Notable & Historical​

A Story of Stewardship and Growth

Raven Woods stands on the traditional lands of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, whose wisdom and stewardship have shaped its thoughtful development.

  • Inspired by Indigenous Heritage – The community’s name pays tribute to the raven, a symbol of wisdom, transformation, and community in Indigenous lore.
 
  • A Model of Resilience and Innovation – When faced with challenges during the early stages of development—such as opposition to creating a road connection through Roche Point—the Tsleil-Waututh Nation persevered. By clearing a forested cliff face to build a steep switchback road, they successfully established Raven Woods. This resilience resulted in the creation of a thriving community that seamlessly blends cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern living
 
  • 30th Anniversary in 2025 – Celebrating three decades of growth, community, and cultural connection, Raven Woods continues to evolve while honouring its rich history and Indigenous roots.

With its deep cultural significance, strong sense of place, and ongoing commitment to sustainability, Raven Woods is more than a neighbourhood—it’s a legacy in motion.
