LOCAL FAMILY INVESTS $30 MILLION IN RENTAL HOUSING North Vancouver-based Darwin Construction has given Phibbs Exchange a new identity with the construction of Lynn Creek Apartments. As the first purpose-built rental project in the District of North Vancouver since 1979, Lynn Creek Apartments accounts for nearly 9% of the District’s total rental inventory. “We are facing an affordability crisis on the North Shore, that’s why we need to start providing housing options

for young professionals and families who want to stay in this area,” explains Darwin President Oliver Webbe. Darwin Construction is 100% family owned and is one of the largest private land owners on the North Shore. “We have constructed more than 25 affordable housing projects across BC, and our goal is to begin construction on our first affordable rental housing project in North Vancouver by the end of next year.”

PUBLIC ART TRACKS TRAIL WORK JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The existence of Sasquatch may be unlikely, evidence supporting Ogopogo is dubious, but we finally have a confirmation on fairies. Trail fairies, anyway. Nestled alongside Mount Seymour’s newest mountain biking trails is a public art project chronicling the creation of Penny Lane and Good Sir Martin. Many galleries cover their walls with nature portraits,

but Euan Forrester is the rare photographer to festoon the backcountry with art. For nine months, Forrester followed trail builders Martin Newman and Penny Deck as they forged an alternative path to the steep, gravelly trail of Old Buck, which is “not really all that pleasant to ride,” Forrester notes. “They wanted to build something that was a little less steep, more meandering, more natural,” he says.

Project takes on a life of its own From page 3

The duo looked for a place to put their trail, taking into account the steepness of the terrain and the drainage. After clearing their line of soil, leaves, and branches, they’d fill in the holes with rocks and top it off with clay-like dirt. “They’d work all day,” Forrester says. “They worked way harder than I did.” Forrester tended to join them on weekends and the odd evening, looking for captivating moments through the lens of his camera. “I think for a lot of people their experience is that trails just appear out of nowhere. They’re not really connected with the process of how they’re made,” he says. “I wanted to give people some insight into what that process is.” Forrester started snapping shots of the trail builders simply because it seemed intriguing from a photographer’s perspective, but one night over beers, the idea grew. A notion about putting markers on the trail to record building progress put Forrester in mind of the photographer Zoe Strauss, who famously displayed photos under a Philadelphia overpass. “I just blurted out, ‘Oh, and I can add photos,’ he recalls. From there, the project took on “a life of its own.” He laminated 20 photographs, first adjusting prints for the dim light of the forest, and hung them from trees using rope and cedar slats. The process has been highly educational, according to Forrester, who says he understands a lot about building trails. “I’m useless at actually doing the work,” he says, laughing. “But I know what’s supposed to be done.” But while a novice might pick up a few tips from the exhibit, Forrester says he was trying to capture the range

“I think for a lot of people their experience is that trails just appear out of nowhere. They’re not really connected with the process of how they’re made.” of emotions Newman and Deck went through. While trail riders could be heard letting out whoops of jubilation around them, the experience of building the trail was largely solitary, according to Forrester. “The interesting part of what I got to see from being with them day in and day out right from the beginning, was the emotional side of it, and I wanted that to come through.”

He also wanted to put a friendly face on mountain biking. “It’s really friendly out there. … But unfortunately, really, really infrequently, there’s a bad incident that happens,” he says. “I wanted to give people something positive to talk about.” The pictures are scheduled to come down in September.

The art of assembly When making purchasing decisions, make it easy on yourself! Whenever possible, purchase quality pre-made products such as hummus, dips, and spreads. One of my favourite recipes is the BBQ Lamb on Beet Hummus Flatbread. This is a feast that is easy to prepare, yet memorable. Breath new life into summer classics Take your standard potato salad and instead of tossing with plain old mayo, toss with a fresh Pico de Gallo mild salsa, shredded cheese, black olives and cilantro. Switch up your standard burgers for salmon burgers topped with tzatziki, feta and iceberg lettuce or dress up your burger with some sriracha mayo or ketchup, Texas caviar or flavourful chutneys. Bevvies and Iced Treats Always have a large cooler or bucket full of ice and an assortment of lemonade, sparkling beverages and water. Try freezing your mix into ice cubes and use them to chill your cocktails. Make your signature cocktail into a Popsicle treat for adults.

10 GREAT THINGS TO DO THIS SUMMER ON THE NORTH SHORE

With an abundance of worthy outdoor attractions, it may be hard to decide what to do and where to go. We have compiled ten great ideas for you – try them and you will be rewarded with breathtaking scenery and good fun as you enjoy some true ‘North Shore’ experiences.

