Welcome to the neighbourhoods of Vancouver. This guide is a really nice yellow pages/ business diirectory to the neighbourhoods of Vancouver’s westside. It is for both locals and visitors alike and should prove useful to new Vancouverites as well. Vancouver’s westside officially extends from Ontario Street in the east, from Marine Drive in the south to Kits Beach in the north and west (including UBC). The Canada Line skytrain runs under Cambie Street from YVR to downtown. There is talk about building one to UBC. There are two new community centres located on the westside, Hillcrest and Creekside Community Rec. Centre. I was born on the eastside of Vancouver but I spent alot of time on the westside growing up. There was no Oakridge in those days, just bush, where we kids built our forts and rode our bikes along the dirt paths. Now there is major redevelopment planned for Oakridge. One of the nicest aspects about the westside is its old heritage schools located on picturesque tree lined boulevards. Built in the early 20th c, they remain a reminder of our early heritage. UBC is probably undergoing more change than anywhere else on the westside. It is much more though than a business directory. There is heritage and stories from the ‘hood’ and people. Take it with you and visit the different neighbourhoods throughout the year. Tourists love it too! So get out and explore your neighbourhoods. Christopher Best

4 ~ Sell Off Vacations Robinson Lighting & Bath Centre We are constantly adding new products to our showrooms across the country, and what you see in-store is only a fraction of what’s available to you through Robinson Lighting & Bath Centres. Talk to our showroom professionals for the latest news in current trends and innovations. Don’t just add light to your home - add the right light. Properly designed lighting sets the mood in a room and can make the difference between a cold, impersonal feeling and a warm and inviting space. At Change, we respect your natural beauty. That’s why our lingerie doesn’t dictate how your body should look or promise a whole new you. What it will do is give you a variety of styles in a fit that feels just right. It’s all about feeling beautiful. So feel free to express yourself. To explore the different facets of your femininity. And the woman within. This is the philosophy behind Change and the key to our success. When we design our lingerie in Denmark and manufacture at our own factories in China, our way of thinking is that every part of the bra should support the best of every woman. And she should experience the best quality for the best price.
The Running Room is proudly a family-owned company. It originated in 1984 out of founder John Stanton’s wish to purchase quality running shoes from someone knowledgeable about the sport. New to the sport of running, John had a thirst for knowledge as well as a desire to buy the right product. This entrepreneurial retailer decided to fill a niche in the marketplace by opening a small oneroom store in the renovated living room of an old house in Edmonton, hence the name, “Running Room.” The concept was highly successful, and the stores have since expanded to over 114 locations across Canada and the United States.
CAMBIE RISE ~ 5 Inouï Salon is dedicated to providing you with our expertise on everything “you.” We stay in touch with current needs, wants and trends. While we have extensive training in all fields of beauty, including health issues, the best part is learning from each other and sharing that knowledge with you. Enhancing your beauty from the inside out is our goal, whether it is just a simple hairstyle, a cut, coloring, or getting the right polish on your hands and feet, we do it. We also work with a range of affiliates to provide you with more knowledge and opportunities for maintaining a healthier lifestyle while dealing with all the changes that so often occur in our lives.

De Dutch Pannekoek House John Dys opened his first place in 1970. He called it the “Frying Dutchman” and his hamburger sales became famous for predicting elections. He called them “Hamburger Polls.” On a trip home to the Netherlands, his father took him to a traditional Dutch restaurant where pannekoeken are served for lunch and dinner. Not breakfast. John decided then and there he would bring the pannekoek back to Canada. And so, the first “Original Dutch Pannekoek House” opened July of 1975 on the corner of Knight Street and 25th Avenue in Vancouver. This location is still in operation today. Pip Squeak Pups Cozy, comfortable, and friendly. We create a safe environment where dogs are encouraged to engage in healthy, balanced play as well as rest and relaxation. Dogs are members of our family. Our best friends. We want them to be loved constantly, and live fun and fulfilling lives. We never want to leave them home alone for longer than a few hours, and especially not in the confines of a cage. You best friend becomes our best friend for life! To provide a safe and cozy place for dogs to roam freely, void of cages or unnecessary restrictions. A place where they can be themselves, have fun, play to their hearts content, nap and enjoy the company of their new friends.

