Happy Lunar New Year!
 
Wednesday, January 29 marks the start of the Lunar New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Snake, which symbolizes wisdom, transformation, intuition, and creativity.

It is a time for celebration and renewal, and the West Vancouver Memorial Library will be hosting events and festivities to welcome the new year over the coming weekends.

On behalf of all of council, I would like to express our best wishes and hopes for this coming year to everyone in our community who celebrates the Lunar New Year.
Wishing you and your loved ones health, happiness, and abundance in the year of the Snake.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
