Hi neighbour — it was a slow August across Metro Vancouver, with regional sales landing 20.7% below the 10-year seasonal average of roughly 2,356 sales. North Vancouver held up noticeably better: sales here came in essentially flat compared to last August, even as the rest of the region posted its softest summer in years. Here's what the numbers, and the neighbourhood, looked like last month.

02 · SCHOOL WATCH

North Vancouver's newest elementary school just opened its doors

Cloverley Elementary — a brand-new, 585-seat school at 970 Shavington St — welcomed its first K-7 students this September. Backed by $61 million in provincial funding plus contributions from the school district and the City, it's the sixth major capital school project to break ground in North Vancouver in six years.

The building also includes a neighbourhood learning centre with childcare programs — a real, tangible sign of continued investment in the area for families weighing a move here.
