WATCH: City of Vancouver workers stopped fixing and widening the seawall to help an adorable family of geese cross the road – May 11, 2017

Road construction on Granville Island came to a halt on Thursday to make way for some mother geese and a few dozen goslings.

A Vancouver city worker had to play crossing guard to let at least three adult geese and over 40 goslings cross the the seawall just east of the Granville Street Bridge on Thursday afternoon.

Vancouver resident Pamela Marie Ferman caught the adorable gaggle of geese on video as she stood nearby.
