Show Notes
Port Moody, one of Metro Vancouvers oldest settler communities, was born from military strategy in the 19th century. Initially a small town, it gained significant attention as the planned western end of Canadas transcontinental railway. However, the railways extension to Vancouver left Port Moody in the shadows, causing investors to feel disappointment. Despite this, the town has created unique memories, such as workers crossing the frozen Moody Arm to their jobs. In the 1960s, Hungarian immigrant Andrew Peller launched Andres Wines and created Baby Duck, which became the top-selling wine in Canada. Today, Port Moody remains a peaceful gem, with band-tailed pigeons as its official bird, reflecting its natural roots.
