At 15 my dad dropped a GF & I off by boat on SPANISH BANKS BEACH, & he went to get gas. His last words were, "Stay here"😇
Beach was empty, we decided to swim from Spanish banks to ENGLISH BAY BEACH,
AGAINST outgoing tide.
We struggled but arrived, POLICE were
Dad arrived😡
We swam against raw sewage
Worse, we all used to swim in Deer Lake, southern Burnaby. There was a swimming hole, lifeguard & all
Next day our eyes glued shut. Several years after it was revealed that Okala Prison on the other side of the lake poured their sewage