Kearney Funeral Services has been serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for over 100 years. Founder Thomas P. Kearney entered the funeral business for love, hoping to be introduced to the beautiful young opera singer, Catherine, who he admired for helping her mother with grieving families at their local church. Within a few years, he was offered sole ownership of the funeral business and made a commitment to carry it on. Soon, Thomas and Catherine were married, raising three children and active partners in their funeral work. Today, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren continue the family business from three locations - 450 West 2nd Avenue in Vancouver; 219 6th Street in New Westminster;, and #1015772 176th St. in Cloverdale. Of the 15 Canadian funeral homes once located in the City of Vancouver, Kearney’s is the last to remain Canadian and familyowned. We greatly value our reputation of compassionate care and commitment to personalized service to our families. As we enter our fourth generation of service to the bereaved, we are honoured to be entrusted with the care of our communities in their greatest time of need.

12 ~ Your Water Matters (continued from page 10) There is also a
strong association between diabetes, obesity and a history of smoking. Your Optometristcan detect the presence of a cataract during an eye exam using an instrument called a biomicroscope or slit lamp. This instrument is a special high powered microscope used to look at all layers of the eye. Cataracts can also show up when your optometrist takes a digital photo of the back of the eye, as the image will be less sharp than at previous eye exams. Your Water Matters Info source for need-to-know answers about your water quality concerns. Innovative products for water treatment, specifically for your local water conditions on display at watermatters™ store located on Laurel St (between West Broadway and West 10th Ave) in Vancouver. Mission: To provide new ways of thinking and practical solutions for water and wellness related problems that are caused by old paradigm practises and beliefs.

BROADWAY (CAMBIE TO OAK) ~ 13 Vivantys was created in response to the growing consumer demand for healthy, fresh and delicious options in the Quick Service Restaurant market. Uniquely positioned as a smart, attractive alternative to the typical fast food available today, Vivantys is our newest innovative concept founded on a commitment to nutrition and environmental responsibility. Our goal is to deliver the freshest, besttasting quality food at a reasonable price in a welcoming environment, while honoring our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We use fresh, quality ingredients, hormone-free meats, organic free-range eggs, oceanwise fish, and we seek local and organic ingredients whenever possible.
The IVIDO brand was conceived to showcase the unique harmony and sensuality that every woman’s body possesses, irrespective of their size or weight. Here’s what a typical day at IVIDO looks like: We open every day at 10:00 am, always looking forward to greeting our regular customers, showing them what’s new in store, and seeing their enthusiasm toward our ever evolving collections. Needless to say, it is also exciting, and a great pleasure meeting and getting to know new clients. We always like to introduce our first-time customers to our spectacular jeans collection, but a typical response among them is that they already have plenty of jeans; they don’t need any. This could be a challenge for most denim retailers, but for us, it presents an opportunity to highlight the value of our product. Once a woman tries our brand, she realizes that our jeans are different... that she has been keeping nothing but average, run-of-themill jeans in her closet. Until now... Easily accessible if you take the 99 B line, Number 9, Canada Line (Cambie Station) or Number 15 (Second block west of Cambie on the south side of Broadway).
14 ~ IRIS What is a Cataract? A cataract occurs when the naturally clear lens inside the eye (responsible for focusing light) becomes cloudy or opaque and blocks light from entering the eye. The result is blurry, hazy or obstructed vision. People with cataracts often have difficulty seeing at night or in low light conditions. The changes in the lens can also change your eyeglass prescription making you more nearsighted or producing astigmatism. If you start to remove your glasses to read when previously you needed them for reading this could be a sign you are developing cataracts. Cataracts are commonly associated with aging and a high amount of sun exposure over your lifetime. If during your childhood and young adulthood, you were exposed to a lot of sun and did not wear Sunglasses with 100% UV protection, you could be at risk to develop cataracts. (continued on page 8)

