Thanks for the Supplies

Materials Needed for a Community Gazebo

You may have heard about the educational Native Garden that gardener and artist Mary Miles is creating on Lions Bay Avenue. It is located in the curve of the road on the left as you travel down to the Lions Bay Beach park. Mary's deep knowledge of our local vegetation and her desire to pass this knowledge along is a wonderful gift to the village.

A small gazebo is planned for the bottom of the garden which will provide a spot to sit and look at the view as you walk up the hill, a bulletin board for plant information and it will mark the entrance to the garden. Council has approved the design of the structure and we are now seeking donated materials. Here is a list of what is needed. If you can help out please contact Rob Simons at 604 921-6564 or email
