 A WALK THROUGH DUHDARAVE 10 November 1932 Ihindarave is that area of West Vancouver bounded by 22 Street on the east, 28 Street on the west, Burrard Inlet on the south and the Upper Levels on the north. On Sunday 22 August 1982, the V/est Vancouver Historical Society sponsored a two hour walk through a small part of Dundarave. What follows is a revision of the commentary on the walk. One reason why the Society sponsored the walk was to give those interested a taste of local history in an informative and yet entertaining way. A second reason was to encourage the supplying of information to the Society for its Archives. All the information provided has been taken from present records. It may be in part in- accurate, and it certainly is not complete. It is hoped that anyone who has additional information, or anyone who can cor-?b roborate any detail, will contact the Society. If anyone has pictures, not just of Dundarave but of West Van- couver, in the early days. The Society would appreciate re- ceiving them. If you are unwilling to surrender your pictures now, the Society would ask permission to make a duplicate - a copy is better than no picture at all. 1. Dundarave Pier You have been started off at the end of Dundarave Pier for a purpose. From here you can get a sense of what Dundarave, and indeed West Vancouver, is all about. As you look north, you see the mountains that provided the scenery, the limits, and the complications, of life in West Vancouver. As you look south, you see the other major factor - the ocean. To the east, in the far distance, is the Lions Gate Bridge, spanning the First Narrows and making the jobs and pleas- ures of Vancouver immediately accessible. To the west, the lighthouse at Atkinson Point.*marks the importance of ocean traffic. Between the light and the bridge your eye can follow the curve of the coast of West Vancouver. Between the beach and the 1200 foot level, you can see the municipality that has developed, where once the tall forest came to the very edge of the sand. The pier itself is of interest. It was built by the Mun- icipality of West Vancouver in 1914, at a cost of $40,000 for use as a ferry slip. It proved to be too exposed for such use and became a tourist attraction and an on-shore fishing area.
