Beautiful Beach Community Below the Mountains

Ambleside Village
Ambleside lies on the waterfront and most of its shops line the streets of Bellevue and the main street of Marine Drive. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, clothing, boutique and specialty food stores. Walking through Ambleside is truly a treat and the beach is only a half block away. A great place to watch the Alaskan cruise ships sailing during summer and the carol ships during Christmas. Ambleside is the first community you encounter on Marine Drive just west of the Lions Gate Bridge. Visit the waterfront parks and the old ferry ticket office which used to sell tickets to passengers going to and coming from Vancouver before the bridge was built. Above Ambleside is the British Properties which was built by the CPR in the 1940s and the reason for building the bridge.

The concept of Prelude is “Lifestyle”. Each item is carefully hand selected to ensure it is versatile, wearable and works easily into your wardrobe. “I wanted to create a store that carried items that you’d actually wear-not just hang in your closet”, says Prelude owner, Maureen Elliott. “We all have busy lifestyles and need easy, flexible wardrobe pieces that work into all facets of our lives. Whether you are working, picking up the kids, traveling or just kicking around, you shouldn’t have to have 3 separate wardrobes to cover all your fashion needs”, says Elliott.
30 In the summer, if you get to the pier before 6:00 PM, you can see the cruise ships go by. They’re quite close, so you can make out a lot of details. Also, around 4:30 PM the Royal Hudson Steam Train chugs by. Kids love standing by the track and waving to the people on board. If your kids get bored John Lawson Park (west of pier) and Ambleside Beach (east of pier) are minutes away. What I like most of all though is at dusk when the dock lamps go on. The soft lights glimmer on the water, the air is warm, and you’re fishing--need I say more.www.findfamilyfun.com

36 Dundarave Village was once a sleepy residential outpost to Vancouver. Before the Lions Gate Bridge was built people would row over to their summer cottages. The word Dundarave comes from a Gaelic word having reference to a ‘two-oared boat’. The village was named in the early 1900’s after Dundarave Castle in Scotland, the ancestral home of the Macnaghten Clan, by Professor Russell Macnaghten, a Professor of Greek at the University of B.C. Dundarave Village is an ideal place for children with its sandy beach and waterfront playground. The historic Dundarave pier and picturesque milelong seawall are enjoyed year round by both tourists and locals alike.

Dundarave Village 10.1011r-20P.jpg Hollyburn Ski Camp (1927 - 1945) “The Oscar Pearson Era” (L-R) Oscar Pearson and Buddy Barker with bear at the Hollyburn Ski Camp, June 17, 1928 (Buddy Barker aka Win Oliver collection, HHS archives)
The Cabin Community On Hollyburn Ridge Cabin building on Hollyburn Ridge became a popular pastime in the late 1920’s after the Hollyburn Ski Camp/Lodge opened in January, 1927. Typically, a group of young people would decide to build a cabin, look for a suitable site close to fresh water and building supplies in the form of flume boards or trees, and then go about building their ‘home on the Ridge’. Lacking skills, many learned through trial and error. Sharing knowledge gained from experience was quite common between cabin groups. In this way, a strong sense of community developed. By 1931, over 200 cabins had been built which caused much concern in the District of West Vancouver. In 1932, Scotty Finlayson, with the approval of the cabin owners on the Ridge, was appointed Park Ranger by the district. Scotty approved sites for cabin building, selected the trees that could be used for construction, collected the annual fees for the leased lots, dealt with ‘domesticated’ bears, and patrolled creeks that supplied West Vancouver with water - all for a monthly salary of $25.00. So began the long and sometimes difficult relationship between the Hollyburn cabin owners and the District of West Vancouver.
38 In 1973, concerned about the future of their heritage cabins and a cherished way of life, cabin owners formed the Hollyburn Ridge Association. Its objectives were to: 1. Protect and preserve the Hollyburn cabin area; 2. Promote the recreational use and public access to the Hollyburn Ridge area; 3. Negotiate with all levels of government to encourage and promote the aims and objectives of the Hollyburn Ridge Association. The Hollyburn Ridge Association’s policy of negotiation rather than confrontation has proved effective, and (for now at least), the threats to the viability of the cabin community have been allayed. While the cabins on Grouse and Seymour have now disappeared, Hollyburn has endured, the only community in the Lower Mainland to do so. Catherine Rockandel, 2006 President of the Hollyburn Ridge Association, speculates on reasons. “Firstly, there were more of them to start with, there was amore active community, so they were more well maintained, and there was strong local and vocal leadership that advocated for their survival and continues to do so through the Hollyburn Ridge Association. . . You often see one community able to organize while another cannot. The biggest reason is the amount of social capital or trust, collaboration through volunteerism and organized community events, individual leadership, etc. Hollyburn was a community.” Hollyburn Heritage Society www.hollyburnheritage.ca

