These can include great bike facilities in your multi-unit rental or condo building. For those in single-family homes, a lockable garage or shed works well. I've seen people park a 12-foot covered utility trailer in an unused parking spot and store four to six – or more – bikes in there. Some folks mount their bike on a wall, and some e-bikes can stand up vertically inside a home so they stay safe and out of the way. (See this photo of a very nice Tern GSD standing up. Bowinn Ma, a local politician, rides one) The main thing is that your bike parking features limited access, and theft is very unlikely, whether overnight, or when not used for days on end. The reality is that bikes are at some risk of being stolen, and the fancier/pricier your e-bike, the greater that risk will feel. https://www.betternorthshore.ca/blog/where-have-all-the-good-conservatives-gone monthly 0.5 2025-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/daee9f3a-ac63-4c00-b31a-539bddf96d2c/Lighthouse+Park.jpg All Articles - Where have all the good conservatives gone? - Make it stand out Lighthouse park, West Vancouver https://www.betternorthshore.ca/blog/federal-candidate-questions-and-answers monthly 0.5 2025-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/c952294e-2e83-457d-9a66-9131f279b306/Who%E2%80%99s+Going+to+Ottawa.png All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/c3982430-bac4-4f98-a8f0-d591cbc9729a/Tammy+Bentz.png All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Tammy Bentz New Democratic Party https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/15847b50-def1-4f4d-a719-589f8f600cc0/Andrew-Robinson-scaled.jpg All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Andrew Robinson Green https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/6af3b3d8-f9e4-4339-867a-11d83d2130f3/Jonathan+Wilkinson.jpg All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Jonathan Wilkinson Liberal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/c1e89877-b115-49b1-ae0a-8fb3104bab03/Terry+Beech.png All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Terry Beech Liberal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/2f28536e-8532-4479-b626-ccd54c0841af/Michael+charrois-face-circle.png All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Michael Charrois New Democratic Party https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/d251c88d-00fd-461b-812f-f650dd56cb57/Jesse+Fulton.png All Articles - Federal election candidate questions and answers - Jesse Fulton People’s Party of Canada https://www.betternorthshore.ca/blog/iv28fjbxk3uvjubm7lgzl5qgeg4nje monthly 0.5 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/ac23200d-1ea7-4c17-9fde-3ed7358e8459/Meadow+in+front+lawn.png All Articles - Teeming with life: ecosystems of the North Shore - Make it stand out A rewilded front lawn in the District of North Vancouver.

The City of North Vancouver’s bylaws do not protect magnificent old oak trees like this one, which will be destroyed for a new development. If the developers voluntarily decide the tree is an asset, it can be saved. We saved the cedar at 20th and Eastern so it can happen. Sign the petition to save this tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65bc2675490c38720d109469/b3fe4d80-6061-4aa2-909b-9f514e6cfa7d/Eastside+Connector+Project+Route+Map.jpg Newsletters - January 2026 on the Shore - Make it stand out The City is holding an in-person information session for the community, where the project team will be available to answer questions and share further information about the Eastside Connector.
