Hi Neighbour!
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.

Ten years ago this October, running, jumping, bouncing, dancing, singing, loving, smiling, riding three-year-old Finn Sullivan died. Ignited by loss and a touch of happenstance, and fueled by love, Lynn Valley’s most powerful charity was born: Team Finn.

With the summer-ready fruit we love bursting with flavour, there is no doubt it will be attracting wildlife as well. In this season of harvest in Lynn Valley’s forests and yards becoming more bear aware will help you and our furry neighbours.

July’s residential housing sales in Metro Vancouver reached their lowest levels for that month since the year 2000.
CLICK HERE to watch a short video from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver on this transitional market.
“With fewer buyers active in today’s market, we’re seeing less upward pressure on home prices across the region,” Phil Moore, REBGV president said. “This is most pronounced in the detached home market, but demand in the townhome and apartment markets is also relenting from the more frenetic pace experienced over the last few years.”
“Summer is traditionally a quieter time of year in real estate. This is particularly true this year,” Moore said. “With increased mortgage rates and stricter lending requirements, buyers and sellers are opting to take a wait-and-see approach for the time being.” For those looking to make a move there are some great opportunities in the current increasing inventory.
It will be interesting to see what the Fall housing market brings.