QUARRY ROCK:

One of the best hikes in the Lower Mainland is the rolling 45-minute climb to Quarry Rock Lookout in Deep Cove. Named after Granite Quarries Ltd., which operated from 1908 to 1924 on the waterfront below the lookout, the rocky outcrop offers unbeatable views of the village of Deep Cove and east up Indian Arm. Located along the Baden Powell trail, you’ll find the access to the trail half a block north from the intersection of Gallant Avenue and Panorama Drive.

CATES PARK: Looking for a great place to picnic? Try Cates Park on the way to Deep Cove. Located on the waterfront, it has two children’s playgrounds and a nice strolling gravel pathway.

LOWER SEYMOUR CONSERVATION RESERVE: A favourite spot of locals, the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve provides hikers, cyclists and inline skaters with 50 kilometres (31 miles) of paved roads and trails. Cool in summer — thanks to impressive stands of Cedar, Hemlock, Fir and Spruce trees — the reserve is a great spot for wildlife viewing; and for fishing. The little ones can throw a line into Rice Lake and try to catch a small trout. If under 16, they won’t need a licence. Find it at the end of Lillooet Road in North Vancouver.

LYNN CANYON PARK: The 250-hectare Lynn Canyon Park is another gem: a lush temperate rainforest with plenty to interest the entire family. Hike scenic trails; visit the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre for informative displays about the forest’s plants and animals; venture across the narrow, swaying Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge; and stop in at the Lynn Canyon Café for a snack or meal. Access the park from Peters Road in North Vancouver. BURRARD DRY DOCK PIER: In the mood for a little more hustle and bustle? Get an upclose look at the action in the busy Port of Vancouver from the 700-foot-long Burrard Dry Dock Pier at the foot of Lonsdale Avenue. Built in 2005, the pier represents the first time in 100 years that the public has had access to this portion of the See more on page 9

city’s waterfront, and is a wonderful tribute to the community’s shipbuilding history. If you’re hungry, bring along a snack from nearby Lonsdale Quay; or head there after and shop for fresh fruit, local seafood, baked goods, flowers, crafts and more.

HARBOURSIDE PARK:

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, visit the worldfamous shop of chocolatier Thomas Haas, located at 998 Harbourside Dr. in North Vancouver. As well as handmade chocolates, this jewelry box of a shop sells pastries and cakes, excellent espresso and tasty sandwiches. Get your purchases to go and head to nearby Harbourside Park and watch ships cruise by.

CAPILANO SALMON HATCHERY:

Observe one of the great life-cycle stories in nature at the Capilano Salmon Hatchery, a federal government hatchery in North Vancouver. Witness the life and death cycle, from juvenile Pacific salmon in the ponds to returning adult salmon leaping up fish ladders to spawn. The hatchery is open yearround, but late August through to November provides the best opportunities to view the returning adults; 4500 Capilano Park Rd., North Vancouver.

AMBLESIDE PARK: Looking for some doggone fun? You can’t beat the threehectare off-leash dog area at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver. Canines and their human friends can run on grass and trails, swim at the beach, and visit with other furry friends. A doggie-bag dispenser is located at the eastern end of the dog area and a water bowl is located beside the paved walk.

WEST VANCOUVER COMMUNITY CENTRE: The new West Vancouver Community Centre and neighbouring Aquatic Centre is a great spot to spend a rainy day. Try a program in the new gymnasium, Arts Studio or Dance Studio; challenge the climbing wall or go for a swim in the 3,750-square-foot leisure pool complete with giant waterslide.

LIGHTHOUSE PARK: If you’re craving a walk in the woods, Lighthouse Park is the spot. A perfect place to explore heavily treed trails, this 75-hectare virgin temperate rainforest is home to some of the largest Douglas Firs in Vancouver, and rewards walkers with a gorgeous view of the ocean at the end of the trail where you can also watch the working lighthouse. Located off Marine Drive (at Beacon Lane) West Vancouver near Horseshoe Bay.

DNV CELEBRATES 125 YEARS ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

“History is a story. People love stories, they learn from stories.” District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton is a bit of a history buff. It’s not surprising, then, when you discover he is a former high school history teacher. It’s also not surprising that he was interested in celebrating the district’s 125th anniversary this year. A few years ago Walton noted that the anniversary would share a close link with Canada’s 150th anniversary, which takes place next year, and thought it was a good opportunity for a year-long celebration of the district’s unique history. “I think an understanding of history and a sense of where any one of us may fit in today in the continuum of many years is something that builds a sense of belonging,” he says.

