You Are Here: 2023 Calendar

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. Proceeds from the sale of this calendar support the North Shore Culture Compass, a free, online map and cultural hub that makes it easy to explore the diverse cultural landscape of arts, heritage, and stories of the region. The Culture Compass celebrates life on the North Shore.