18 ~ Shop Cocoon Allison opened Clementine For Hair in 2006. Her vision was to create a salon that was inviting, comfortable and a place where clients feel at ease. A little less techno music, a little more calm. She takes hair very seriously... but not herself. Michelle joined Clementine For Hair in 2007 and has been an integral part of the team ever since. She’s decided that blondes have more fun. Jennifer moved from Toronto to Vancouver 5 years ago and her friends call her JP. She loves fuzzy peaches and long walks on the beach. Seriously. Miles likes retro style and sweet fades. Don’t let his tattoos fool you, this guy’s only in one gang and that’s the Clementine For Hair Gang (it’s not a gang it’s just us). Baby Avenue is a Vancouver based baby clothing store that focus on quality brands such as Beba Bean, Aden + Anais, Trumpette, Mackage, Juicy Couture, Kaloo, and many more. Baby Avenue is a Canadian store founded by Lisa Yu, currently operating out of Vancouver British Columbia. Lisa’s two year old daughter Avva and newborn Marcus have been the main inspiration for her new career path. As a new mom, Lisa believes it is important to choose organic and natural materials whenever possible. She also values eco-friendly and local brands. With that in mind, Lisa’s mission is to market an innovative collection of some of the best designed and highest quality infant and toddler products that she can find.

20 ~. Your Neighbourhood Toy Store! We’ve been the Neighbourhood Toy Store since 1980, and owner Lee Richmond has been here since the beginning. She’s watched those first young Kaboodles customers grow and now they’re bringing their little ones to shop! We’ve grown bigger, adding two cool locations — Granville Island and Downtown Victoria — and now a new fourth location: Cambie Street at 18th Avenue! Although we’ve greatly expanded our toy selection, Kaboodles is still at heart all about kids and community! At Kaboodles, we know that “play” is not only fun AND important, it’s also how children learn and grow. We select our toys, games and puzzles with care, based on quality, play value, and “fun-quotient.” Our buyers are notorious at toy fairs and trade shows for behaving like 8 year olds… bouncing, jumping, squeezing, even flinging the toys about! A toy has to pass our Fun Test to be on Kaboodles’ shelves!
Kaboodles TOY STORE we take fun seriously

48 ~ Canada’s National Auction House Chali-Rosso Art Gallery is located on the exclusive Gallery Row in Vancouver, Canada where we opened our doors to the public in May of 2005. Our collection is focused on graphic works of the most well known Surrealist artists including Pablo PICASSO, Salvador DALÍ, Marc CHAGALL, Joan MIRÓ and Henri MATISSE. In addition, we also offer works by REMBRANDT van Rijn, Pierre-Auguste RENOIR, Edgar DEGAS, Édouard MANET, Andy WARHOL and a variety of others. - See more at: http://www.chalirosso.com/about-us/#sthash.KazmEE4n.dpuf
The graphic works our gallery presents are all original lithographs, etchings, linocuts, and woodcuts. In contrast to contemporary art these artists have already stood the test of time. They have earned their place in the history of art and their names are a solid guarantee for not just a beautiful artwork but also a wise investment.
Chali-Rosso Gallery The gallery acquires museum quality works by Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Rembrandt van Rijn from private collections in Europe.

GRANVILLE RISE ~ 49 Art collector Kenneth G. Heffel opened the doors to Heffel Gallery Limited in 1978 in Vancouver, BC, with the idea to share his expertise and enthusiasm for Canadian contemporary and historical art with the public. The gallery, which is still housed in its original brick and granite heritage location along Vancouver’s Gallery Row, is now run by second generation fine art dealers Robert and David Heffel. Building upon the legacy established by their father, Robert and David have developed the Heffel name into the foremost resource for fine art in the Pacific Northwest. Heffel’s is now Canada’s national auction house with their purchase of a buildings at 13 Hazelton Avenue in Toronto and 1840 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest in Montreal. With these acquisitions, Heffel’s has become the only fine art auction house to span the country with offices in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

And finally, that they’re served in an intimate setting of genuine hospitality.

