Walk and Coffee -The Green Necklace North Vancouver

Join us for a leisure walk around the Green Necklace route in North Vancouver. The Green Necklace is an urban greenway that forms a 7.5km scenic loop around our City centre, linking historic parks and buildings, public spaces and commercial areas. An off-street multi-use path, the Green Necklace provides a safe transportation and recreational route for all ages and abilities. The Green Necklace was designed to enhance walkability in the City with important connections to other trail systems such as the North Shore Spirit Trail. The Green Necklace also provides a network of habitat linkages for urban wildlife between existing green spaces with street trees and naturalized landscapes. Along the Green Necklace route, bio swales and rain gardens expose natural processes that are typically covered over in the urban environment. The Green Necklace enhances the social sustainability of the City by encouraging community interaction, fitness, safety, as well as easy access to parks, open spaces and streets. The Green Necklace enhances the walk-ability and in turn, the livability of the City of North Vancouver. We will meet at Victoria Park - by the War Memorial ( W Keith Road between Lonsdale and St George). Then walk east towards Grand Blvd and around the loop. We can decided if we want to stop for coffee along the route (when we cross over Lonsdale or at the end of the walk. Please check in the morning for updates. If it is torential rain I will cancel the walk and rebook for another date. If you do sign up, I always remind people to be considerate and change your status if you are unable to attend.