For a lot of people history is something they are introduced to in school then largely forget about, suggests Walton, but knowing where a community came from is important when considering where it’s going. “Our community was really mud flats that were bordering the north side of Burrard Inlet,” starts Walton as he leads into a detailed discussion that traces the early days of the district. He talks about Moodyville (where the Neptune Terminals are today), and how what was essentially just some tidal flats grew into the largest port in Canada. In fact, he notes, the City of North Vancouver and the district together do more volume of goods than any other port in Canada. But it wasn’t all a positive influence back in the beginning. Walton weaves through a short recap of the origins of the area before European settlement in which First Nations lived for many centuries until they were largely pushed out and into several reserves by the industry activity. Local First Nations were forced into four fairly small reserves along the waterfront while the rest of the waterfront developed, he notes. Heavy industry also created heavy waterfront pollution in the early years. The area’s mountain heritage was also “logged mercilessly down to nothing,” says Walton. “There’s virtually no old growth left anymore.” A lot of what grew back are not very healthy ecosystems, and are mostly second-growth. “If you look at our history here it always ties in with sort of a negative activity,” says Walton. “We celebrate what we have but we don’t realize that it was a lot better before we came.” He agrees with the suggestion that it’s important to remember the past so the same mistakes aren’t made in the future. “The first European impact on the North Shore was mostly negative,” he notes, but there has been a lot of positive since. Walton talks about the value of understanding and listening to First Nations talk about protecting green spaces. “They talk about how short our tenure is, they understand clearly how short our tenure is, how we were given these lands to use only for a short period of time, they understand sustainability far better than anyone in our community does,” he says. “They live it and breathe it, it’s in their prayers and their recognitions.” Sustainability is a key component of the district’s future, and is part of the district’s official community plan. “I think

that we’re on a long, positive path to try to set right many of the things that the first probably hundred years anyway man did wrong,” says Walton. Development in various forms will likely continue in the district’s future and there will be more traffic, more economic activity, he admits. “But I think that we’re better at doing that now.” Walton moved with his family to the North Shore from Wales when he was six, which was just about 60 years ago, and has lived in West Vancouver, Lynn Valley, Delbrook, and Upper Capilano. In all those years he has never lived more than a block or two away from green space or creek beds. And that was a conscious decision. “It’s just a part of so many of us who have spent our lives here. It’s just in our blood,” he says of spending time in the North Shore’s natural environment. “It’s a very special place.” For more info about the district’s anniversary celebrations visit dnv.org/celebrating-125-years.

The Ambitious City highlights how the thriving, multicultural City of North Vancouver grew rapidly in only 100 years. It starts with the migration of the Squamish people to Burrard Inlet, and covers the settlement of Moodyville in the 1800s up to the city’s incorporation in 1907. Published in honour of the city’s 2007 centennial, The Ambitious City is an engaging collection of first-person accounts, archival photos and illustrations.

Compiled with the help of Deep Cove Heritage Society, Echoes Across Seymour provides a comprehensive insight into the history and character of each of Seymour’s 19 neighbourhoods. Wonderful poems and charming archival photos help to showcase the Seymour area as a vibrant and modern community striving to find the right balance between development and nature.

Lonsdale Avenue, running from the waters of Burrard Inlet to the mountains of the Coast Range, has long been the community’s de facto main street. Its history dates back to 1903, when a large parcel of land was purchased by Alfred St. George Hamersley, and was called the Town of Lonsdale and then later called North Vancouver. Lonsdale Avenue became the spine along which the community developed. Rare vintage photographs help to illustrate the Lonsdale community’s fascinating history.

A comprehensive collection of North Shore hiking trails, Off the Beaten Path brings you detailed information on 39 routes winding across the North Shore, plus two in the Pemberton area. An invaluable resource for dog walkers, casual hikers and hardcore outdoor enthusiasts alike! Besides information on elevation gain and approximate hiking times, many entries also include historical information on points of interest such as old homesteads and logging camps.

ocated on the shores of Stave Lake in Mission, BC, Zajac Ranch for Children provides summer camps for children and young adults with chronic, life-threatening or debilitating conditions. These experiences give participants the opportunity to explore the great outdoors while developing greater social and environmental awareness, increased self-confidence and positive growth in attitudes towards physical activity. Each summer, Zajac Ranch welcomes hundreds of children aged 7-17 with a wide variety of medical conditions.

“My son is quadriplegic. He loves physical activity but is very limited. Zajac Ranch offers activities that have been adapted so that he can participate. He waits the year to be ‘free’ to do things everyone else gets to do. Zajac Ranch is a happiness builder.” - Parent of Elliot, Zajac Ranch Camper