We take great care to ensure that every shoe is going to feel great from the moment our consumer tries it on. The beaches of Southern California had long been an epicenter of a relaxed, casual lifestyle, a lifestyle that Brian felt was a perfect fit for his brand. So he founded the UGG brand, began selling his sheepskin boots and they were an immediate sensation. By the mid 1980’s, the UGG brand became a symbol of relaxed southern California culture, gaining momentum through surf shops and other shops.
SOUTH GRANVILLE ~ 55 James Perse was born in Los Angeles, California in 1972. James’ childhood was split between the beach, the hockey rink and the floor of his father’s innovative Los Angeles boutique, Maxfield. With Maxfield at the forefront of putting Los Angeles on the fashion map, James received an incidental education on cutting edge fashion from Europe and Asia, on modern architecture, furniture design and on the elegant and the clean-line. Ironically, sports led James to his first foray into fashion. Obsessed with baseball caps, he could never find one that was well designed - with quality construction, shape, fabric and coloring. In 1991, James set out to make the ideal cap for Maxfield and it was not long before customers became clients - film directors ordered hats for their cast and crew and record labels bought them for tours.

56 ~ The Stanley Theatre
The Stanley Theatre On December 15, 1930, The Stanley opened with a screening of Lillian Gish’s first talkie, One Romantic Night. This was the beginning of a love affair between the city and The Stanley. Original admission prices ranged from ten to forty cents, and included the feature, a comedy, a newsreel and a scenic. In addition to films, the early days of The Stanley featured live performances: local talent shows were put on, and Vancouver Little Theatre staged productions. During the Second World War, The Stanley theatre hosted fundraisers for the war effort. The Stanley Theatre is more than just a building. It is the heart and soul of our South Granville neigh bourhood. It draws people into our community and it creates a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the city.

Prince of Wales Secondary School The Mission of Prince of Wales Secondary School is to provide a safe, supportive learning environment within a diverse school community. This community will foster self-esteem, co-operation, and mutual respect, and will allow students and staff to pursue self-discovery and excellence. The human and physical resources of the school will support the intellectual, aesthetic, social, physical, and emotional growth of all students so that they may become lifelong learners and worthwhile contributors to the larger community. Programs: TREK Outdoor Education Program. Each year 112 students are admitted into the TREK Program. Students participate in two half-year terms, based at Prince of Wales Secondary School. Students must transfer to P.W. for the year. In the first term (Sept. – Jan.), 56 students will be “off-TREK”, while the other 56 will “on-TREK”. In the second term (Feb. – June), the student groups switch, thus completing both portions of the program. GOLD Program is intended to provide information about issues surrounding young people who are twice exceptional, who are intellectually gifted but struggle with LD or, in most cases, with learning output issues. Global Sustainability 11 is an off-timetable 4-credit elective course that combines aspects of science, social studies and leadership.

88 ~ Braces - R - Us Braces - R - Us are located on the upper level of the Arbutus Village Centre. It is the clinic of Dr. Nicki DeFrancesco. Dr. DeFrancesco has had a lot of experience bringing orthodontic care to children in sometimes extreme conditions. While working in her regular practice, she realized she had ignorned the forgotten inhabitants of our great country and set out to do something about it. After spending some time in the Arctic, she decided to open a new orthodontic charity called P.O.L.A.R. B.R.A.C.E.S. The “polar” stands for Preventive Othodontists Love Arctic Regions and “braces” stands for Braces Raise All Children’s Esteem Socially. It is now part of Othodontists for A Healthy Arctic Smile which is partially a governemt funded charity. She did not do it all alone. She had lots of help from people who encouraged and supported her in developing the organization.
A CLEAR CHOICE for achieving a perfect smile
There may be a few options available when it comes to straightening your teeth, but the advantages of Invisalign surpass all other alternatives, making it a clear recommendation for Dr. Nicki De Francesco.

