Longtime Musqueam councillor Howard Grant says when it comes to the relationship between his First Nation and the City of Vancouver things have come a long, long, long, long way. Back in the early 50s the mayor and council of Vancouver came to my community and wanted to use our land as the Vancouver city garbage dump site, he said.
