Arts & Culture

The City has long considered arts and culture a priority in considering the lifestyle and well-being of the community. By providing opportunities to participate in creative or cultural activities, the City promotes a positive environment for the community to interact, contributing significantly to our sense of community and quality of life.

NVRC’s Community Events Calendar includes a comprehensive listing of events and activities happening on Vancouver's North Shore. Local artists, arts, culture and heritage organizations are invited to upload their event information and promotional images to the calendar.

 

The City is committed to creating art in public places to "celebrate and stimulate the cultural spirit and identity of the community".

NVRC provides recreation and cultural programs and services to the residents of the City and District of North Vancouver.
