Plumbing and Heating in Kitsilano

What a great neighborhood we have in Kitsilano, one of Vancouver’s many beautiful neighborhoods and among the best-known. Named for August Jack Khatsahlano, a chief of the Squamish Nation, Kits became famous in the 1960s as a hippy hangout.


It has morphed into something quite a bit different now, but remains a cultural jewel for the region with its fabulous beaches, gigantic outdoor swimming pool and the shopping and restaurant districts of 4th Avenue and West Broadway.

Local Attractions

Kitsilano is home to many recreation and cultural events, including the famous Shakespeare festival, Bard on the Beach. Thousands also come for such things as the International Children’s Festival, the annual Greek festival and the legendary fireworks display, the Celebration of Light, when hundreds of thousands line the shores on summer evenings to see truly impressive fireworks displays from around the world.

There’s a massive saltwater outdoor swimming pool right on the shore of English Bay. Also in the area are the Museum of Vancouver, the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre and the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

The Kitsilano Area

Kitsilano /kɪtsɪˈlænoʊ/ is a beautiful neighborhood located in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Kitsilano is named after Squamish Chief August Jack Khatsahlano, and the neighborhood is located in Vancouver's West Side along the south shore of English Bay, between the neighborhoods of West Point Grey and Fairview.


The name 'Kitsilano' is derived from X̱ats'alanexw, the name of a Squamish chief. The area has been home to the Squamish people (known as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh in the Squamish language) for thousands of years, sharing the territory with the Musqueam and the Tsleil-Waututh Peoples. All three Nations moved throughout their shared traditional territory, using the resources it provided for fishing, hunting, trapping and gathering.


Geography


The land that is currently known as Kitsilano has been shared by the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Watuth peoples since time immemorial. Thus, their traditional place names are valuable descriptors of this landscape. The area that is currently known as Point Grey is traditionally known as Chitchilayuk. Beaches now known as Spanish Banks is traditionally known as Pookcha, Jericho Beach is traditionally known as Eyalmo and E-Eyalmo, and Kisilano Beach is traditionally known as Skwa-yoos. The area that is currently Sasamat Street was once known as Kokohpai, while the area of Bayswater Street was called Simsahmuls.


Kitsilano is located in the West Side of Vancouver, along the southern shore of English Bay, with Burrard Street as the neighborhood's eastern boundary, Alma Street its western boundary, and 16th Avenue its southern boundary.


Adjacent neighborhoods include the West End northeast across the Burrard Bridge and False Creek, Fairview directly to the east, Shaughnessy to the southeast, Arbutus Ridge directly south, Dunbar-Southlands southwest, and West Point Grey directly west. Like all of Vancouver, Kitsilano is located in traditional Coast Salish territory.
