It is an extremely family-oriented community, which is a bonus when you’re a kid growing up in an environment like that.WHAT IS YOUR HAPPIEST MEMORY OF LYNN VALLEY?My happiest memory fits right in to that child-friendly atmosphere. I remember rollerblading, swimming, fort building, and climbing trees with my best friends during long summer days. The neighbourhood was extremely family oriented so we had low-traffic roads enabling to do all of these fun activities in the safety of our backyards.WHAT DO YOU SEE FOR THE FUTURE OF LYNN VALLEY?I am a big fan of the beautiful homes that are indicative of Lynn Valley, so I would hate to see them all replaced by brand-new residences. As long as a mixture remains and outdoor activities stay close to home, the unique character of Lynn Valley will continue to shine through.Do you know someone who has, or is, making a lasting impact in our neighbourhood? Visit the Lynn Valley Legacy website to nominate a fellow resident of our community, or suggest a name for the new development being built at Lynn Valley Centre. Deadline for both is January 31, so throw your hat in the ring by then if you'd like to be eligible for prizes!
