12 - Sunday, March 27, 1994 - North Shore News

IF YOU look around the North Shore, you'll notice that
more and more landmarks — parks, street names and
buildings — are being named after people. There’s
Gertrude Lawson House, Mollie Nye Way, Mickey
Macdougall Gym, Pauline Johnson School, Dorothy Lynas
School, John Lawson Park, Chief Mathias Joe Park, and
Karen Magnussen Arena — just to nume a few. In North
Vancouver City, the newest park was recently named
Norman MacLeod Park in honor of the neighborhood pio-

neer who ran a post office and general store from 1912 {to

1958. One thing that all of these people have in common is
that they all contributed to the North Shore community.
Each F riday in the North Shore News, Dorothy Foster
highlights a local landmark in her North Shore Herijage
column, In iearning about the histories of our local land-
marks, we also fearn about the people who were part of
those histories. It is with honor that we name our land-
marks after them.
