I know this place like the back of my hand but rarely get a chance to explore. In the domestic bagage claim area there are two places I had never visited before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is a little nook beneath the escalators I. The middle of the arrivals level that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yvr.ca\/en\/about-yvr\/musqueam\/musqueam-yvr-agreement\">a welcome centre from the Musqueam First Nation<\/a>. Inside is a timeline of Musqueam history and a warm welcome to the territory that also includes an invitation to be a conscious visitor to these lands. I think everyone who visits here should have a little stop off there to ground themselves in this territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the welcome display is a social enterprise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificautismfamily.com\/cafe\">the Paper Planes Cafe<\/a> which gives neurodiverse people a place to work, learn skills and build a career at YVR. They serve excellent coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been to airports all around the world and YVR remans my favourite for all kinds of reasons, but today cemented those reasons just a little bit more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some very cool places I\u2019ve only just visited for the first time at YVR. #FirstNations #Musqueam #Autusm #Neurodiversity #YVR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Welcome at YVR","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[56,12,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-first-nations","category-travel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_9474.jpg?fit=2000%2C1500&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/piBp1-56G","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19634"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19636,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19634\/revisions\/19636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chriscorrigan.com\/parkinglot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
