Crab apple and Nootka rose lining the pathways are reminders of these plants that farmers of the area once planted along the Fraser River dykes to protect their land from flooding.

Shopping

Kerrisdale Village has been a thriving business community since its inception in the early 20th Century. Today it offers a cornucopia of shops, eateries, and services that would rival any bustling metropolis. However, where Kerrisdale has kept up with its chic downtown neighbours, it has not lost its quaint village charm and welcoming spirit that it is so well known for.
