NORTH VANCOUVER – The District of North Vancouver will expand and refurbish the Capilano Library in Edgemont Village thanks to a joint investment of $2 million from the federal and provincial governments. This funding will be provided through the Canada-B.C. Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (CBCMRIF), which supports the continued growth of B.C. communities as greener, healthier and more sustainable places to live.The announcement was made today by Russ Hiebert, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Western Economic Diversification and MP for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, and Ralph Sultan, MLA for West Vancouver-Capilano.
Renovations, including seismic upgrades, will bring the almost 1,500-square-metre structure to current building code and safety standards. Electrical and mechanical systems will also be improved to make the building more energy-efficient. Once complete, the library, which serves nearly 30,000 residents, will be safer and more attractive to visitors.
