fishing trips. His grandson, Dan-
ny, has acquired additional prop-
erty and is busy upgrading and ex-
panding his moorage and rental
facilities.

A variety of other shops and
services work to service the needs
of the local population and those
travelling on the B.C. Ferries.

West Vancouver’s newest shopp-
ing area has its roots in the dreams
of pioneer Francis William
Caulfeild, who laid out the pictur-
esque community of Lower
Caulfeild. Since then, more recent
development in Upper Caulfeild
created the need for localized ser-
vices.

Opened last fall, the Caulfeild
Village Shopping Centre features
the unique Someplace Special
Safeway store. Other businesses
cater to residents’ banking, travel,
cleaning, eyewear, hair design,
photo, video and real estate needs.

Caulfeild also sports a specialty
liquor store, florist’s shop, general
store, pasta shop and art gallery.

Revitalization work is being

completed in Dundarave that is
expected to keep loyal patrons of
this small shopping district
satisfied. While the streets and
sidewalks have undergone exten-
sive refurbishing, individual mer-
chants are keeping pace with their
own improvement plans. The suc-
cess of Capers’unique blending of
health food and restaurant ser-
vices, for one, has spawned an ex-
pansion into adjacent shop space.

Curio and craft shops add to the
pleasure of 2 stroll down 2400-
block Marine Drive, which also
boasts a florist, bookshop,
drugstore and a number of grocery
stores, clothing shops and other
services.

Originally a logging camp,
Dundarave’s connection with the
past is maintained by its longtime
focal point, a heritage building
built in 1913, which has seen ser-
vice as a school, the Conservative
Hall, the Dundarave Hall, and
from 1956 to 1985 as Sager’s
Maple Shop.

Situated in the heart of West
Vancouver, Ambleside is right in
the midst of one of the largest

Historie buildings found

Capilano Mail is one of the
highlights of the busy commercial
district, which is stretched out
along Marine Drive. Recently ren-
ovated, this shopping centre boasts
ample parking, two major
department stores, a liquor store,
food fair and numerous clothing
and specialty shops. The foyer
features totem poles and a foun-
tain,

Further east, Lonsdale Avenue
continues its tradition as the his-
torical heart of the North Van-
couver business sector. Travelling
down this sloping avenue, with
the sparkling water and a view of
Vancouver ahead of you, it’s hard
to believe that it was once a
treacherous mud road at the turn
of the century.

The further down Lonsdale you
go, the older the buildings get, un-
til you turn at the bottom of the
nil! and enter the area encompass-

ing the SeaBus terminal and Lons-
dale Quay Market.

At the junction of the Upper
Levels Highway and Westview
Drive you’ll find Westview Shopp-
ing Centre, which is undergoing an
$8 million improvement program.
Expanded to 109,000 sq. ft., the
centre will feature 30 shops, in-
cluding a renovated Safeway store,
and a new office building.

Lynn Valley, a community with
a distinct personality and heritage,
has its own shopping area located
at the crossing of Lynn Valley
Road and Mountain Highway.
Renovated in 1984, Lynn Valley
Centre houses more than 60 retail
shops, a food fair, restaurants and
a three-level parkade. In May, the
mall hosts Lynn Valley Days, a
tribute to the area’s pioneers.

Once considered remote and
separate outposts of the North
Shore, the Seymour and Deep
Cove areas have grown into pro-

revitalization projects ever altemp-
ted. When completed, the renova-
tion work will take in Marine
Drive from 13th to 18th Streets, as
well as parts of Bellevue Avenue
and Clyde Avenue.

Entranceways to the Ambleside
business area will be denoted at
18th Street and at 13th Street,
which is graced on the southwest
corner by another West Vancouver
heritage piece. This rare early
commercial building at 1402
Marine Dr. was built in 1926 and
continues to house a number of
businesses that serve the surroun-
ding neighborhood. |.

Park Royal Shopping Centre, at
West Vancouver’s eastern gateway,
opened in 1950 with a major
department store and 20 shops.
Since then it has grown to accom-
modate more than 190 shops and
services, plus a bowling alley and
multi-screen movie theatre. Visible
to motorists crossing the Lions
Gate Bridge, the illuminated peaks
atop the north and south malls pay
homage to the district’s most
valuable features, the mountains in
the background.

spering communities. Deep Cove
has upgraded its many tourist at-
tractions, and is served by a variety
of shops and dining establishments
along Gallant Avenue and Deep
Cove Road. The. Dollar Shopping
Centre on the Dollarton Highway
is named after one of the area's
most famous pioneers, Capt.
Dollar, who founded'a prosperous |

Looking to the future, Intrawest
Properties Ltd., developers of
Lonsdale Quay, have a $25 million
Seymour Crossings shopping cen-
tre in the works for the banks of
the Seymour River on native land
south of Mt. Seymour Parkway.

Another $25 million shopping
plaza is under construction on the
former Park and Tilford distillery
site at Cotton Road and
Brooksbank Avenue. A_ multi-
screen cinema will add to the ser-
vices provided by a supermarket
and numerous retail stores.
