History doesn't need to be boring! I am Efrain. Just a Vancouverite trying to improve his English skills, via short skits, using everyday English words, that are tricky to pronounce for non native English speakers. I wasn't born speaking English, and to make matters more challenging, I learned it as an adult. Please note that I am not an English teacher, on the contrary, I am here to learn. English can be difficult, but I will sure try to improve!
It was because of my videos, that I re-discovered Vancouver, and its many hidden gems. Canada is a relatively young country, but it’s got a lot of history, and Vancouver is no exception, so I decided to try a different approach to my videos, I will still practice my pronunciation through my narration, all you have to do, is kick back, relax, let’s explore this place together, and Lemmetellya!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve been here from the start or just joined, your support means a lot to me!
This channel has been such a fun way to explore Vancouver’s history and share these stories with all of you. It’s amazing to see how many of you are as curious about the city’s past as I am.
As the year wraps up, I’m feeling really grateful for this community we’re building. I also want to let you know that I’ll be on vacation from December 31st to January 13th, so there won’t be any videos during that time—but as of January 14th, get ready for more stories, discoveries, and deep dives into this fantastic place!
Thank you for being here, and Happy Holidays!

Did you know that, up until 1985, the Cambie St Bridge, was a swing-span, drawbridge? It was also named "Connaught Bridge" but the name never stuck! youtube.com/shorts/YCvnPUj-WD...

Around 9,000 years ago, while the Squamish Nation was settling in what’s now southwestern British Columbia, the world was going through some big changes. The last Ice Age had just ended, glaciers were retreating, and new ecosystems were popping up, making the area rich with resources. While early civilizations in the Middle East were starting to farm and domesticate animals, the Squamish thrived as hunter-gatherers and fishers, using the abundance of nature around them. They built longhouses and established trade networks with neighboring nations, creating a culture that’s endured for thousands of years. Crazy to think what was happening across the world while they were mastering the coast!

🌊 Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver isn’t just a beautiful spot for a stroll; it has a rich history too! Named after the Spanish explorers who charted the area in 1792, it's a nod to Vancouver's multicultural roots. But here’s the kicker: despite its serene setting, this beach was once considered for some pretty bold projects! In the late 1920s, it was approved as the site for the new airport—yes, an airport right on the beach! Other wild ideas included a planetarium, a train station and even a causeway connecting it to Lighthouse Park. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and today, we get to enjoy Spanish Banks in all its natural glory. 🌅

The Squamish Peoples have inhabited the region now known as British Columbia for at least 8,000 years. This places them in a time when many of the Ice Age megafauna went extinct, and woolly mammoths were still roaming the Yukon!