ARBUTUS VILLAGE CENTRE ~ 89
Arbutus Village Centre to be Re-developed! Looks like Arbutus Village Centre will get a beautification/face lift starting sometime in the near future. Development could start as soon as Fall 2014. The application proposes a phased redevelopment of the existing 7 acres. Proposed are four new building blocks including two new streets. The four-quadrant design will help give access to people challenged with mobility issues. It will include a mix of residential dwellings, food store, liquor store, retail and restaurant users, offices, financial institution, underground self storage and a community space (similar to Kitsilano Neighbourhood House). The developers, Larco Investments, own Park Royal Mall, which has been undergoing extensive redevelopment as well. The Centre will remain open during redevelopment, so continue to come down and support your favorite stores. P.O.L.A.R. B.R.A.C.E.S. continued (Dr. Nicki DeFrancesco) I have had the honour of experiencing summer in the Arctic and I must express my awe and reverence for this great land of ours. I worked in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut for several years on a part time basis (on average once -a-month for five days, providing orthodontic care to Inuit children). This experience has truly opened my eyes and melted my heart. I have experienced the life and ways of the people of the midnight sun.

Pebble The lifestyle store for kids aged 0-6. Exactly what is a ‘lifestyle store for kids’? Pebble is the first baby & children’s store wholly devoted to conscious living. Our mission is to provide parents with products that help develop bright, healthy, active children and encourage a balanced approach to life. We are also frequently referred to as an ‘earthfriendly’ baby and kids’ store, which is true, although our actual mission goes far beyond that. Natural toys. Educational toys. The most fun toys. We look for toys that promote physical play. That develop problem-solving skills. That encourage reading and counting. That help kids role play and really use their imagination.
surprisingly, the toys that tend to do this best are ‘low-tech’ or ‘old school’ toys, usually made of wood or other natural materials. Moreover, with their emphasis on learning and development, they make it easier for parents to become actively involved in their child’s playtime. And none of the toys you’ll find at Pebble require batteries, thereby saving money and reducing environmental impact. We offer a carefully selected variety of kids clothing, shoes, toys, books, bedding, bath, and feeding products. Most of the products you’ll find at Pebble are either locally made, organically made, or made from natural materials (i.e. very little or no plastic or other synthetic material).

BOOK
* BIOGRAPHY - www.warfleetpress.com
The Greek Barber’s Diary by Christopher Best (coming summer 2014) 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. It wasn’t long before he was established in Vancouver. (continued see p 202)

118 ~ Hilary Miles Flowers Ltd. MANITO SILK Our silk is different because our family manages every part of the process, from the mulberry fields to manufacturing, and fulfillment to customer service. This lets us guarantee a level of quality that other silk producers simply cannot. Our family has contracted with thousands of local farmers who grow mulberry leaves and nurture the silk worms as they spin their cocoons. We have been awarded the National Poverty Alleviation Enterprise certificate from China’s State Council, in recognition of our role addressing rural poverty by supporting farmers. Once the cocoons are grown, the farmers deliver them to our family company, where they are spun into raw Mulberry silk fibers. Because the silkworms of the Bombyx mori moth are fed only mulberry leaves, the resulting silk is some of the finest available in the world. Pure white in color and made up of individual long fibers, Mulberry silk is more refined than other types of silks, such as wild silk, which are less uniform in color and texture, with shorter strands. Our decades of experience and expertise in harvesting and manufacturing raw silk is so well-respected we assisted in the drafting of China’s National Standards for the manufacture of raw silk and silk duvets. In fact, our silk is the finest quality available!

