The area’s obvious attributes include the mountains, the boom- ing waterfront and the wide variety of wooded parks and recrea- tion areas. But there’s more to the North Shore than meets the eye. The three local municipalities —- North Vancouver City and the districts of North and West Vancouver — are home to a large percen- tage of the Lower Mainland’s high-tech firms and a host of businesses connected with the growing B.C. film industry. And the North Shore’s deep water port has over 50 per cent of major Vancouver por: harbor facilities. Loca! businesses, from smal! merchants to multi-million dollar firms, are also a vital component of the North Shore’s collective corn- munity persona. Our Town is a special supplement of the North Shore News design- ed to document and celebrate the industrial and commercial heart of the North Shore both for the area’s residents and its many visitors. é | : ee meena een vernon BE NEWS photo Terry Peters 100% CANADIAN OWNEL 375 LOW LEVEL, NORTH VANCOUVER, BL.
