Please share any concerns that you might have regarding the future use of these properties. | # Response 1. Lucas Center: This large flat piece of land should be maintained as the proposed denser population along the Marine Drive corridor will be needed for schools in the future. The same issues of OCP to increase the density along Lonsdale and the Marine corridor should be considered as reasons not to sell Cloverley and Maplewood schools Monteray School: This small school will not be of use as a school in the future, but the lands could be used to house senior's daycare, daycare, or other none profit community resources 2. I don't necessarily have concerns regarding the future use of these properties other then to say that they certainly should not be standing empty and costing the school district money. If they cannot be rented out within a reasonable time, the properties should be sold and monies should be used for schools that remain open so that PACs are not having to do so much fundraising. 3. Future need 4. Lucas/Marshall: they've performed their purpose well and continue to be useful - they really DON'T need their services performed in a prime place like Central Lonsdale Fromme: during the last 5 years NV District has spent about 60% of their traffic calming budget in this area - and now for the benefit of a private institution??? Does SD44 and DNV actually talk to one another? One would think not given the Fromme experience. (This is the school on your list closest to me geographically) Maplewood: friends living close to there plus I think the Lions Gate Christian Academy affair was badly bungled by the previous board Blueridge: though living in Blueridge I went to Seymour Heights since Blueridge wasn't built yet. The walks were long particularly in winter weather. Hopefully things are better for the kids now but to me Blueridge looks to be in far better shape than Seymour Heights and should be the one retained 5. Monteray: I would like to see a plan for my area (Balmoral community) that supports the students that are here today / tomorrow and reflects our community needs (Balmoral and Monteray closed recently, North Star and Delbrook also closed). This work should be completed before a decision is made on Monteray. I would like to know the ownership history of this property and the other properties in our community. Lucas: I believe the Hamilton area deserves the same level of focus from NVSD as these two areas seem to be where NVSD is less competitive. Keith Lynn: listed this as well as I feel there's a connection between any land proceeds here and a future location for the CLP program (which if our Balmoral community re-emerges as a secondary school may be required). 6. As the school is small and not in good condition, it most likely can't be rented out, so I am concerned with what may be developed on the site. 7. I live on west 21st, across from the existing Lucas Centre. If this facility is to shut down, my main concern is that the zoning may be changed to support high density housing or affordable housing. 8. Lucas Centre: Retain for future use - for now, grass sports field is valuable and the remainder of the property is flat and would be vauable for sport use. All properties: Although the land may not be deemed necessary at this time, the community will be here forever. Making irrevocable decisions based on 10 - 30 years of history is potentially disastrous. The core of the City and the District will undergo great change in the next 50 years. Let's hold on to the land in these areas for the future. 9. There is a desparate need for more AT fields in the district. Too many sports can't play due to the rain. This is the only property left that could support 4 - 5 AT fields and a club house to creat a much needed soccer venue in North Van. 10. Lucas Centre represents the most valuable property of the group because of its size and location. As the population in the south-west portion of the city increases, there will eventually be a need for a middle or junior secondary to reduce the load on Carson Graham. I realize that the NVSD has been following a path that is contrary to the concept of both community schools and a middle or junior secondary school format, but the alternative of a monolithic central high school is not an acceptable alternative to most residents on the North Shore. 11. Lucas Centre. My concern is 2 fold. One, as a resident in the area traffic congestion getting in and out of the area is a concern. Two, the loss of 2 gravel fields and 1 grass field from the playing field inventory in North Vancouver would have a significant impact. 12. For all the properties above, I believe that redeveloping them into affordable housing for families and seniors in important for future growth of the city. Suchh development should be sustainable for traffic and utility/ energy uses. 13. The density in the City of North Vancouver is growing. We have a lot of new families here and they can not afford to go to private schools.

For approximately thirty years this was a centre of modernist design, and produced many of the greateSt contemporary Canadian houses. This was fe rtile ground fo r experimentation in the International and West Coast Styles, and the District's domestic architecture was recognized fo r its innovation, the use of natural materials, and sensitive integration with spectacular sites. These structures, many ofwhich have now been acclaimed as masterpieces of design, have become an integral part of the.image ofWest Vancouver. This current study builds upon the initial identification of93 significant contemporary buildings in the 1988 'West Vancouver Heritage Inventory'. This provided a recognition of the importance of these buildings, but did not provide detailed research or documentation fo r those buildings built after194 5. In 1993-1994 this survey ofthe District's modern buildings was undertaken, using the same evaluation criteria and categories as the previous Inventory. Those buildings from the thirty year time frame fo llowing the end of the Second World War were more fullyexamined, including a windshield survey of the entire District, and research of journals, award winning buildings, and architect's lists.

