“…It started in response to one individual who noticed the sound of running water one day. That sound happened to be coming from te Statlew, a small creek that was built over during the development of the area.
The neighborhood came together through community events and acts of artistic expression to draw support from the municipality to unveil this creek and make it a part of the community again.” RAIN CITY PROJECT

“This was it! The pavement Joni Mitchell sang about, paving paradise to put up a parking lot. Well, we were digging up a parking lot to try to build a paradise. And I think we did.”
There are so many arguments, I would say, for the humble rain garden. Alone, of course, they don't give us the blue green city that we would imagine, but scaled up, they are a spectacular response to finding our way back to a balanced water cycle, back to the garden and the way we want to live in harmony with nature.

“A lot of people feel like the stormwater falling from the sky is clean and it just gets scooped up and into our catch basins into a pipe and sent down to the receiving water. It’s actually picking up all kinds of contaminants from rooftops and roadways including: heavy metals, tire debris, and hydrocarbons like brake fluid or windshield wiper fluid. So, stormwater is actually quite polluted when it goes into these pipes and into receiving water bodies causing a lot of impacts, including salmon mortality.. instead of just collecting that water and putting it into the pipe system and discharging it directly into our local waters – with all the impacts that that has we are trying to capture it and filter it using soil and plant ecosystems, allowing that water to be absorbed back into the ground, absorbed by the plants, be evaporated, and basically cleaning and/or capturing those pollutants.”

Hearing about a near-drowning scare, feeling warm rain for the first time, or dancing while submerged in a pool has highlighted how my own stories are available in my body–experiences and memories that make up an intimate relationship.”
