NV Chamber members solve the mystery and celebrate the holidays!
NV Chamber members put their detective skills to the test as they played the Lower Lonsdale Culture Quest, enjoying the holiday spirit along the way! Our thanks to North Van Arts Executive Director Anna Lynch for guiding us through the quest! The adventure wrapped up at North Van Arts’ CityScape gallery, where members mingled and took in the Anonymous Art Show. We’re pleased to sponsor the Lower Lonsdale Quest and invite you to check out the app and explore our neighbourhood: https://www.northshoreculturecompass.ca/pages/culture-quest.
