IKiring the 1920*s, it was used for swimming regattas. These were not just local affairs, but attracted entrants from Vancouver, White Rock and even Kelowna. Diving was included. After almost sixty years, participants still treasure memories of the meets. Like everything else, the pier has changed with time and use. Its present attractive appearance can be attributed to I4rs. Meek. She so enjoyed the walk to the pier and the pier itself that she donated the $26,000 necessary to instal the soft ornamental lighting, the nautical style chain fence and the anchor at the end. 2. Marr Creek From the pier, there is no present-day evidence of a stream except at low tide when the four foot culvert can be seen jutting out of the east side of the pier. On the route of the walk, the creek appears twice but for the most part, it has disappeared underground, channeled through great concrete pipes to the sea. Its egress at the pier is a reminder of how conscientiously West Vancouver must deal with the problem of water running down the mountain slopes. The summer trickle can become a winter torrent that must have iinimpeded access to the sea. The creek takes its name from George Marr, who is be- lieved to have been Dundarave^s first white.settler. Sometime around the turn of the century, he had a lumber camp close to the cre^k. Although he left West Vancouver for a time, he returned and eventually died in his cabin up the mountainy 27 and Palmerston. 5. The Clachan (The Breakers; St. Mawes; Peppi’s) This handsome building, just off the pier to the right, is one of the historic buildings of West Vancouver. The Stevenson family, who built it in 1912, named it "The Clachan", Gaelic for the "meeting place.” It was at first a one storey building with a broad verandah on the south and west. The Stevensons operated the Clachan as a restaurant and as a guest hotel. That they leased the operation to others is indicated by an item in "The West Vancouver News” of February 1928 which advertised a dance by the new operator. Hiss Christison. The article mentions the use of a newly laid dance floor. In the 1940's, the property was acquired by the Munici- pality as one of several waterfront park acquisitions. The Municipality continued to lease out the building as a restaurant. The first leasee must have been Mr. and*^Mi*s. Wheatley, who ran a successful restaurant under the name of ”The Breakers."
