Newest Clan Member

I am pleased to introduce the newst member of the family; Mr Smyth. He is a very small person, some have likened him to a small child, but this is not the case. Wise beyond his years, he is a man of few words, but enjoys the simple pleasures of life - warm milk, clean underclothes and large cotton pillows. Living a life of privelege that most of us could only dream of, Smyth employs a variety of helpers that care for him 24 hrs a day - cooking him special meals, entertaining him, dressing him and managing his global investments.

Looking Back Through Time

North Van originally began life as a humble turn of the century company town situated on the water where the present Seabus terminus is located. It became known as Moodyville, after the owner of the first North Shore saw mill, Sewell Moody. Logging and ship-building soon became the primary industries of the new boom town and the village was soon connected to Vancouver by a bridge and ferry service. These pictures are taken from South Lonsdale about 85 years apart. Note the mix of small business and residential buildings, lively streetlife and public transit.
