About the photographs & image credits

Photographs include venue views, archive events and clearly labelled illustrative images, not live pictures of this week’s activities. Park photographs show the setting rather than a particular market or play session. Images are cropped in the layout.

The apple, music, autumn-fair, Halloween gateway, cardboard-play, circus and park-train artwork are original AI-assisted illustrations for Little Vancouver. They do not depict an actual venue or event. Listings without a checked photo or their own artwork use our original category illustrations, visibly labelled on each card. These symbolic scenes do not show the advertised venue, event, facilities or equipment.
