Plumbing and Heating in Kitsilano

What a great neighborhood we have in Kitsilano, one of Vancouver’s many beautiful neighborhoods and among the best-known. Named for August Jack Khatsahlano, a chief of the Squamish Nation, Kits became famous in the 1960s as a hippy hangout.

It has morphed into something quite a bit different now, but remains a cultural jewel for the region with its fabulous beaches, gigantic outdoor swimming pool and the shopping and restaurant districts of 4th Avenue and West Broadway.

Kitsilano /kɪtsɪˈlænoʊ/ is a beautiful neighborhood located in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Kitsilano is named after Squamish Chief August Jack Khatsahlano, and the neighborhood is located in Vancouver's West Side along the south shore of English Bay, between the neighborhoods of West Point Grey and Fairview.

The name 'Kitsilano' is derived from X̱ats'alanexw, the name of a Squamish chief. The area has been home to the Squamish people (known as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh in the Squamish language) for thousands of years, sharing the territory with the Musqueam and the Tsleil-Waututh Peoples. All three Nations moved throughout their shared traditional territory, using the resources it provided for fishing, hunting, trapping and gathering.
