Celebrating the People, Places & Stories that Shape our Community
Every neighbourhood has its unsung heroes, heartfelt moments, and history worth remembering—and here on the Edge we’re full of them.
Featured & Notable is our place to shine a light on the people, places, and projects that give this community its soul.
From local artists and business owners to charitable changemakers and unforgettable community members, this is where we gather the stories that matter. Whether it’s a youth-led fundraiser, a decades-old family shop, or a trail named for a legend, every feature helps stitch together the living legacy of the North Shore Edge.
Everyday People. Extraordinary Impact
This section is dedicated to the neighbours, volunteers, quiet leaders, and spirited changemakers whose presence uplifts the North Shore Edge.

Not Just a Storefront—These Are the Stories Behind the Signs
Behind every small business on the North Shore Edge, there’s a story worth telling. Some were born from family legacies, others from bold leaps of faith—but all share a common thread: heart. These are the neighbourhood cafés that remember your order, the studios that host more than just classes, the shops that give back, employ locals, and show up when it matters most.
Business with Heart is where we share the soul behind the signage—highlighting local entrepreneurs whose impact extends beyond the walls of their work.
Nominate them for a future feature! Tell us what makes them stand out, and help us spotlight the businesses that help make this community feel like home.

A Peek Into the Creative Pulse of the Edge
Art lives here—in brushstrokes, lyrics, stitches, and stories. From small studios and street corners to community stages and coastal trails, the east side of the Seymour is alive with creative expression. In this section, we spotlight the painters, poets, performers, and makers whose work adds beauty, meaning, and momentum to our shared landscape.
Whether they’re lifelong locals or newly inspired voices, these artists help shape how we see this place—and how we connect within it.

Charitable Acts, Fundraisers & Giving in Action
Every act of generosity—big or small—creates a ripple. Here on the North Shore Edge, we’re proud to spotlight the people and projects putting compassion into motion. Whether it’s a youth-led winter clothing drive, a neighbour organizing meal deliveries, or a local event raising funds for those in need, Doing Good is where we gather the stories that remind us what community is all about.
These features are a testament to kindness, collaboration, and the power of showing up for one another.
Nominate a person, group, or initiative doing good in the community. Tell us what they’re up to, why it matters, and how others can support or get involved.

Honouring Those Who’ve Shaped Our Story
Some names don’t fade—they echo. In this section, we honour the lives and legacies of those who’ve left a lasting mark on the North Shore Edge. These are the grandparents who helped build the neighbourhood, the teachers who believed in generations of students, the quiet heroes, the visionaries, the volunteers, and the loved ones whose presence is still felt in the roots and rhythms of this place.
Legacy & Memory is a space for remembrance, reflection, and gratitude—for stitching personal stories into the larger tapestry of our community.
We invite you to share the story of a loved one who shaped life on the Edge. Whether through a short tribute, a photo, a memory, or a place that holds meaning, we welcome submissions that help keep their legacy alive.

Stories Etched in the Trails, Trees & Buildings of the Edge
From hand-carved ravens to forest-side trailheads, the North Shore Edge is filled with places that speak—if you know how to listen. We acknowledge with deep respect that these places exist on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, and the Coast Salish Peoples including the Squamish and Musqueam. Their relationship with the land continues to guide and ground this region.
Landmarks & Local Lore is where we explore the stories behind the places—some well-known, others hidden in plain sight. It might be the tale behind a sculpture at the edge of the inlet, a community hall with decades of dances and debates, or a trail whose name still sparks curiosity.
We invite you to share local insights, memories, or historical tidbits about a landmark on the North Shore Edge! From trails to totems, street names to murals—let’s bring the stories of these places into the light.