48 Welcome to Doc’s Restaurant & Pub. We are located on Bowen Island, a short distance from Vancouver in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Bowen Island has a long history as a holiday resort destination. A name closely associated with that history is the Union Steamship Company of British Columbia. In the early 1900’s holiday excursionists boarded luxury passenger ships headed for the ‘Happy Isle.’ Their day could be spent at large company picnics, walking the trails around Deep Bay or Killarney Lake or taking a dip in the cool clear waters of Howe Sound. The evenings could be spent dancing at the Dance Pavilion or just enjoying the company of friends. Some stayed the weekend in one of nearly 200 cottages owned by the Union Steamship Company. You can capture a bit of the magic of times past with a visit to our quaint resort. You can walk the same trails that have been traveled for almost a century, or sleep in one of two original Union Steamship cabins. A visit to Doc Morgan’s Restaurant & Pub will give you a taste of the history of the island.

Bowen Island History Bowen Island In the first half of the 20th century, life on Bowen was dominated by a resort operated by the Terminal Steamship Company (1900 - 1920) and the Union Steamship Company (1920 - 1962). These companies provided steamer sevice to Vancouver, and the Horseshoe Bay - Bowen Island Ferry began in 1921. When the Union Steamship resort closed in the 1960s the island returned to a quiet period of slow growth. In the 1940s and 1950s, the artists’ colony called Lieben[6] was a retreat for many famous Canadian authors, artists, and intellectuals including Earle Birney, Alice Munro, Dorothy Livesay, Margaret Laurence, A.J.M. Smith, Jack Shadbolt, Eric Nicol and Malcolm Lowry, who finished his last book, October Ferry to Gabriola, there. It is now a National Historic Site of Canada. In the 1980s, real estate pressures in Vancouver accelerated growth on Bowen and currently the local economy is largely dependent on commuters who work on the mainland in Greater Vancouver. Prior to becoming a municipality, Bowen Island was part of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, made up of small communities and municipalities. However, in the 1980s the island transferred to the Greater Vancouver Regional District after a campaign organized by developers and realtors. A campaign to make the island an autonomous municipality was successful after two referendum attempts.
50 The Island has several small businesses including marinas, cafes, gift shops, grocery stores, a pharmacy, restaurants, garden and flower shops, a building supply shop and a Chamber of Commerce. In June 2007, First Credit Union, a full-service bank, opened its doors in Snug Cove. There is also a North Shore Credit Union automated banking machine. Groceries are available at the Snug Cove General Store and the Ruddy Potato Whole Foods Market. Shops are concentrated around Snug Cove and, further into the island, Artisan Square. There are also several restaurants, including The Snug, Miksa, and Tuscany. Bowen Island has a high proportion of artists and artisans, and the Bowen Island Pub on Trunk Road regularly features live music.There is also a 2,746 metre (3,003 yard) 130 Slope rated 9-hole golf course. Rent a kayak and paddle around Snug Cove or venture around the island. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking, on the ferry dock at Snug Cove, 604-947-9266 (info@bowenislandkayaking.com)

* BIOGRAPHY
My Greek Barber’s Diary by Christopher Best The heartwarming true story of how one man influenced so many over the course of his lifetime. Born in a small village in Militsa, Greece in 1935, George Chronopoulos lived through the Nazi occupation of Greece in World War II and the Greek Civil War of 1944 - 1949. In the early days his village had no electricity yet his family lived like kings on their farm. His father decided that he would become a barber in Pilos, where he had moved as a young boy to be by the sea for health reasons. It wasn’t long before he moved to Kalamata and then to Athens where he eventually joined the army. Because he was a barber he was in great demand in the army and got to know Generals and others in high command. After the army everyone was leaving Greece, so his father said, “If you want to go, I do not mind,” and he too emigrated, to Montreal. In Montreal he married a girl from back home, Voula. He learned how to do the latest in styles and razor cuts from the guys in Montreal, Perry Como Style, Hollywood Style and in 1960 they moved to Vancouver. His first job in Vancouver was at the Hotel Vancouver Barber Shop for three days. Next, he moved to a small shop at 41st & Oak. “I’ve got the best barber in town,” bragged the owner. It wasn’t long before Gus Lloyd spotted him and hired him for his Waverly Barber Shop on Georgia Street. Jack Wasserman wrote about him, “There is a new guy in town who does styles for men. Men’s hairdos.” Lots of business types came into the Waverly and the lifestyle was contagious. Seeing himself as an entrepreneur, he went into partnership with Gus, they bought a building on Richards Street and opened the Bouzouki Greek Coffee Shop. He opened his own hair salon, the Riviera on Seymour, in 1964. (see p 116)

