In the Community

Canada Day celebration started early — at 1,400 metres

In the late 1940s, Deep Cove played host to a lot of regattas and speed boat races. Wilfred Fawcett was a teen at the time and often made the trek from his home in Vancouver to watch the action on the water.

Stroll down the last block of Gallant Avenue before the water’s edge and you’ll come across a pale yellow building with a red steepled window at the front. This is the Deep Cove Cultural Centre.

Welcome to Deep Cove, a true nature lover’s paradise, a community where hiking, boating, and water sports reign supreme among residents lucky enough to call this laidback, artsy community home sweet home.

Warm weather set the stage for the annual Canada Day parade in North Vancouver on Wednesday. See photos and video below.

Andrea Padovani, Nicola Stilwell and Audra Ricketts are among 21 local artists who will be displaying their work at 13 locations during the Horseshoe Bay Art Walk on Sunday, July 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
