City officials inspecting Little Mountain Quarry
The land containing Little Mountain was originally owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which created a basalt rock quarry that operated from 1890 to 1911.[4] The rocks from the quarry were primarily used to build roads in the Gastown, Shaughnessy and South Vancouver, British Columbia.[3][4] In the 1920s, one of the quarries was converted to a water reservoir for the city. Queen Elizabeth Park was established in 1940, and the reservoir was covered over by a parking lot in 1963.[5]
