You Are Here celebrates the North Shore Region, including the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver, and the District of West Vancouver. This land is part of the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation), and all of the images in this calendar are inspired by this place.
These unique calendars contain 12 scenes of Vancouver’s North Shore by local artists. We are very grateful to the talented artists who have donated the use of their art for this calendar: Christine Cowan, Marilynn Tebbit, Akemi Emma Ito, Dilys Huang, Myranda Storm, Rachel Lytzki, Tammy Flynn Seybold, Mahin Sharilli, Roger Jang, Michael Brouillet, Tim Bennison, Herman Zheng.
Scroll through this StoryMap to see the places that inspired each piece, and for information about the artists who have interpreted each scene through their own unique style, resulting in works of art that allow you to imagine that 'You Are Here'.
Proceeds from the sale of this calendar support the North Shore Culture Compass, a free, online map that helps the public explore the diverse cultural landscape of arts, heritage, and stories of the region. Explore over 1,300 cultural listings, including museums, trails & natural landmarks, live performances & public art, festivals & art galleries, and so much more. Visit the First Nations Category to find out about places and animals important to the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) people and their names in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim (Squamish language) and Downriver Hunq’eme’nem / hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (Tsleil-Waututh traditional language). Current events and new listings are added to the map all the time, with programmes and activities to help guide your experience.
The Culture Compass is a project by North Van Arts that celebrates life on the North Shore.
