North Shore Way

June 24, 2021

The inspiration for this COVID-friendly project is the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain also known as The Way of Saint James. 


The North Shore Way uses existing trails and is organized on a two-tier system based on trail difficulty and access. Each level has its own passport which were designed by Lily. The brochure that explains the program includes hiking safety tips, hiking etiquette, transit information and a map of the North Shore and was created by Tavie. The NSW website has details and points of interest for each trail. Anders and Angelo did an amazing job of organizing all the social media.


There are two levels of trails. Fern Frond trails are family-friendly and are all abilities accessible. This level is designed for families with children up to the primary grades or people who are beginning to hike. Maple Leaf trails are more difficult. They have uneven trail surfaces, steep portions, and stairs. Families with older school-aged children or people with an active lifestyle will enjoy these trails. 


The passports are available at the Seymour Art Gallery in Deep Cover, CityScape Community Art Space on Lonsdale Avenue, and the West Vancouver Art Museum on 17th Street. Passports can be purchased for $5 for adults and $2 for seniors and youth. More details can be found at https://www.northshoreway.ca/ Details of the stamp station locations can be found on the North Shore Way Facebook and Instagram sites. The program runs until Labour Day. We hope to make it a yearly event.
