inconvenient for anything bigger then a cottage. Creating road access was impossible for Mr. Caulfeild to do by himself and he spent much time promoting highway development with various levels of government, In time, the Pacific Great Eastern Railway went through the upper part of the property, which alleviated the problem, but it was not until the incorporation of the Municipality that the real solution could be tackled. This was the provision of road access by the extension of Marine Drive, the road being formally opened by Provincial Premier Richard McBride in 1915. In due course, the village changed in character if not in philosophy. By the 1940s, there were over 50 residences, most of them large and spacious. Development according to Mr. Caulfeild’s ideas had definitely appealed to the carriage trade. One result of this and of Mr. Caulfeild’s failure to predict the omnipotence of the motor car is that the narrow roadways have had to be made one-way, and even so, traffic is congested and parking difficult. However, in large part, Mr. Caulfeild’s dream has been realized, and its centerpiece is the little church of St. Francis-in-the-Wood, which does indeed stand in the big trees above the cove. It was built over the 1930’s; the channel and sanctuary were completed in 1938. The church is the English traditional cottage style, as Mr. Caulfeild would have wanted. The spreading roof and heavy supporting beams give a sense of shelter. Stained-glass windows, donated in honour of the Caulfeild and Stone families, give the interior a subdued glow. In front of the church is, of course, the village green, and leading from the green to the church is an object so rare that only an historian like Mr. Caulfeild would recognize it. It is a lych-gate, a roofed open structure with benches in it. In medieval times, it was intended, during funerals, for pallbearers to rest on their way to the churchyard. Although Mr. Caulfeild gave so much of his life to this project, he retired in England in his old age and died in London in 1934 at the age of 90. His son, Wade Caulfeild, had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy, retiring as Vice-Admiral. History doesn’t relate how much of his maritime skill and enthusiasm he learned from his childhood days around the cove, but in his retirement, he and his son, Toby, raised a memorial to Mr. Caulfeild. The memorials takes the form of a large, black anchor accompanied by an explanatory plaque, and is situated among the rocks and trees of the waterfront park that was Mr. Caulfeild’s pride and joy. A Brief History of Hollyburn Ski Lodge - Part 1 Donald Grant Archivist/Historian - Hollyburn Heritage Society; Hollyburn Ridge Association From countless viewpoints on the Lower Mainland, on clear days the nine peaks of the North Shore mountains -Black, Strachan, Hollyburn, the Lions, Crown, Grouse, Fromme, Lynn and Seymour - make an imposing impression on local residents and visitors alike. These mountains mark the southern end of the Coast Range which extent north along the western edge of British Columbia and through Alaska, where the tallest peaks and largest glaciers in North America may be found. In the early 1920s, many Vancouverites were becoming aware of the potential of Hollyburn as a recreational area. Since the late nineteenth century, loggers and shake and shingle block cutters, in their efforts to reach valuable stands of fir and cedar on the lower slopes of the mountain and move cut logs and shingle bolts down to the sea, had provided quick and easy access to Hollyburn for hikers and skiers. From the beaches and summer cottages of West Vancouver a network of flumes, buildings and skid-roads was built, extending beyond the 2500 foot level. On the Hollyburn plateau, trails were created when streams, extending beyond the 2500 foot level. On the Hollyburn plateau, trails were created when streams, lakes and marshes were dammed to provide water for logging flumes. By the end of the First World War, some hikers had already built log cabins on Hollyburn. Norwegians were the first skiers on the mountain, demonstrating their skills on May 17, 1922, as a way of celebrating their national holiday.
