A look back on this hot and steamy month reveals a July filled with excitement and special events. Whether it was breaking out the barbecue with friends, the celebration of 100 years of Canada’s naval forces, or the star-studded premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s big top production of Kooza, North Shore faces were in all the right places.

02 – West Vancouver’s famous news gals Fanny Kiefer, left, and CTV-9’s Pamela Martin could be found in the private Tapis Rouge VIP tent at the opening night of Cirque’s Kooza.

04 – Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of our Canadian Navy at a special reception aboard the HMCS Vancouver are West Vancouver’s Robert Barr, left, and Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, The Honourable Steven L. Point.
05 – They don’t call him “Rockin” Ronnie for nothing. North Van’s Ron Shewchuck, barbecue champ extraordinaire, can be found cooking up a storm every Sunday afternoon this summer down at the new Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel.
06 – West Vancouver sisters Alexis, left, and Deanna Palkowski cuddle up to FMA TV producer Andy Chu at the recent opening night reception of Burberry’s new beauty line at Holt Renfrew.

It was pure girl power this month for a couple of big reasons. First, the beautiful ladies at Expert Recruiters hosted a private showing of “Confessions of a Shopaholic” at the Scotiabank Theatre to launch their new designer handbag rental venture called “It’s Your Secret”. Next, the Women in Film and Television Vancouver (WIFTV) toasted their own during their gala film festival which honoured achievement among their peers.
