WV Civic Dinner

catherine barr

THERE'S a lot of hard working people behind the scenes when it comes to running a community. Local politicians aside, there's a score of volunteers who dedicate their time and skills to building and maintaining the policies of government. Their input is invaluable when it comes to making decisions and it's something the staff and directors of West Vancouver truly appreciate. In honour of those who spend their time in little meeting rooms, the District of West Vancouver held their annual 2002 Civic Dinner at Gleneagles Golf Club on last Friday, Sep. 13. All the major community movers and shakers were there, just check it out.