Grouse Mountain is one of the North Shore Mountains of the Pacific Ranges in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Exceeding 1,200 m (4,000 feet) in altitude at its peak, is the site of an alpine ski area in the winter season overlooking Greater Vancouver with four chairlifts facilitating 26 runs. In the summer, the mountain features lumberjack shows and a 2.9 km (1.8 mi.) hiking trail known as the Grouse Grind. Year-round operations include a 100-seat mountaintop theatre and a wildlife refuge. Public access to the mountain top is by a Swiss Garaventa aerial tramway, or the Grouse Grind hiking trail.

Handsworth Secondary School
A Brief Director’s History: The band program at Handsworth was started by Mildred Twiss in the 1960s. Then, Joe Berarducci taught music at Handsworth from about September 1969 to June 1971. Brian G’Froerer joined Joe in 1970. Bob Rankin arrived in 1971 when Joe went on leave. When Brian left to join the Vancouver Symphony french horn section in 1974, Joe Berarducci returned to the school and taught alongside Bob Rankin. Bob taught music at Handsworth from September 1971 to June 1975 when he was appointed District Coordinator of Music. In those four years the Handsworth music program increased greatly. David McConchie was band director in the ‘75 – 76 school year. In ‘76 Bob Rebagliati took over the program and built it up into a power house band program until he retired in 2004. In 1994 Peter van Ooyen joined the team as Director of Orchestras. Peter remained through 2010. Keith Woodward worked with Bob for 20 years and remained for another 10 after Bob retired. David Bradshaw took over from Keith and runs the program to this day. There is a book being compiled on the Handsworth Music program and they are looking for music alumni.

Musical Moments
When Bob Rebagliati took over the program in September 1976 he built it into a championship program through 2004. One of the first things Bob did was establish a Parent’s Committee BPAC. Pat Nicholson was the Chair. Her sons Bruce and Neil were both in the band. Bruce Nicholson has gone on to be a fine bass trombone player in Big Bands around Vancouver. Bob continued a senior jazz band and started a junior jazz band. He also ran guitar classes and a vocal jazz group. In the 1978-9 school year Bob’s concert band with only 27 players placed first in the Kiwanis Festival. “When you only have 27 members everyone has to play like a soloist. There is no place to hide. They were great kids,” Bob told me. Bob borrowed a catch phrase from a mentor in Kelowna KSS, Brian Todd: EXCELLENCE DEMANDS DEDICATION! Bob always strived for a culture of excellence. In 1979 his senior jazz band took first place at the New West Jazz Festival and then he took them to the Nationals in Vancouver where they got a special award for excellence. It was a small big band with only 13 players but they were all stars! Renee Rosnes, Norm Fischer, Terry Madsen, Tom Colclough. Good improvisers! Bob has a recording of that band. He started recording his bands on a regular basis starting in 1981. Over the 28 years Bob spent at Handsworth his bands made many trips including to: Whitehorse, the Saskatoon International Band Festival. [At the Saskatoon Festival Lynn Skinner one of the judges came up to him and invited his band to be guests at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Idaho the coming year. Bob knew half the band would be graduating so unfortunately they didn’t make the gig.] Excerpts from a book being compiled on the Handsworth Music Program due out in September 2017.

Deep Cove
It is affectionately referred to as ‘the cove’ by the locals. Located at the foot of Mount Seymour, the cove faces due east, fronting on to Indian Arm, itself a branch of Burrard Inlet, which forms Vancouver’s inner harbour. The area is the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh and Sḵwxwú7mesh, the indigenous, of the Coast Salish First Nations. Deep Cove is 13 kilometres (8 miles) from downtown Vancouver. Poet and novelist Malcolm Lowry and his wife Margerie lived on and off in a squatters shack from 1940 to 1954 here in what is now Cates Park. Lowry won the Governor General’s Award for his novel Under the Volcano.

