? Echoes Across Seymour by Janet Pavlik, Desmond Smith & Eileen Smith (Harbour Publishing, 256 pages) $39.95
OCEAN, forests and mountains all combine to create one of the most breathtaking regions in the Lower Mainland.
Turn right as you come to the North Shore via the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing and you are heading into the eastern communities of North Vancouver. With their distinct makeup and natural geographic boundaries this area extends from the bridge all the way up Indian Arm.
These 19 communities share a connection to Mount Seymour and the ocean that forms its outer perimeter. Each area developed in its own way and reflects that growth today. From the seclusion of Riverside Drive to the waterfront vistas of Beachview Drive there is something for everyone.
Echoes Across Seymour is the wonderful result of a labour of love by authors Janet Pavlik, Desmond Smith and Eileen Smith. All have been deeply involved in the Deep Cove community for years. Their combined enthusiasm and efforts have produced this look at a unique part of the North Shore.
Each area is featured and its history shared through current and archival photographs, profiles on noteworthy citizens, key issues and developments and a chronology of the community.