Mary Ann integrates these elements into her pieces by combining juxtaposing materials like brilliant cut diamonds with rough Aquamarine. Another aspect of her designs is her desire to work with gemstones that aren’t commonly known, such as Spinel or Chrysophrase. Andrew Costen Andrew discovered his calling for jewellery design at an early age, and at the age of 16 he began training to become a world class goldsmith. Having won numerous National and International award competitions, including the 2013 International Spectrum Awards, it seems that this dedication has paid off. Known for his unusual combinations of gemstones and metals, Andrew’s pieces range from simply classic to lavishly ornate.

122 ~ Compassionate Beauty
Cathie Easdown has seen first-hand the effects of cancer and its treatment.
Her mother and aunt battled the disease, and her cousin has recently been diagnosed. Inspired by their journey, the West Vancouver mother of two says she opened her store Compassionate Beauty in Vancouver last year to provide a comforting environment and one-stop shop for various products and services, such as masectomy bras, breast prosthesis, swimsuits, yoga wear, night wear, and wigs, as well as noninvasive pedicures and manicures. Featured services include Lymphatic massage by a registered massage therapist and medical tattooing, such as eyebrow tatoos for people who have lost their hair. Easdown calls her space an oncology boutique spa, and notes that it is specifically designed for those undergong cancer treatment, paying particular attention to their unique needs. “I’ve had a couple of clients that have come in and they just don’t feel comfortable going to their usual spas while they’re undergoing treatment. They find it much more comfortable in an environment such as this,” she explains. Easdown is a former mental health nurse who decided to open her franchise after hearing from her cousin in Calgary about the spa in that city that provided a comforting place for her. The Vancouver location is open to everyone, not just those undergoing cancer treatment. Working with clients has been rewarding because “when they walk out the door they feel great,” says Easdown. “If we can help people get through this (then) that is extremely rewarding for me.” Rosalind Duane, North Shore News

UPPER FOURTH AVENUE ~ 133 Jackson’s Meats & Deli is unique from its competition in that it is the oldest Meat Market in Vancouver. Jackson’s boasts six generations of butchers starting in Maidenhead, England in 1856, and has been a part of Vancouver’s heritage since 1911. Because Jackson’s has the advantage of being the most well-known Meat store in Vancouver, it has an established and loyal clientele. As a result of Jackson’s longevity in the meat industry, a wealth of knowledge has been passed down between generations. As butchers, the Jackson family talents are unparalleled. Plus more knowledge was brought to the table when Chris Jackson married Shayna Cooper, daughter of the former President of retail food chain Coopers Foods, Wayne Cooper. This combination of experience within these families bodes well for current and future success.
My Essentia Even the best organic mattresses and latex mattresses miss the mark when it comes to comfort. Topped with wool, organic mattresses are not known for their pressure relief. Your hips and shoulders feel this most. This is why we invented and patented a latex memory foam, a pressure relieving natural latex foam mattress that is not only natural but supremely comfortable as well. Pressure relief is measurable. Latex mattresses, or even your top-of-theline spring mattresses offer a pressure relief measured at 30+ mmhg. Essentia mattresses delivery pressure relief of 12.25 mmhg. Healthcare industry considered anything under 32mmhg pressure relieving. Your body will feel the difference with an Essentia latex mattress. Come try these Canadian made memory foam mattresses for yourself. OH MY GIFT is located on trendy 4th avenue in the heart of Kitsilano, Vancouver. Designer and owner Lynne Jacobs and her team bring a celebration of hand selected giftware that inspires and connects customers to the world around them.

Kitsilano Showboat The aim of the Kitsilano Showboat Society is to do something as a community project, to bring enjoyment to residents and tourists, and to encourage amateur talent. It is the only project of its kind, to our knowledge, that is operated on a volunteer basis and at no cost to the taxpayer. 1935 was an ideal time to begin such a program. Showboat’s founder, the late Bert Emery, passed away in 1977, and shortly thereafter the last of the founding members died. Entertainers, unable to get jobs, were willing to display their talents whenever they could, whereas people eager for entertainment, but unable to pay for it, provided an appreciative audience. In 1936, Vancouver’s Golden Jubilee year, our first stage was built by the Jubilee Committee. No dressing rooms were permitted and it had to be torn down at the end of the sea son, and sold for $25. Temporary seats which were built on the top of the bank also had to be torn down. Featured in the celebrations were swimmers, divers (from an 80-foot tower), dancers and singers from Hawaii, and the RCMP Musical ride. In 1937, the Park Board granted permission for a new stage to be built; this was accomplished by a group of volunteer workers. Only a flat deck was allowed, again no dressing rooms, so a waterproof piano box was used instead for many years. The first permanent stage, built in 1948, was just a cement slab. The plywood dressing rooms had to be erected at the (continued on page 127)

