Notice of 2019/20 & 2020/2021 Annual General Meetings

LVCA

Please join us for TWO Annual General Meetings on Thursday November 4th at 7pm via Zoom.

Our 2019/20 AGM was postponed due to COVID and the recommendations of the Vancouver Health Authority.  We had hoped to meet in person however that was put on hold with subsequent ‘waves’ and our concern for the safety of our members and community.

While are disappointed not to be able to meet in person., the LVCA Board agreed that the online option is currently the safest for all our members.

The 2019/20 AGM will take place on Thursday November 4th at 7pm, via Zoom. 

Following the adjournment of this AGM, we will hold the 2020/21 AGM.

Please email lynnvalleyca@gmail.com if you wish to attend and a link will be sent to you shortly before the meeting.

Have you noticed Lynn Valley’s new Street Banners?

LVCA

You may have spotted some beautiful new street banners in and around our Town Centre.

LVCA spearheaded the project to replace the old faded and torn banners that had seen better days.  Three local artists Vicki English, Dana Irving and Duane Murrin were invited to submit their designs for consideration in the creation of the new banners.  

Choosing a design was tough, but after much consideration and deliberation, the LVCA Board chose long time Lynn Valley resident Duane Murrin’s submission. His bold and colourful designs stand out on even the greyest of days and remind us how lucky we are to be living in Lynn Valley: a stunning “Gateway to Nature”.

We are grateful to the District of North Vancouver who provided funding for the new banners through a Community Building Grant.

A Message to our Neighbours…

LVCA
As you are no doubt aware, COVID-19 is a topic currently impacting us all in one way or another. Protecting our community is a shared responsibility at a time like this. While the threat to British Columbians remains low, the very idea of an outbreak can feel stressful.

Consulting a reliable source of information can be re-assuring, and we recommend you stay up-to-date with the latest news from Vancouver Coastal Health.

VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation has suggested some things you can do to support the well-being of yourself and others during this time:

  • Take care of your body! Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Continue to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep.

  • Avoid excessive exposure to social media or sensational coverage. While being informed is important, it can be detrimental to your mental health to constantly take in stressful information.

  • Consider ways to find balance with activities you normally enjoy.

  • Stay connected with loved ones and continue to maintain healthy relationships.

  • If you have neighbors who are elderly or immune compromised, ask if they need anything and get it for them instead of having them go out and risk their health.


    • Fear and anxiety about a disease may feel overwhelming at times. By trusting the facts, sticking with the latest protocols, looking out for one another, and practicing good mental health habits, we can protect ourselves and our communities.   Take care of yourself and others.

    LVCA Park Project – cancelled

    LVCA

    On April 25th, the Lynn Valley Community Association and Lynn Valley Seniors Association were planning to work together on the 2020 Lynn Valley Park Project.

    With the recommendation of physical distancing and for the safety of all involved, we have had to cancel the yearly event.

    But keep it in mind! We’re planning to be back next spring and we’d like you to join us! Below is a description of what happens at our Park Projects….

    “The work will be basic gardening, removing invasive plants, planting natural vegetation, laying down mulch, cleaning litter and anything else that needs to be done with the support of the DNV Parks Department.
    We have work for every level of physical ability so all ages and stages are welcome. Dress for the weather, as this is a rain-or-shine event! Sturdy boots or shoes, working clothes and gloves are recommended, as it could be muddy! if we are blessed with sunshine, remember the hats and sunscreen. Look for our LVCA tent to check in. *You will need to bring your own water bottle.”
