Summer, we see you slipping away. 🌅

Sunset boat rides, forest hikes, bike rides that ran long past dinner, sandy shoes left by the door — this is the stuff North Shore kids remember. Whatever your summer looked like this year, we hope it was full of moments like these.

Lunches need packing again, alarms are getting set, bedtimes are creeping earlier — routine's coming back whether we're ready or not. But before all that, take a minute. This was a good one.

What's one memory from this summer you don't want to forget? Tell us below. 💬

New(ish) neighbourhood, seriously fun playground. 🧗💦

Belle Isle Park went up as part of the Lions Gate community area, and it’s quickly become one of our favourites — climbing towers, splash play, and a genuinely thoughtful touch: a communication board built right in for kids who use picture symbols to interact.

Have you checked it out yet?

A sad day on the North Shore. 🖤

Grinder, the rescue grizzly bear who called Grouse Mountain home for 25 years, passed away this week. Rescued as a cub and raised alongside his lifelong companion Coola, Grinder became one of the most recognized and loved animals on the mountain — a familiar face for generations of North Shore families who visited over the decades.

Our thoughts are with the wildlife team who cared for him, and with Coola as he adjusts to the loss of his companion.

Rest well, Grinder. We will all miss you. 🐾💕

The North Shore has way more kid-friendly bike routes than most people realize. 🚲🌲

One of our favourites: a relaxed ride around Vic Park down to the splash park at Mahon Park — short enough for a wobbly rider to finish strong, and it ends somewhere the kids actually want to be.

That’s 1 of 5 routes we mapped with James Oborne, who organizes family bike rides on the North Shore all year.

Distances, elevation, and how to join a ride — all at the link in bio.

grousemountain turns 100 this year — and they’re marking it with a drone show unlike anything else on the North Shore. ✨🚁

“A Century of Stories” brings hundreds of illuminated drones, cinematic music, and Squamish Nation storytelling to the mountaintop, tracing 100 years of history against the night sky.

Remaining dates: Friday July 31, Saturday Aug 1, Sunday Aug 2. Show runs 9:30–10:15pm, up at the Birds in Motion area.

Bring warm layers, a blanket, and snacks — it gets cold up there after dark. And be aware of the hungry mosquitos! 🦟

The North Shore is one of the best places in the world to hike with kids. The problem isn’t finding trails — it’s knowing which ones actually work for little legs. 🌿

We’ve rounded up our favourites — creek play, easy paths, no scary drop-offs, most have a playground nearby.

Mark your calendars — The Shipyards Splash Park is officially back for the rest of the summer, starting Monday, July 20. 💦

Bonus fact: it runs on recirculated water, just like a swimming pool, so it’s able to stay open under Metro Vancouver’s current water restrictions.

Bear season is here on the North Shore — and yes, that includes the kid-friendly trails. 🐻

We teamed up with @northshoreblackbearsociety to answer the questions families actually have: what to do if you see one, what to teach your kids, whether bear bells actually work (spoiler: they don’t), and what signs to look for on the trail.

A few things that might surprise you:

🐾 A bear standing up is curious, not aggressive
🐾 More than half of negative wildlife encounters involve off-leash dogs
🐾 Your voice is your best tool — not a bell
