There are still a few weeks left for some fun summer activities and adventures before it’s back to school time. July was a warm one and August started off slightly cooler and although we’re in the midst of another heat wave, some rain and reprieve should be coming this weekend. Stage 1 water restrictions are still in effect and can change quickly in August when there’s a lack of rain. Check the North Vancouver District site regularly for updates.

With summer fruit ripening in many Lynn Valley yards, be sure to keep bear awareness on your mind. Find out more in our article below. And it is sadly (or maybe happily) time to start thinking about back to school and Fall planning, we’ve got the scoop on some upcoming registration dates.

PS. Don’t forget to keep your eye on our Eye ❤️ Lynn Valley contest on Facebook for some great prizes.

School’s out for summer! The weather is starting to heat up and life is hopefully slowing down for everyone. Discover some great things to do in Lynn Valley below to fill the long sunny days and evenings.
Less rain and more sunshine also means that forest fire season is coming up again. Read more in our article about how the District of North Vancouver is preparing for it.

The countdown to Lynn Valley Days is on: a few tickets for the Friday night Gala are still available but be quick! Please note Lynn Valley Road will be closed Sat. June 16th from 9:15-11:15 am during the parade, and detours will be in place. Join us on the field afterwards for lots of rides, games and family fun!

Spring has finally – gloriously – sprung! We are so grateful for sun and some rain relief. We see lots of neighbours working in gardens, out on the trails and enjoying Lynn Valley in its prime. This warm weather also has us thinking a bit about the future.

Let’s hope the old adage is correct: that these April showers will bring May flowers. We would like to send a big thank you to all who came out to our favourite Spring tradition: our Easter Egg Hunt. It was our biggest ever and we hope to see you join us next year.

Hi Neighbour!

Winter sure has made it’s mark through February, I think we are all ready for the snow to fall on the mountains only and more warm sunny days to come our way.

Searching for crocuses and snowdrops can be egg-cellent practice for our upcoming annual Easter Egg Hunt! And if you haven’t yet – don’t forget to sign up for our promo with the Black Bear Pub!

Hi Neighbour!

We hope that everyone heading back to school or work this week (or last!) is feeling refreshed from a happy Christmas that included some good “down” time with family and friends. Our very best wishes to you and yours for 2018!

Speaking of refreshed, we have been working away on an updated look for our LynnValleyLife website and newsletter. All the same great community info is there, but we hope that this new format puts everything right at your fingertips. Please have a look – and check out the work of our new community newshound, Robin Thorneycroft.
