Dear Editor:
Having been born in the old North Vancouver Hospital, and living here all my life, I think it has come time to change the name of North Vancouver. Let’s get serious about this. First of all, it is time to amalgamate the City and District of North Vancouver. Should have been done 50 years ago. And it is also time to change the name of North Vancouver.
It sounds like we are part of Vancouver, which we are not. The name North Vancouver is outdated.
We need to have a different name for the amalgamated city and district. There are many hundreds, and even thousands of people who live here, who would like to have a different name for where we live. We don’t even want to sound like we are part of Vancouver. I would suggest your readers send in suggestions as to what we could call the newly amalgamated city and district of “Old North Vancouver.”
