Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area

At the The Shipyards District in Lower Lonsdale's waterfront, you’ll find the historic shipyards, where busy tugboats live and a working shipbuilding operation is just east of the long public pier. The surrounding Shipyards District business community is North Vancouver’s oldest and most robust neighbourhood.

It’s steeped in history and bursting with shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, boutiques, specialty food shops, galleries and other businesses of every description that truly capture the unique spirit of the North Shore. The area extends four blocks up Lonsdale Avenue and a block or two east and west.

Park your car and put on your walking shoes to explore the district. This multicultural area boasts a wealth of specialty food and retail shops, pubs and places to enjoy yourself. You have your choice of numerous salons and spas to pamper yourself. Need a lawyer, accountant or consultant? How about a doctor or dentist? Lots of them too.
