The date

Everyone in Port Moody heads for the Shoreline Trail, which leaves Clarke Street pleasantly empty. This is the town's first main street: a short run of low heritage storefronts, antique and vintage shops, a pie counter and a few cafes, with the city's public art programme scattered all through it in large side wall murals, painted utility boxes and sidewalk pieces. The City publishes a heritage and public art map for exactly this walk. Head east and the street hands you the 1908 CPR station, now the Station Museum, and then Rocky Point and Brewers Row. Twenty minutes of walking, an hour if you stop, free either way.
