ONE HUNDRED and two years ago, a century after Cap-

tain Vancouver’s

exploration of

Burrard Inlet, the

municipality of North Vancouver District was established.

Today, the district continues to
provide its 76,000 residents the
unique lifestyle and setting that
first attracted the early settlers,

with skiing and other outdoor rec-
reation opportunites just minutes

At 17,060 hectares, North Van-
couver District is the largest of the
three North Shore municipalities.

As a predominantly residential
area within commuting distance of
downtown Vancouver and other
suburban areas, the district rates
as one of the most highly desired
residential areas in the Lower
Mainland.

The 1991 Census reported the
population of the district at
75,000, with 1992 estimates of
-76,400. This represents an average
annual growth rate of less than
two percent since the last census
in 1986.

Industrial development in the
district has tended to be port-
related on or near the waterfront,
with smaller industrial neighbor-
hoods that harbor a variety of
businesses.

Retail and commercial devel--

opment is concentrated in a
number of village centres such as

Deep Cove, Parkgate, Lynn
Valley, Edgemont and
Queensdale, as well as along the
Marine Drive corridor which con-
nects the three North Shore
municipalities.

Within the municipality, more
than 300 km (186 miles) of local
roads are maintained by the
district.

The district joins North Van-
couver City to provide recre-
ational facilities through the
community. Swimming pools,
skating rinks, squash and caquet-
ball courts, gymnasiums and
fitness facilities offer a wide range
of activities and programs.

There are even more outdoor
recreational opportunities, from
free tennis courts and parkland
trails to pitch-and-putt golf, or
sports fields used by the com-
munity’s many organized sports
associations.

Other ‘attractions in the district
include popular community events
like festivals. District parks and
streets come alive in the summer-
time. Some of the more well-
known annual events include Lynn
Valley Days, Xing Neptune Car-
nival, Edgemont Village Days,
Coho. Festival and the Christmas
Carol Ship Festival.

In addition to hiking and skiing
facilities. at Grouse Mountain and
Mount Seymour, North Van-
couver boasts of such tourist at-
tractions as Cleveland Dam,
Capilano Suspension Bridge and
the Lynn Canyon Suspension
Bridge and Ecology Centre.

the district, is a long-time favorite
of Jocai residents.
