Guichon Creek sign

Garden Village, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Guichon Creek is one of the most significant tributaries of Still Creek, an important waterway in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

According to a map and materials by Heritage Advisory Committee and Environment and Waste Management Committee of the City of Burnaby (1993), Guichon Creek was named after the Guichon family who were pioneer residents of Delta and who also owned some of the land in Burnaby where this creek is. Even Willingdon Avenue was once known as Guichon Road. In the 1880s a log cabin was built at the top of the ravine running along this major Burnaby thoroughfare. Early residents of the area believe that it was used by sportsmen from Vancouver and New Westminster as a base for hunting expeditions in the wilds of Burnaby where bears and deer roamed free.

By 1912 Guichon Creek had become home to the Phillips-Hoyt Lumber Company which put a dam on the waterway to create a canal for transporting logs to a storage pond and a sawmill located on the site now occupied by the British Columbia Institute of Technology. The pond became a favourite fishing place and swimming hole for the locals.

In 2006, Guichon Creek was restored to largely natural state thanks to the efforts of local wild nature enthusiasts with the support of BCIT.
