In 1889, the Capilano Intake began supplying Vancouver’s water, but logging by Capilano Timber Co. in the early 1900s took a toll on the watershed. After years of conflict with the Water Board, operations ceased in 1932, helping protect this vital resource. Learn more in the latest “Time Traveller” in the North Shore News. 📷: NVMA, 10089
