West Vancouver Stories: 2024

By Lindy Pfeil

West Vancouver Stories: 2024 contains the stories of 18 ordinary people living in extraordinary times. They met in the West Vancouver Memorial Library, where they shared their stories of resilience, compassion, and hope. A true collaboration between community members and organisations, this book documents what it means to be alive today.

"With the pandemic now in the rear-view mirror, this is the time to strengthen our bonds of friendship, community, and reconnect with each other. What we have learned is that nothing can defeat the human spirit. We can move forward with a renewed sense of hope, optimism, and kindness." Mark Sager, Mayor of West Vancouver
