Grant鈥檚 Landing is 91原创, B.C.鈥檚, float home community, a collection of 33 floating homes moored at the foot of 208th Street on the Fraser River.

Monty Grant and Marlyn Sparks founded the community back in the early 1980s. Sparks lives on land, and Grant on his houseboat. Sparks spoke to the 91原创 Advance Times in 2017. She was 93 at that time and had no intention of leaving.

鈥淚t started with Monty鈥檚 boat, coming up the river,鈥� Sparks said. The land was zoned for a marina, and more and more float homes were added over the years until it was a true community.

In the 1990s, the community had dubious legal standing. But negotiations with 91原创 Township saw it bring in modern sewage connections, fire hoses, and electrical hookups, and it was brought into compliance with local bylaws.

鈥淲e went through all kinds of hoops,鈥� Sparks recalled.
