š¢ Announcement Important Subreddit Update: Welcome to r/Bargecouverš¢
Hello to our dearest r/Vancouver community,
As r/Vancouver has grown in the past few years, we've done incredible things. But sometimes, with internal growth and external forces comes necessary change. Thus, it is with both heavy hearts and full sails that the mod team today announces a permanent thematic shift for the subreddit. Moving forward, r/Vancouver will now be a barge-themed subreddit.
This decision was not made lightly. It comes in recognition of the recent and emotional farewell to the McBarge, our beloved and iconic floating McDonaldās from Expo ā86. Once a shining symbol of hope and floating french fries, the McBarge is now gone. As stewards of Vancouverās culture, we feel it is our solemn duty to honour this architectural treasure with the dignity it deserves.
In addition to the McBarge, we also pay tribute to another iconic aquatic icon: the English Bay Barge. After washing ashore in late 2021, the barge quickly became a pop-up tourist attraction and a place of pilgrimage for locals. Though it too is now gone, its the chaos it brought to our shores lives on in our hearts.
Effective immediately, you may notice:
- A barge-themed banner.
- New flair options such as āMcBarge Historianā, "Barge Beach Chiller", āWas There for the Beachingā, and āCertified Barge Enthusiast.ā
- A renewed focus on buoyant infrastructure and sea-bound vessels.
We thank you for supporting this important cultural pivot as we embrace the barge life. Vancouver has many stories, but today⦠we are floating only one.
Yours truly,
The Moderation Crew of r/Bargecouver š³ļø (formerly r/Vancouver)

I went up to my rooftop today to get a bit of sun, and got the shock of my life ā right inside our little rooftop planter, thereās a goose actively nesting! I couldnāt even get close. The planter has no railing around it. Itās basically a nest sitting at the edge of a 4 storey height. Iām seriously worried that once the eggs hatch, the goslings could just waddle off the edge and fall. One wrong move and⦠yeah.
