Dear Fellow Residents,
In response to the terrible events in the Village on March 27, the Lynn Valley Lions Club has worked with our community partners to honour the victims and show our strength and support for each other.
On Saturday, April 3, we will be hosting a drive-thru candlelight vigil at Lynn Canyon Park from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
We have worked with Vancouver Coastal Health to ensure our plan is compliant with current COVID 19 provincial health orders. As such, a secure and controllable site was required to facilitate a public drive-thru where participants remain socially distanced by remaining in their vehicles at all times. The District of North Vancouver is providing logistical support for this event.
Event Details
-
- Lynn Canyon Park lower parking lot will be closed Saturday, April 3, to allow for set-up.
- The park will also be closed at 7pm to all public access to meet COVID protocols.
- Access to the park will be closed to all foot traffic from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
- Vehicle entry will ONLY be via the Ross Road service entrance. This will be the only access into the park with the exception of emergency service vehicles.
- All vehicles will be EXITING the park via Peters Road.
- DNV traffic management and traffic control personnel will be at key intersections to assist the public.
This community response was designed within COVID 19 compliance first and foremost. More importantly, it was designed to allow our community to express solidarity and strength within the beautiful park we all cherish. For the drive-thru event, there will be three areas with acoustic music and a light and art display created by hundreds of children from our Lynn Valley community that participants can view safely from the comfort of their vehicle.
I would ask for your understanding on the short notice and any interruptions this may briefly cause. Please contact me via email with any questions or concerns to [email protected]. I thank you in advance on behalf of the team.
Sincerely,
Eric Miura
President
Lynn Valley Lions Club
