It weighs more than five tonnes. It’s harder than steel and it took three months of work to fashion.
Dignitaries from all levels of government, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, veterans, cadets and the RCMP joined members of the Royal Canadian Legion Lynn Valley branch in Cates Park/Whey-ah-
Wichen Monday for the unveiling and dedication of Remembrance in Jade — the North Shore’s newest war memorial. By no coincidence, it was 100 years from the day that Canada entered hostilities in the First World War as Great Britain declared war on Germany following an attack on Belgium.
“Any memorial is to promote and support remembrance and also is recognition of the price that people paid for freedoms and democracy that we happen to live in,” said Bill Calder, Lynn Valley Legion president. “It did not come cheap. People gave up their lives literally and figuratively to protect what we have and it is very
important to the legion to make sure that image of remembrance is carried forward and remains in the forefront of people’s minds.” Quietly behind the scenes in the memorial’s development has been Deep Cove resident Mick Webb, who first came up with the idea four years ago — though he shuns any
attention for it. “My point of view was that this is all about the fallen and paying respect,” Webb said. Webb is a regular attendee at the Cates Park Remembrance Day ceremony, which is organized and presided over by the Lynn Valley See Memorial page 3

One more drink, and then you’re cut off. That was the message West Vancouver council delivered recently to Montizambert Wynd — the unincorporated community that’s been tapping into the district’s water supply since the 1960s. Council voted unanimously on July 21 to grant the 16 properties a second and final extension before letting the relationship run dry as of Feb. 18, 2015. Before West Vancouver’s water gets from Montizambert Creek to a treatment plant, a handful of residents just outside the district have been tapping in and taking the raw water. Legal liability in the event of illness was a major concern for Coun. Bill Soprovich. See Water page 5