Take a ride over on the seabus from Downtown Vancouver to the Lonsdale Quay. Spend an afternoon at the market and browse the boutiques and eateries. Stroll up Lower Lonsdale Avenue and visit the shops on Lonsdale and the side streets. See the new development taking place alongside heritage buildings which are well preserved. Hop on a bus up to Upper Lonsdale. Stroll more shops and visit the eateries. Be sure to look behind you at the view of Vancouver and the harbour. Grouse Mountain is not far away and you can take the gondola up to the top for the most scenic vista available in the lower mainland. In winter you can go skiing. To the east is Seymour Mountain. You can drive up Seymour and see more great views. These mountains have remained virtually untouched since time immortal. Be sure not to miss the Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction built in 1889. Watch First Nations carvers at work and walk the bridge for a truly westcoast experience. Visit the Capilano Fish Hatchery designed to restore the dwindling stocks of Coho salmon and Steelhead trout. The Hatchery produces over 1 million Coho, up to 2.5 million Chinook and 10,000-20,000 Steelhead every year.

After crossing the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, experience a magnificent Rain Forest Walk in Capilano Canyon with captivating views of the Canyon below. If you like shopping in big malls, Capilano Mall is located west of Lonsdale on Marine Drive. If the mall alone is not large enough for you, there is a Walmart attached. One of the nicest places to visit in the summer on the north shore is Deep Cove. This picturesque waterway nestled in by the mountains has lots of parks to sit and eat a lunch and enjoy the view. Try kayaking!

Indian Arm Deep Cove
Indian Arm is a salt-water fjord that extends about 20 km (12 mi) north from Burrard Inlet. There are no crossings, and road access is limited to the communities on the southern portion of the arm. The steep mountain slopes are so impassable that most have seen no development, despite the proximity to a major city. Indian River, marked by a small dock at the north end of the arm, can be reached by boat from Deep Cove or by a logging road from Squamish.

BOOKS
* BIOGRAPHY
The Life & Times of the Legendary
Mr. D by Christopher Best This sixth and final book on Arthur Delamont and his Vancouver Boys’ Band is also the first in a series on the History of the Youth Band Movement in Canada. The movement started here in Kitsilano in 1933 when the boy’s won the juvenile band championship of the world at the Chicago World’s Fair. All Vancouver became juvenile band crazy and bands sprouted up everywhere. Everyone wanted their sons/ daughters to play in a band. Arthur started no less than seven himself in and around Vancouver. As he began taking trips with his band to the Old Country (England), in 1934, the boys travelled by train across Canada stopping and playing along the way. Soon the places they visited all wanted youth bands of their own spurred on by the fine playing of his boys and their gentlemanly manner. Arthur’s boys went on to have bands of their own and teach in the schools. It wasn’t until the early 1960s that band became accredited in the public schools in B.C. due to the fine example and hard work of many dedicated music educators. Jump ahead to 2014. Ministers and trustees are cutting the arts programs like never before. Band in the school curriculum is threatened, branded as a frill and easy pickings for ill-informed public officials who know nothing of the efforts it took to establish band in the curriculum in the first place. This book (and subsequent books), set the record straight. They tell the story of how band got into the public school system. The next book in the series is titled: Greater Vancouver School Band Programs from the 1930s to the Present. It records/documents the fine band programs that have and still exist in the public schools today. These books will preserve forever the band legacy of not only Vancouver but eventually of Canada.

Chickadee is for the chic chick! It is seriously a hidden gem! They carry brands they have at Holts and Aritzia, but in a less pretensious atmosphere. Some stuff is expensive, but truly not everything. The person buying has a great eye for mixing items from all price points. The layout of the store is almost like being in a fashionista’s walk in closet. The selection may not be as wide as other stores but it shows that the owner puts some thought and time into hand picking beautiful pieces of clothing for the boutique. Yelp Reviews

Why choose compounds over comercially available products? Imagine if your child needs to take medication, but is disgusted with the taste of the large pill. She spits it onto the floor. You toss the dirty pill into the garbage and try again with another pill. The same instance occurs. Was part of the pill absorbed? What do you do now? What if the pill was flavoured and smaller? Imagine how easy it would be for your kid to swallow kid-sized pills. The medicine stays in, they enjoy the taste and you wll not have wasted any of the pills! Medications are often difficult for a variety of patients to take.Think outside of children: people afraid of needles, the elderly, those with allergies, and even our furry friends at home! Medications on the market can be filled with ingredients causing the patient to reject the medication. Our compounding is accessible for your needs, and can modify medications by extracting certain products like gluten sugar, soy, casein and even dyes. in addition we are able to customize dosages, forms, as well as strengths, so that medications can be taken as both prescribing doctor and patient see fit! Extra Services for our Customers: * Free usage of in-house blood pressure monitor * Free blood pressure and glucose monitoring booklets * Free lessons on how to use blood glucose meters

At Wink Optometry, the goal is to not only have our clients find the perfect frame, but to come out actually knowing what they purchased. A lot of the time, consumers will be pushed into making a purchase they don’t fully understand but because of fancy lingo and a convincing sales person, they buy things without knowing what it really was. At Wink it’s all about helping our clients make educated purchases so they know what they’re buying and why they’re spending their money – and of course to make sure the client comes out with a snazzy new look. Everything starts with understanding the eyes and how they function as a whole so Dr. Natasha will explain what’s going on with patients’ prescriptions and go through preventative measures to ensure that all the eyes that come through Wink will see for many years to come.

