Flooding in 100s and 600s
June 2nd, 2011 by
Yesterday evening storm sewers in the 600s and 100s could not handle the sustained heavy rainfall and backed up, causing flooding in several units. Sumps are connected to the storm sewer system and apparently the backup occurred through that route. Restoration companies are on site dealing with clean up. Please check your own basements for moisture, and check back here for any updates.

Block Watch Alert
December 10th, 2010 by
From the local RCMP block watch coordinator:
I am sending this email to inform you that there was a Break & Enter in the 4100 Block of Glenhaven Crescent last night [Dec 8]. (The Block Watch Captain position is currently vacant.) Fortunately alert neighbours saw the suspect and called 911. The police responded quickly and the suspects were caught, arrested and will be charged. This is a great success story of prompt reporting and how the public assists the police in catching criminals!
[This is a reminder to ensure your] doors and windows are always locked, and especially during this holiday season. It’s a good time to also remind people to remove ALL valuables from their vehicles (even spare change) and keep your vehicle locked as well. Try to keep your entrance ways well lit at night and perhaps have a motion light on your driveway, carport or back yard.

Bear Information
August 4th, 2010 by
From the North Shore Block Watch:
It seems we have many bear sightings in our neighbourhoods this summer. Everyone can do their part to reduce attractants and prevent bears from leaving their natural habitat where they live healthier and safer lives.
The North Shore black bears are around and looking for food. They are attracted into our neighbourhoods by:
- garbage (including diapers)
- bird seed and hummingbird food
- composts
- dirty barbecues
- fruit trees (and fallen fruit)
- pet food (that is left outside)
- unwashed recyclables
- refrigerators and freezers that are stored outside
- litter
Bears have an outstanding sense of smell and they can locate these attractants from far away. They also have great memories so they can remember the location of food sources for a long time. Please help to keep bears out of your neighbourhood by removing bear attractants. One house with available attractants can keep bears coming back to an entire neighbourhood year after year.
If you have a bear in your neighbourhood, the North Vancouver RCMP suggest calling the Bear Conservation Officers at 1-800-663-9453.
The North Shore Black Bear Society has many tips to help you and your neighbours with the management of bear attractants. Please contact us at 604-990-BEAR if you have any questions.
