Truth and Reconciliation Day
Truth and Reconciliation Day is September 30, a day to honour the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. There will be plenty of chances to honour the resilience, dignity and strength of our Indigenous communities throughout the North Shore on this day, including at Museum of North Vancouver (MONOVA) where hands-on activities, games and thoughtful exhibitions will inspire reflection and meaningful dialogue for guests of all ages.
Canyon Frights
Be-head on up to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park for some Halloween fun from October 11-31! Canyon Frights sees the park all lit up in spook-tacular fashion where an unexpected twist leads you on an eerie walk through the rainforest. Play like a Local in your best family-friendly costumes at thrilling games. Prizes and surprises, galore!
