neighbourhoods[edit]

Because of a redlink on Kitsault, British Columbia I discovered that there is no Park Royal, West Vancouver neighbourhood article though there is a Park Royal Shopping Centre article. Looking around, I realized there is also no Caulfield, West Vancouver article. If I were to stop think about it, wondering about Eagleridge and various other neighbourhoods. I don't know what's "official" with the muni or not yet. Park Royal is a name that existed before the shopping centre (the Park Royal Hotel is older, for example) and also applies to the apartment towers next to the shopping centre, and also to the surrounding neighbourhood. I haven't looked yet to see if there's any mention of much of the shopping centre's site and the business tower on lower Taylor Way being on leased Squamish Nation land....Skookum1 (talk) 20:53, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just because some official calls West Vancouver a Cultural Capital does not make it so. It is also an official Nuclear Weapons Free Zone and I wouldn't be surprised if it became the Leprosy Free Capital of Canada.

It is horribly and deliberately misleading to call West Vancouver a Cultural Capital of Canada. Even local people are laughing at the idiocy of this statement. Gmilne (talk) 02:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)There is no cinema here, 1 bar, no nightclubs, 2 art galleries of around 600 sq ft each. Every retail store, even the 7/11 must close by 11pm (this is a municipal bylaw) and even all 4 sets of traffic lights go to flashing amber at midnight[reply]
