The District of North Vancouver has failed 2 generations of youth in Lynn Valley.

For the past 24 years, Lynn Valley has been trying to get a Youth Centre for teenagers to have a safe place to gather, connect and have some fun. For those that were 13 years old in 2000, they would now be 37 years old and could have teenagers of their own.

Lynn Valley is one of the designated Town Centres in the District of North Vancouver, with one of the fastest growing populations in the District, yet there is a singular lack of investment for youth.

LVCA sent a letter to Mayor Little and Council outlining the funds that have been set aside, a timeline of action taken (or not) with call for Mayor and Coucil to ‘support and prioritize’ this long overdue project.

We were extremely happy to have this project put back on the agenda for council. With the increase of density and development, Lynn Valley is attracting more and more families. We want to make sure we have a vibrant, thriving community with engagement from ALL our residents.

The issue was picked up by the North Shore News giving Mayor Little opportunity to address our concerns. He said “It has a challenged past of finding consensus,”
