Woodlands is the first Arm community and attracted settlers in the early 1900’s as a choice summer resort. Regattas and water sports events kept the summer residents entertained. As time passed, the summer homes became home to permanent residents as a road connection to North Vancouver was completed.
The Society acknowledges that the land of the Seymour Communities is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We continue to learn and celebrate the culture, history, stories, and people of the Tsleil-Waututh.
