Foundation records that Crowley built the Craftsman-style farmhouse in 1908, that his family owned the site until it was sold in 2011, and that the address changed in 2018 from 5805 Wales Street to 2661 East 43rd Avenue. It lists the dairy, now based in Burnaby, as the oldest continuously operating dairy in British Columbia. The City of Vancouver also names the Cooper House at 5872 Wales Street, a Craftsman house built in 1919 on an acre of land. In Killarney, the City says a Stewart family fruit farm of eight hectares, established in the 1890s, supplied fruit to the Vancouver market. On the river, a University of British Columbia report on Everett Crowley Park says that in the 1920s two mills stood side by side near the bottom of Boundary Road: the Old Dominion Mill, bought by H. R. MacMillan, and the Canadian White Pine Mill. The report says the mills employed thousands of workers and that the Old Dominion Mill closed in 1952. The City's plan for the East Fraser Lands says the White Pines Mill occupied that site for much of the twentieth century.

The City of Vancouver Archives records that Point Grey and the rest of South Vancouver joined the City of Vancouver on 1 January 1929. From then on the streets of Victoria-Fraserview and Killarney were part of the City. The Vancouver Park Board's golf presentation says Fraserview Golf Course opened in 1934 and was redesigned in 1998. It gives the course an area of 95 hectares. The City of Vancouver says that during the depression of the 1930s relief workers were put to work clearing the land for the course, and that residents were given permits to cut firewood and use the land for vegetable gardens before it opened. The City also says the streets of the later Fraserview subdivision were named after golf courses from around the world.

In the late 1940s there was a shortage of housing for returning war veterans, and Victoria-Fraserview and the neighbouring area of Sunset received 1,100 new homes. The housing was begun in the 1940s and finished in the 1950s. The City says many residents did not welcome it, and that the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation took over 182 hectares by law to carry it out. Homes went to veterans according to the number of children, the length of overseas service and the urgency of need. In the early 1950s the subdivision became known as "diaper town" because so many children lived there. The University of British Columbia report says the Kerr Road landfill officially opened in 1944 and closed in 1967. The report's timeline records that all of the City of Vancouver's waste was being deposited there, and that the landfill covered an area almost as large as today's Everett Crowley Park. The report says the waste reached 49 metres in the central area, and that the site was capped with 1.5 metres of fill.

The Vancouver School Board's history says construction of Killarney Secondary on 49th Avenue near Kerr Street began in 1956, when vacant lots surrounded the site. The school opened in the fall of 1957 with 1,260 students and 52 teachers in grades 7 to 10, and took its name from Killarney, Ireland. The City says Vancouver's first cooperative housing development, DeCosmos Village, was built in Killarney in 1970, and that the southern part of the area became Champlain Heights in the 1970s. The School Board's history says Champlain Mall opened in 1973 with 32 stores. The City's plan for the East Fraser Lands says Champlain Heights was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and that West Fraserlands, the residential area beside the river west of Kerr Street, was built in the 1980s and 1990s. The old landfill became a park. The University of British Columbia report says the area was designated as Everett Crowley Park in 1987, and the School Board's history gives the same year for the park's opening.

The City's Official Development Plan, the document that sets the rules for the site, says the City's Industrial Lands Strategy of 1995 stated that, if the sawmill ceased operations, the City should reconsider the future of the land. In May 2002, after the mill closed, Council told staff to talk with the land owners and the local community about the options. The plan says the mill was dismantled in 2004. In December 2004 Council adopted the East Fraserlands Policy Statement. Council adopted the Official Development Plan by By-law No. 9393 on 12 December 2006. The City says the land-use rules for Area 1, Area 2 and Kerr Street were changed in 2008 and 2010, and that the site holds 126 acres of former industrial land. Over 25 years the City expects the community to include parks, a community centre, schools, childcare facilities and a riverfront walk. Wesgroup Properties owns most of the land, and the City calls the area the River District. On 8 October 2024 Council enacted amendments that allow more social housing, rental housing and housing that people buy as individual units.

The commission's 2023 final report proposed minor adjustments to the boundaries of Vancouver-Langara, Vancouver-Fraserview, Vancouver-Kensington and Vancouver-Kingsway, to balance their populations and leave room for future growth. It counted 65,070 people in the former Vancouver-Fraserview, 13.2% from the average district, over 13 square kilometres. The district now counts 58,686 people, 9.1% from the average, over 12 square kilometres. Elections BC's conversion table matches 71 of the district's 72 voting areas to the former Vancouver-Fraserview. The commission also proposed a twelfth electoral district in Vancouver.
