Resources for Blueridge Residents

Whether you’re a brand new resident or you’ve lived here your whole life, we hope this list of key information is useful. Click any of the sections below to see the details.

The information in this section is created and updated by members of the Blueridge Community Association (BCA) to help residents take better advantage of the wonderful community we live in.

In an emergency, knowing who to call is key. And sometimes knowing who to call can help avoid problems. These numbers and websites should be readily available to everyone.

Since COVID appeared in 2020, the BCA has run a program called Blueridge Cares to raise funds for various charitable activities, particularly around the holidays. But financial stress and food security are year round issues. The organizations and services listed below provide assistance of various kinds here on the North Shore. Blueridge residents in need of help are encouraged to contact these groups for assistance.

If you know of other organizations that should be included here, please send a URL or other contact information to our webmaster using this form.

Community Advisory Panel

Also known as CAP – (Chemtrade Logistics, ERCO Worldwide, GFL Environmental, and Univar Solutions) – provides a forum for the open and mutual exchange of ideas and concerns between the companies and local communities in Maplewood and surrounding areas. Blueridge has a representative attending CAP meetings and reporting back to the BCA as needed.

  • DNV CAP website
  • CAP history – includes a map showing the area covered by the CAP
  • Minutes from CAP meetings are stored on the DNV website listed above. As of this writing that archive goes all the way back to November 2014.

Canlan Ice Sports Advisory Committee

This group meets twice a year to provide updates from Canlan on their activities and how they may impact their customers or the community. The BCA has a representative who attends those meetings and may report back.

These links were included here after the July 2023 fire on Mount Seymour, just to make them easier to find. They also appear under the other tabs where appropriate.

School Websites

If your local student attends a school not listed above (or if your school accepts students from Blueridge and Seymour Heights in the District of North Vancouver), please send an email to webmaster@blueridgeca.org and let us know so we can add it to the list above.

BCA/School Documents

Our local schools are a major concern, and the BCA regularly works with community members to learn more about and possible changes to them. The documents below relate to our local schools, and are organized by the year in which they were published.

Notes About School Documents

  • Many of these were originally published on the BCA website as News Posts, but have been moved here for safekeeping and easy access.
  • The documents were only created sporadically for many reasons, including the pandemic.
  • This list is updated whenever new documents become available.

Black Bears are a fixture here in Blueridge. Depending on the weather, they can be encountered all year round. As a rule, they aren’t dangerous at all, being much more worried about you than you are about them, but knowing how to handle bear encounters is a good idea.

In addition, we have coyotes, the occasional cougar, and other (less spectacular) neighbours, including rabits, possums, skunks, deer, and all the rodents.

Currently, these pages concentrate on bears as they are the wildlife encounter most people are worried about.