142 ~ The Naam beginning of every season and removed each fall. This stage represented a flower garden with potted shrubs and hanging flower baskets, which were on loan to us by the Vancouver Parks Board. In 1954 it was converted to represent a Mississippi Riverboat and that theme has been used ever since. Permanent dressing rooms were built as well as bleachers. In 1978, Kitsilano Pool, the largest outdoor tidal pool (in front of which the Showboat is situated), underwent major renovations to build a large outdoor heated pool. Due to construction of the pool we were unable to use the Showboat stage and, for that summer, we presented programs on the beach. 1982-83 saw major renovations to the Showboat. We added large dressing rooms, washroom facilities, and had a backdrop facelift retaining the riverboat theme. Showboat, which was incorporated as a Society in 1987, would not exist today without the tireless efforts of Captain Bea Leinbach who spent many hours reading the blueprints and convincing the Vancouver Parks Board that the stage should remain on the edge of the Kitsilano Pool. We still operate three summer months with a concert every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, weather permitting, as well as band concerts scheduled for various Sundays. For special occasions, such as the International Symphony of Fire, we arrange extra shows to coincide with their program. We stage 50 to 60 different shows per season. This means that 3,000 to 4,000 entertainers volunteer their service and an estimated 1/2 million residents of Vancouver and visitors from all over the world attend the concerts.

The Naam Restaurant The Naam is a very busy vegetarian full-service restaurant located in the heart of Vancouver’s Kitsilano district. It is the city’s oldest natural foods restaurant, with over 30 years of cooking tradition. The Naam is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We close only on Christmas day. The Naam is “funky”--wooden tables, an old wooden floor, and casual decor. In the winter we burn through about six cords of wood in our fireplace. In the summer we have a beautiful enclosed (or open as weather permits) garden patio--an extremely popular place on warm balmy evenings. We have live music every night from 7-10 pm - mostly blues, folk and jazz. We take reservations for parties over 6 people during the week with 48 hours advance notice. We DO NOT accept reservations on Friday evenings and weekends. A 15% pre-authorized gratuity is required, and tables are held only 15 minutes. There is only one Naam. Years ago we had to decide whether to get bigger- or better. We decided to just get better. We look forward to seeing you.

Hello, I am Kanako. I grew up in Japan in a traditional Japanese family. My father is a carpenter. He designs and builds traditional Japanese homes. My mother is a professional hairdresser. Growing up with two artists, creating by hand is in my nature. Before I became a hairdresser, I worked as an esthetician in Japan. One day, I was applying makeup for a client. She was beautifully dressed, and her makeup was perfect, but something was missing. Her hair didn’t look good! At that moment, I knew I wanted to study hairdressing. Now I am happy to have my own hair salon in Vancouver. bed - Trends come and go but attractive, well-made products stand the test of time.

KITSILANO ~ 165 Parthenon Market is the best small market on West Broadway, and quite possibly Vancouver. If you’re looking for any fine cheeses, deli meats or olives, I seriously doubt if you could find better value. I remember when I first moved to Vancouver five years ago I bought some medium gouda cheese at Capers for something like $35/kg, and later stumbled upon Parthenon which was selling aged gouda for around $22/kg, and really, my mind still marvels at the markup I paid for a lesser cheese from Capers. I don’t know the price difference now but I do know that the aged gouda at Parthenon is still under $30/kg, and undoubtedly still a better value. A Greek market which also offers quick bites at its deli counter. Some of the best deals in town on olive oil, feta cheese, figs, deli meats, and pita. Perfect for a quick stop prior to a picnic to get all the supplies. They carry Beyond Fair Trade Certified, co-operative operated sustainably farmed, shade grown, organic and or local products as much as possible.