THE COMMUNITY AT SIMON FRASER
Once the site of an isolated commuter campus, the Burnaby mountaintop is now home to a complete community, where many residents walk, cycle, or take transit to work, where they can find care and schooling for their children, entertainment and continuing education for themselves, and where they enjoy doorstep access to one of the largest and most beautiful protected wilderness areas in the Metro Vancouver Region. More than 3,500 residents now live in UniverCity, and will ultimately be home to more than 10,000 people. Our Neighbourhoods: East Highlands The first neighbourhood developed at UniverCity is located on the east side of Burnaby Mountain. Designed for beauty, accessibility and convenience, all residences are an easy walking distance to SFU, to transit and to the shops and services on University High Street. This neighbourhood also features University Highlands Elementary School, a LEEDÂŽ Gold designed school that provides space for 275 students. University High Street University High Street is a hub of activity, with a bustling public plaza and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and services. Linked by pedestrian pathways, this village-style block contains residences and over 25 local stores and (continued on page 108)

services, everything from coffee shops, a bank, and restaurants, to a 23,000square-foot, full-service grocery store, an organic deli, a hair stylist, and a pharmacy. Each new building on High Street will offer new services and amenities, providing the daily needs of residents, students, and visitors without having to step foot off Burnaby Mountain. West Highlands Nestled among the trees, trails, and streams of Burnaby Mountain, West Highlands will offer dramatic views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains, while offering the convenience of nearby University High Street shops and services, transit, and proximity to SFU. The Slopes The South Slopes neighbourhood is designed as a terraced hillside community, featuring low-rise, predominantly wood-frame homes for families. The slope and terraced design will take full advantage of views from southern Vancouver Island to Mount Baker in Washington State. South Neighbourhood Although planning for the South Neighbourhood is a few years away, preliminary designs anticipate a mix of university and residential uses, including possibilities for a second elementary school, another childcare facility, and an employment centre, all integrated with the existing community and campus.

BOOK
* BIOGRAPHY
Rise & Fall of Canadian Airlines by Sid Fattedad The demise of Canada’s other national air carrier, Canadian Airlines International in 1999 was heart wrenching to employees, unions, management and to the citizens of Canada. Confusion and stories abound as to what actually happened. This book sets the record straight as the man behind the employee rescue plan to save the airline decides to tell his story. Sid Fattedad emigrated to Vancouver from Hong Kong in 1968 to play drums in a rock and roll band, the Five Man Cargo. Having worked as an articling student in Hong Kong, the lustre of the music industry soon wore off and he found himself working as a junior accounting clerk for Canadian Pacific Airlines. It wasn’t long before Canadian Pacific became CP Air, the planes were painted orange and Sid became senior clerk of corporate accounting. The rising cost of oil in the 1970s, labour unrest and the acquisition of new planes made running an airline hard on the bottom line and the accounting department was always in the forefront. It was work all week, socialize at the pubs on the weekend with a tightly knit group called the ‘boat crew,’ who would often travel to England commandeering river boats on the canals of the Norfolk Broads, visiting pubs along the way. Sid became known as Kato. After receiving his CGA Sid was promoted to Travelling Auditor where he learned first hand CP Air’s overseas operations. The ‘night of the long knives, the Kremlin and ‘The General,’ all play into the story as the 1980s saw a sea of change at CP Air… Colussy fails to purchase Wardair and Sid is named to the board of TransPacific Tours Limited a little known but highly profitable subsidiary company. Don Carty purchases Nordair and Sid becomes Comptroller of CP Air. A backwards take-over. Carty attempts to purchase PWA but is thwarted by the FASB and PWA purchases CP Air.

In the seventies he opened a second location in the basement of the Hyatt Hotel called The Royal Riviera. He continued buying other businesses, mainly restaurants at first and later condos. He started his own painting and renovation companies. His real estate and business dealings took him first to the US and then to Britain, Switzerland, Bucharest and India. He and Voula raised three daughters over the years and was instrumental in raising money for the Greek community through his connections and for many other charities in Vancouver and across Canada. Church and family were always foremost in his life!
