Creating community spirit is self-interest
I would like to congratulate a remarkable group of individuals, associations and local merchants in Lynn Valley who worked alongside the Lynn Valley Community Association to create "Lynn Valley Christmas." This month-long festival was enjoyed by the community and also benefitted those in need locally through donations to the Lynn Valley Lions hamper fund.

Award honours outstanding neighbours
WHETHER they replaced your tire when you got a flat, kept your pet alive when you were on vacation, or consistently offered the right of way when your two cars met on a narrow lane, you now have a chance to thank them.
No conspiracy at L. Valley Community Assoc
I am responding to two unfounded accusations against the Lynn Valley Community Association made in letters which the North Shore News published Oct. 19 ("LVCA is dominated by real estate companies and large-scale developers") and Nov. 18 ("LVCA is continuing on the path of excluding everyone in what is happening in Lynn Valley"). Both are completely without merit.
LVCA meeting excludes community
An announcement has gone out to the members of the Lynn Valley Community Association to take part in an information meeting where BOSA explains their plans regarding the Lynn Valley Centre development. The meeting is scheduled on Nov. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Molly Nye House. The meeting is only for members that have joined before Nov. 1.
Lynn Valley highrise proposals surprise some
Lynn Valley residents are very upset over the proposals to build highrises in the town centre. Currently a flyer campaign is under way to inform Lynn Valley residents about a possible future, where Lynn Valley might look more like Manhattan than a small little town in the boonies. Even though the district's community planner and the Sustainable Community Development Department assure they have done everything possible to inform the public about the decision to build highrises in Lynn Valley, the residents are surprised and angry.
Lynn Valley highrises don't meet OCP aims
I write regarding the Sept. 28 North Shore News editorial, A Day Late, and the story Highrises Proposed for Lynn Valley. Contrary to the positions of the editorial writer, Brian Bydwell of the District of North Vancouver and Dan Ellis of the Lynn Valley Community Association, there is massive, unwavering community opposition to highrises at Lynn Valley Shopping Centre. That opposition is well documented and dates back to at least 2006. District council has simply turned a blind eye to the opposition as it did to the recent opposition to highrise development at the base of Mount Seymour.