    1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 LIBRARY NAME AND LOGO The official name of the library is: DISTRICT OF NORTH VANCOUVER MUNICIPAL PUBLIC LIBRARY It is normally called: NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY OR NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT LIBRARY In order to avoid confusion with the City of North Vancouver Public Library we refer to our library branches as follows: Lynn Valley Main Library Capilano Branch Parkgate Branch LOGO The logo was designed by Matt Warburton, Emdoubleyu Design, in 2006 as part of the identity refresh congruent with the new Lynn Valley Main Library project. 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Date of Issue: January 2013 Page: 1 North Vancouver District Public Library Policy Manual 1.2 THE LIBRARY The Library serves the District of North Vancouver, which stretches from the Capilano River on the west, to Deep Cove in the east, south to Burrard Inlet and up the mountain slopes of Grouse and Seymour. It covers approximately 1,276 hectares and has a population of approximately 88,000 (2008). In the centre of the North Vancouver area lies the City of North Vancouver, which is a separate municipality having its own library system. While we do cooperate and are both members of Public Libraries InterLink, there is no political connection between the two libraries. The District is served by three libraries: Capilano Branch, 3045 Highland Boulevard, which serves the western part; Lynn Valley, 1277 Lynn Valley Road, which is the main library and also houses the Administration offices, and the Parkgate Branch, 3675 Banff Court which serves the eastern portion of the District. The library is a member of Public Libraries InterLink, a cooperative of eighteen Lower Mainland public libraries which provide equal access to all residents of the member municipalities as well as special services such as inter-library loan and audio books for readers who are visually impaired.

  • Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’S Package
    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

  • To View Frequently Asked Questions and Answers About the Return to School This September
    West Vancouver Schools RETURN TO SCHOOL FAQS September 2, 2020 Learning Options and Cohorts What options are available beyond in-person learning? Home Schooling - This is an alternative method of teaching outside of the BC education system. Typically, a family member delivers and is responsible for designing the entire educational program for their child at home. Homeschooling programs are not supervised by a B.C.-certified teacher. Distributed Learning (DL) - This has always been an alternate to in-person learning that allows students to access learning on their own terms with limited in-person sessions. Teachers often teach via video conferences, email and through other means. In K-9 this is for a full program; in grades 10-12 it is for individual courses. West Vancouver does not have its own DL Program, but there are various options available to students all across the province. Temporary Transition - For K-9 students who are not ready to return to in-person learning this September, we are working to develop a temporary transition program that will allow students to be attached to their school while receiving some of their education at home as we support a transition back to full time in-person learning through the fall. This program will start the week of September 21st. How do we access different options for the fall? We are asking families to have a discussion with their school principals / vice-principals. Each set of circumstances is different and this way we can help personalize the best option for your child. While the conversations are localized, the options are consistent across all schools.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 ISSUE 49 CONTENTS 3 MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 4 EXHIBITIONS 8 ART IN THE COMMUNITY 14 THE GIFT BOX 15 ART RENTAL 16 ARTS EDUCATION 18 EVENTS & INITIATIVES 24 MEMBERSHIP 25 VOLUNTEERS 26 BOARD 27 STAFF 28 FINANCIALS 29 SUPPORTERS 2 CONTENTS A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The 2017-18 season, our 49th year in operation, was a year of supporting existing programmes, celebrating national milestones, launching a major community project, refreshing our organizational structure, and building new relationships. This past year our exhibitions, events, and arts education programmes continued to thrive, with new managers bringing fresh perspectives and skills to help us continually improve core programmes. To celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, we presented a special project called ART+PLACE. This project brought a contemporary dance company from Quebec to collaborate with our local community and respond to the ‘place’ in which we live. We were thrilled to receive a major grant from the Department of Canadian Heritage, Strategic Initiatives Fund, which along with financial and in-kind support from the three North Shore municipalities, Metro Vancouver, and Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, allowed us to launch the North Shore Cultural Mapping Project. We hired a project management team to lead this project through to its launch in 2020. The Board of Directors and I spent the last year updating our constitution and by-laws in preparation for our transition to the new BC Society’s Act this fall. The staff and I also spent the year updating marketing tools, that will include a launch of our new brand at the 2018 AGM.
