THE DOLPHINS ARE HERE !!
The painting of the dolphins at the Marina was inspired by the 'return' of over 200 dolphins in the Spring of 2010. And they have stayed ! Escorting the odd Zodiac, playing in the bow wake of the Sunshine Coast Ferry, and generally being fun to watch and be around.
Some Village residents have had the thrill of Kayaking out to the dolphins and spending time with them...
Keep a sharp eye out, they are easiest to see when the water is calm and seem mostly come by in the mid to late morning.
The removal of large sources of pollutants into Howe Sound is paying off !!! Woodfibre is closed and the treatment and neutralization of the largest single point source of a toxic substance in North America at Britannia is being enjoyed by the ecosystem in Howe Sound. Dolphins are smart, they know a good thing when they swim in it !!!

Carver and Lions Bay resident, Darrel Loppe offered to take the lead, create a legacy, and steward the carving of a beautiful cedar sign for the Village. A collaboration was established with Michael Tickner to create the design and beginning in April, 2009 a team of enthusiastic would-be carvers met each Wednesday to transform raw cedar to a beautiful piece of art...……..
The Berm at the entry to central Lions Bay was completed October 3 and officially opened on October 18, 2009. Grant funding and volunteer help was used to beautify this area of Lions Bay.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay came to Lions Bay. Our community exemplifies the Olympic Spirit where individuals come together from all over the world with shared values and vision.
Olympic rings and 2010 logo in flowers were conceived, donated, created and maintained by a group of dedicated Lions Bay Volunteers for the Summer of 2009. This visual installation added to the excitement the community experienced in the lead up to the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics.
