In 1951, a single-person chairlift was built to bring skiers from Hat Inn, near the top of the Chelsea subdivision, up to the newly built Hi-View Lodge. From there, young families could make the long hike to First Lake, where they could purchase tickets for the rope tow that took them to the top of the ‘Popfly’ ski run. Competition from more accessible ski areas such as Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour led to Hollyburn’s decline in the mid - 1950s. The chairlift went broke about the time that Hi-View Lodge burned down in 1965. For almost 20 years, Hollyburn saw tew visitors, with the exception of a dedicated group of cabin owners and their friends. Then, in 1968, a logging scandal at Cypress Bowl renewed public interest in the area. TO BE CONTINUED BOOK NOTES The Society recently received a gift from Katie Dickinson of a new book titled ‘‘A History of Ten Decades of the Scouting Movement in West Vancouver”. The book honors her late husband “Mr. Scout" W.J. “Bill” Dickinson. Started by Mr. Dickinson and completed under the direction of Mrs. Dickinson and Bob Gale, the book is a thoroughly researched and charmingly presented history of Scouting in West Vancouver. Fittingly, the book is presented on the lOO+h anniversary of the founding of the Scout movement by Lord Baden Powell. It is available at the West Van Museum Gift Shop and also at the Scout Shop at 675 West Broadway, Vancouver. A “must read” tor the thousands of past West Vancouver scouts and anyone interest in the scouting movement. Ed Peck spoke at the General Meeting of November 22, 2006, about his late father “Cy Peck - A Legendary Canadian” Cy Peck, V.C. and D.S.O. was a celebrated Canadian hero and the subject of a fascinating book written by Ed.
