It takes a village

It’s helping hands and weekend plans
It’s quick stops to mom and pop shops
It’s in your backyard and delivered to your doorstep
It’s staycations and crosswalk conversations
It’s supporting local and keeping it here
And it’s doing all these things….
Because it takes a village to make village

In 1978, @lesliejaneinc opened its doors in Ambles

In 1978, @lesliejaneinc opened its doors in Ambleside. The founder, Leslie, created a beautiful space for engaged, passionate women who desired, like herself, something out of the ordinary, not fast clothing found in big-box stores. Her boutique was unique, showcasing only fine-quality fabrics, original clothing and accessories, mostly sourced from San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Those same traditions carry on today under the guidance and vision of her son, Paul. Now, with technology to gather merchandise beyond North America, the store continues to evolve while remaining true to its founder’s desire to create something unique and beautiful.

LAST SUPPER | For the past 5 years, Terroir kitchen has been a neighbourhood restaurant providing high quality European food and wine. It is through our great team and loyal guests that we have had such a tremendous run. It saddens us to say, that run has come to its end. Our last dinner services will be tonight and tomorrow with very limited space available. Thanks to all who have supported us in the past and to all the staff who have helped along the way..

Looking to do a bit of volunteer work in your community? Join us this Saturday and help clean up. We will meet at 1455 Bellevue Avenue at 10am. If you’d like to choose another location to tidy up or venture out in your own neighbourhood, post a photo and tag us! Thanks to @westvandistrict for supporting this monthly clean up and to our community members for lending a hand. #adbiawv #ittakesavillagetomakeavillage #ambleside #dundarave #westvancouver

Mark Sager and Ron Nairne have known each other fo

Mark Sager and Ron Nairne have known each other for most of their lives, both being from families with very deep roots in the community. Mark and Ron graduated from Hillside Secondary School a few years apart. In fact, when Ron graduated, it was Mark who presented Ron with his graduation certificate, while serving the community as one of the youngest elected officials in Canada. Both Mark and Ron studied Philosophy at UBC and graduated from UBC Law School in 1989.

After Law School they went on different paths as litigators and, on occasion, they would find themselves on opposite sides of a case. None of that impacted their friendship and respect for each other. Over the years, each time Mark saw Ron, he suggested joining him in West Vancouver where he would say, quite correctly, “the commute to work and lifestyle of working in the community you live in cannot be beat.”

Finally in 2020, as Ron’s law partner of thirteen years retired, the time was right for Ron to take Mark up on his offer. On January 1st, 2021, Ron and Mark started the year formally joining forces as Sager Nairne LLP.

Proud of their roots, they are eager to serve the community and province with the finest of legal services.

Stittgen Fine Jewelry opened their doors in 2003,

Stittgen Fine Jewelry opened their doors in 2003, a block away from where Karl Stittgen had opened his original studio decades prior.

Mr. Stittgen began his career in Vancouver in 1954 and his jewelry of gold, platinum, gemstones, pearls, ancient coins and artifacts earned much critical acclaim during what some have called the golden age of design in Vancouver.

At @stittgen, you will find a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to browse their in-store selection, with informed staff ready to help you find exactly what you are looking for – and if it doesn’t exist, they will create it. Whether using a sketchpad and pencil, or state-of-the-art rendering software, the focus of the design is always you.

Stop in and experience the Stittgen difference.

The Red Lion Bar and Grill is the heart of Dundara

The Red Lion Bar and Grill is the heart of Dundarave. A place where everyone is welcome, you feel the comfort of home, the familiarity of friends, a relaxing atmosphere and a true sense of community.

Many of our West Vancouver residents remember Mario Corsi from his days at the iconic Park Royal Hotel. At the @redlionbarandgrill, you can still have that welcoming hospitality and warm smile greet you.
