An Evening with the Bruntletts Public Event hosted by the City and District of North Vancouver
Celebrated authors, advocates, and former Vancouverites Melissa and Chris Bruntlett return to Canada to share their story of relocating their young family to the Dutch city of Delft, and how becoming Dutch citizens reshaped their lives. In their book 
Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives
, they chronicle what it means to trade a car-centric lifestyle for a people-first, cycle-friendly city. Through their first-hand experiences, the Bruntletts reveal how thoughtful urban design impacts far more than mobility. It shapes our emotional wellbeing, social connections, and freedom at every age. From quieter streets that ease stress, to neighbourhoods where children and elders can move independently, their work highlights why the built environment is about more than getting from A to B - it’s about creating happier, healthier communities.
Why Attend?

Best Things to Do

Night view

iQOO🐮

Walking into Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, I was instantly enveloped by towering ancient trees and refreshing air. My palms were slightly sweaty as I wobbled across the high suspension bridge, but the view of the stream below and the snow-capped mountains in the distance was truly soothing! The treetop walkway was particularly fun, like strolling through the forest mid-air. The staff were very welcoming and even helped me take commemorative photos. However, during peak season, the bridge is often overcrowded with tourists, making it slow and congested, like a traffic jam. The maple cookies in the souvenir shop were surprisingly delicious, and I took a few boxes home. It&#39;s perfect for those who enjoy nature, but it might be a bit challenging if you&#39;re afraid of heights.

Grouse Mountain Peak

Hiking

Mountain climbing

小思文

Grouse Mountain is a perfect natural landscape. In the summer, you can enjoy the green scenery all over the mountain. In the winter, it is also a good place for skiing. The Grouse Mountain tour bus can go directly to the sightseeing spot on the top of the mountain. The lake water is also a very clear resource.

Cliffwalk

Natural scenery

DEAR张小球

The plank road is a must-see attraction when visiting the suspension bridge park. In fact, there is no danger. Even people like me who are afraid of heights think it is okay. The scenery here is super good, with mountains, water, lush greenery, and pleasant scenery.

Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge

Shadiespirit

Th&eacute; trails in Lynn Canyon starting at the suspension bridge is breath taking. The bridge is not as long as Capilano but it&rsquo;s free of entrance. The only fee you need to pay is for parking. They do have a small kiosk for drinks and snacks. There are several trails you can take. it&rsquo;s easy to navigate as they have location maps in certain points to f the trail. At some point you will come across a small waterfall. There is also some areas where you can go for a dip. the water is quite cold tho even if it&rsquo;s in the summer. I&rsquo;m used to the south east beach temperature of water. There are many hikers along the trails. Some bring their dogs along. most dogs were on leash but some were not. but if you are bringing your dog, please do put them on the leash for safety reasons.
