The North Shore service area is made up of three distinct districts. The suburban North Shore (made up of the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, District of West Vancouver, Lions Bay and Bowen Island) is part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The Sunshine Coast area covers the lower Sunshine Coast from Port Mellon to Egmont and includes the District of Sechelt and the Town of Gibsons. The third area is the Howe Sound which stretches from Britannia Beach in the south to Pemberton and Mt. Currie in the north and includes the District of Squamish and the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
The community profile section includes links to profiles of various communities within our service area. The following community profiles are from either city or district sites, or BC Stats.
