St. Stephen's Celebrates continued along Fulton Avenue to the east of the church became an important factor in the decision Even then, the unicipality was giving thought to the "civic square" concept which eventually came to fruition. St. Stephen's property n 22nd and along Fulton would be a key element of such a scheme. Negotiations with the municipality resulted in a nd swap, with St. Stephen's trading its property for a new site on the west side of 22nd across from the end of the 100 block of Gordon Avenue. These arrangements were completed in 1967 and on June 12 of that year the first sod s turned for the St. Stephen's Church we know today. St. Stephen's is the longest continuously operating church in West Vancouver It has been the 'mother church' of two other Parishes - St. Christopher's and St. Francis-in-the Wood, and 'grand mother' of St. Monica's in Horseshoe Bay, which was split off from St. Francis in 1955. Over 100 years, and served by eleven rectors, St. Stephen's has played an important part in the life of West Vancouver. As a source of spiritual guidance and leadership for its parishioners; as a 'community centre' for various groups and activities; and for its missionary work, St. Stephen's enters its second hundred years with a proud history of service to the community.

Follow up to last Month's Article on Geordie Tocker Letter from Heinz Berger, L.M.B.C.S.A.,F.C.S.L.A., former Parks Manager In one of our small parks, the name has escaped me, a very large tree next to a private property became very dangerous and had to be cut down. Geordie found out about it and asked me if he could have the tree to build a dugout canoe to prove his theory. I asked him how long it would take. He answered "A few weeks". I gave him permission and told him to obey the noise bylaw. I informed the neighbours accordingly. Geordie's chain saw was going for weeks and weeks. The daily phone calls to my office and my home never stopped. The neighbours were very upset about the noise. Finally I had to give Geordie notice to finish his canoe somewhere else. With the help of a large crane he removed the canoe. PS. after some years I got the Council's permission to install a bronze plaque in memory of Geordie's achievements at the end of Dundarave Pier.
