Announcements

This was shared in the September issue of the Blueridge Bulletin as well, but it’s too lovely not to share here:

The September issue of the Blueridge Bulletin arrived in email boxes on the morning of September 1st. It’s chock full of neighbourhood news, as usual.

If you see this and either aren’t a subscriber or you missed it somehow, look in the Quick Links menu to the left (or above, on a phone) for a link to it. But if you aren’t a subscriber, why not? It’s just 12 emails a year, and they are full of good stuff. We don’t sell your information. There’s a “Subscribe” link there as well, and if you do that, you’ll get the October issue in your inbox automatically. Thank you!

The DNV has a number of advisory committees. These help shape the future of the district by providing advice and insights to the DNV Council as they make decisions on a range of topics.

Two committees that are actively looking for new volunteers now:

  • The Child Care Grants Committee is seeking a Member-at-large
  • The Community Heritage Advisory Committee needs an Archivist or historian knowledgeable of local history

If either of those sounds like you, you can learn more and fill out an application form on the DNV website.

Applications should be submitted by September 15th.

Given our various neighbours, this annual reminder from the DNV matters.

If you haven’t reviewed these guidelines before, they’re helpful. In particular, they address how to make your garbage less attractive.

Fruit trees need harvesting.

Yes, it’s still early, but planning ahead can help.

Fruit attracts bears and causes them to become comfortable around humans and accustomed to our food. We need our bears to stay wild, so our fruit trees need to be harvested.

But that’s a lot of work, and it can be a lot of fruit. If you need help, contact:

North Shore Fruit Tree Project

They can harvest your trees and put the fruit to good use, helping those in need. They work June through September.

Don’t let your fruit trees attract bears. Instead, let them help the people who need it.

Upcoming Events

In the fall, the Government of Canada will deliver its 2026 budget, and your input is requested. You can share your ideas and priorities on how to shape our collective future. Submissions are open until September 8, 2026 at:

Mark your calendars! The North Shore Art Crawl is back on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Now in its 16th year, the North Shore Art Crawl has grown into one of our community’s most exciting celebrations of local creativity. Presented by North Van Arts, this free, self-guided weekend arts festival invites visitors to explore studios, galleries, community spaces and local businesses across North and West Vancouver. More than 100 artists at approximately 70 locations will be taking part this year, showcasing everything from painting and photography to pottery, sculpture, textiles, jewellery, glass and more.

And you don’t have to travel far to discover some wonderful local talent!Four Blueridge Artists at Canlan!

We are delighted that four artists from our very own Blueridge community — In-Ah Mellor, Shannon Taylor, Leticia Broadhead and Sunny Cho — will be exhibiting together at Canlan Sports – North Shore, 2411 Mt Seymour Parkway.

For one weekend, this familiar neighbourhood venue will become an art destination, giving our community the chance to see original work created right here by people who live among us.

The Art Crawl is about much more than simply looking at artwork. It’s an opportunity to meet the artists, talk to them about their work, hear the stories behind what they create, and perhaps even discover a piece you would love to take home. North Van Arts created the Crawl to make local art accessible and to build connections between artists and the communities in which they live and work.

Supporting local artists matters. Every visit, conversation, shared social media post, and artwork purchased helps encourage artists to keep creating and contributes to the vibrant cultural life of our neighbourhood.

And, quite simply, it’s fun!

Bring the kids, invite some friends and make a day of it. Start here in our own neighbourhood at Canlan, meet our four Blueridge artists, and then continue your crawl to discover some of the many other creative spaces across the North Shore.

October 17: Municipal Election

This is election day. More information on where and how to vote coming soon!

Our local elected leaders sometimes hold meetings with constituents. These can be a great opportunity to ask specific questions or raise issues without going to a council meeting. They bring staff along to help them take notes and track issues that need additional effort or research as well.

If you have a question for these folks, these may be a good resource.
