Society's eight year long project to document the flora and fauna of Lighthouse Park was a chance to combine two of her passions and she jumped at the chance. A total of 73 of her sketches were eventually published in Nature West Coast: As Seen at Lighthouse Parle in 1973- Two of Dorothy's delightful sketches -- Saskatoon Berry and Wild Tiger Lily -- would not be amiss on a gallery wall. So why have they come to the Archives? Though a small part of our collection, the Archives does acquire documentary art, or art which is realistic in a style and which accurately depicts people, places, activities and events in West Vancouver. A select group of records, they compliment other holdings relating to both Lighthouse Park and Point Atkinson Lighthouse Reto Tschan - West Vancouver Archivist How You Can Help Save the Society Thousands of Dollars Annually At present 62 of our 250 members receive their full colour newsletter by email. Providing members with their newsletter electronically four times a year costs the Society absolutely nothing. As a bonus, the email version is in full colour and includes "extras", four additional pages of West Vancouver history. The print version is eight pages, mainly black and white illustrations and costs about $10 to print and post each copy. If you have an email account, I encourage you to check the email box for the newsletter when you renew your membership. You will find this form included in your mailed copy or printed in your email copy. I also encourage you to send in your renewal form soon to enable those processing the forms to have an easier time. Why wait for spring -- do it now! pages Saskatoon Berry by Dorothy Pollitt A move to Vancouver Island saw Dorothy start up a cross country skiing group at Mt. Washington, as well as canoeing and hiking in Nanaimo. She led many canoe trips to the northern Gulf Islands and the Broken Islands, or would set out on her own adventures. Never holding a driver's licence, Dorothy would simply call a local taxi to take both her and her canoe from Nanaimo to Bamfield -- with instructions to return in a week to pick her up! After returning to live on the North Shore Dorothy Pollitt died at the age of 84 in 1996. ,
