A new look for a new year!
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. We are delighted to welcome Robin to our team of people who love to promote all that is good about our neighbourhood!

A big thanks to the LV Community Association, organizers Stephanie Donohoe and Gillian Konst, and all those who sponsored a Christmas tree in LV Village this year. It is much appreciated by the community. The Harvest Project was grateful too, tree sponsors chipped in and the result was a $2,750 cheque that was presented at the grand light-up ceremony.