“By Jove What A Band” General Gordon Elementary School is located on Bayswater Street two blocks north of Broadway. It was here in the little yellow school house on the school grounds that the world famous Vancouver Kitsilano Boys Band was founded in 1928 by Arthur W. Delamont. Band rehearsals soon moved into the school basement when the band got bigger and continued there through fifty years of unparalleld success until the band folded in 1974. Arthur Delamont, who founded the Vancouver Kitsilano Boys Band in 1928, was a pioneer in the field of music education of our youth. He was the first to travel extensively with youth bands and to show that youths between the ages of 11 and 19 could be developed into a first class musical organization. He did this by taking first place in virtually every festival he entered, start ing with the Victoria Provincial Championship in 1931. He went on to win the National Junior Band Championship title in Toronto that same year. Then in 1933, the Worlds Junior Band Championship title in Chicago. His wins were not marginal wins but without hesitation as one adjudicator remarked in Chicago. By Jove what a band’ and “there was little doubt that they totally outclassed their nearest competition,” were other adjudicators remarks. In 1934, he began taking his band to England, where he took first place in the West of England music festival and again in 1936 at the Crystal Palace where his boys beat out 35 adult bands to take the coveted Cassells Challenge Shield. With the success of his Kitsie Boys politicians and educators began to call for the formation of more youth

Yet, by the mid 40s, he had started no less than six school bands, from which he selected the best for his Kitsilano Band, they were the West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Grandview, Point Grey Junior High School and the General Gordon school bands. As more and more bands began to spring up in the school system, he eventually relinquished control of all but his Kitsilano Boys Band. Over the course of fifty years his band won 200 championships, made 14 European tours and attended 5 world fairs. The tours lasted from 2 to 5 months and three concerts a day were normal routine. While most bands would travel and perform only a handful of concerts on tour, his boys were hired out to perform engagements like professionals at seaside resorts through- out Britain, often booked well in advance for their next tour. His success story is filled with humor, excitement, tragedy and love. In 1914 he was a member of the Territorial Staff Band of the Salvation Army, on board the Empress of Ireland, which sank in the St. Lawrence, with a loss of over 1000. In 1939 he was in England with his boys when war was declared and had to sneak out under the cover of searchlights and balloons, zigzagging home down the coast of Africa and across the Atlantic, trying to avoid German U-boats. His legacy is the thousands of boys who passed through his organization and the lessons they learned. Often their sons went on to play with him as well. And over the years they became the who’s who of the Canadian music establishment where his boys filled the first chairs in symphony orchestras. www.warfleetpress.com BELOW: c1933 The band at the Chicago Worlds’ Fair

200 ~ Careville Health Careville is a very smart concept in medical care. In this fresh new clinic model, physicians, naturopaths, nutritionists, and pharmacists all work together under one roof, offering a more integrated, responsive approach to patient health. The approach seeks to bridge the gap between conventional and alternative medicine. It also fosters a long term, meaningful relationship between staff and patients, right here in Wesbrook. There are so many reasons why an integrated medical clinic and pharmacy makes sense for everyone. For one, having a pharmacist and your physician consult closely with one another minimizes minor miscommunications between the pharmacy, patients, and doctors – an all too common occurrence. With pharmacists and doctors under the same roof, any questions can be cleared up right away, sometimes avoiding serious problems. Careville Health at Wesbrook opened its doors in March of 2013 in the beautiful Wesbrook Village, nestled in between Pacific Spirit Park and the University of British Columbia. We are very excited to be serving the community with excellent patient care!

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 he was instrumental in raising money for the Greek community and through his connections, for many other charities in Vancouver and across Canada. Church and family were always foremost in his life!
