Hello North Shore News Readers!

This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary and to mark the occasion we are putting together some special content. One of our planned projects is a timeline highlighting the biggest, wildest and most important North Shore happenings in every decade since we started publishing.

We've got our own list started, but we'd love to hear from you too! If you've got a good idea for a timeline entry, write it up and post it in the comments section below, on Facebook, or email us. The entries should be brief and should include the event's date. Here are a few examples to get you started:

February 1972: Figure skater Karen Magnussen wins silver at XI Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan.

January 1977: Delbrook high school burns down.

November 1984: North Van’s Bryan Adams releases Reckless, featuring “Run to You,” “Heaven” and “Summer of ‘69.” Album reaches No. 1 on Billboard 200.

February 2005: North Shore News offices destroyed by early-morning arson. News team works through night to get paper out next day.

June, 2011: The Shipyards Friday Night Market debuts on North Van waterfront.
