The Lynn Valley Community Association annual general meeting is coming up on Thursday, May 18, at 7 p.m. Please consider getting involved as a member – or even a board member! – to help keep Lynn Valley a community that is vibrant, welcoming and supportive of citizens of all ages and stages. Here is the press release from the LVCA:
It must be something in the water – this little corner of the world has spawned pretty amazing musicians from of all genres. On Friday, May 5, you’re invited to celebrate Lynn Valley’s rock legend with a performance by The Authentics.
Thanks to the Lynn Valley Community Association for passing along this information about a Power Line trail party happening on May 13. Do you appreciate the ready access to nature that we enjoy in this neighbourhood? Then please consider lending a hand to making our public parkland even better!
The Lynn Valley Community Association and the Lynn Valley Seniors Association are working together on the 2017 Lynn Valley Annual Park Project.
If you’ve been putting off your spring cleaning because you’re buried in six boxes of old tax returns and financial stubs dating from 1979, now’s your chance to get out from under.
The “Shredding for a Cure” event, in memory of Lynn Valley’s Ashley Brear, returns again this year to the St. Clement’s parking lot at 3400 Institute Road (east side of LV Park) on Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Your documents will be securely disposed of by 1-800-SHREDDING, and your financial donation will further cancer research through the BC Cancer Agency or the Callanish Society. Please come out and support this event! For more information, call 604-980-3177.
If you’ve always loved the character of Lynn Valley, you’ll love watching Lynn Valley as a character.
More properly, Lynn Valley is the setting of a play opening up at Hendry Hall – but given the theme of 2000, it’s almost a character itself.
Playwright Joan MacLeod, who now teachers writing at the University of Victoria, was intrigued by life lived on the border between natural and human habitat. Producer and director Stephen Torrence says “The play examines how the natural and urban worlds are interwoven and how they each impact on the other; a topic [so] germane to Lynn Valley, which exists in the midst of the rainforest.” He says that Joan MacLeod is delighted the play is finally being performed in North Vancouver.
As you’ll see in this good North Shore News overview, those who enjoy good laughs along with thought-provoking theatre entertainment will not be disappointed. Nor will those who love a bit of local history – there are still Lynn Valley residents among us who remember the real-life “Nature Boy,” an interesting man of the woods who is immortalized in the play as one of the characters.
“We have a truly innovative and creative set that strives to illustrate the overlap between the natural and urban worlds, created by local artists and set designers,” says Stephen.
Tickets are only $10 on the preview night on Thursday, April 6; opening night is Friday, April 7 which features an opening night reception and goodies to boot. The show runs Wednesdays through Saturdays after that, closing on on April 22. To learn more about the production and get your tickets, just go here. Why not call up a Lynn Valley friend and make a night of it?
2000 is North Van Community Player’s festival entry in the the Theatre BC North Shore Zone Festival of Plays, which runs at Presentation House from May 7 to 13. 2000 will be performed on May 11. All shows in this year’s festival are by Canadian playwrights, in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday. The show which is chosen as Best Production will go on to to Vernon in July to compete in the provincial festival.
