Who was considered the father of Greater Vancouver?

David Oppenheimer would be considered the father of Greater Vancouver for all the things he did for Vancouver. He owned most of the land in Vancouver and built and constructed lot's of things and he helped out with the CPR and having enough land for the rail terminus. He soon became mayor and funded in things like a electric streetcar system, land for schools and parks such as Stanley Park. I would not consider the others to be the father, because all of them did lot's of work for Vancouver, but not has much has David did. He was the guy that had all the money and was able to own all the land, which you need for the CPR and such to make a could society.

  1. Try to be specific about what the gentlemen did and why those deeds aren't as significant as Oppenheimer's.
