• DNCB Outing No. 2023-02B to Stanley Park, January 11, 2023

  Just before the designated time of 9 AM, six of us convened at the Second Beach perking lot. It took Noreen and I about 55 minutes from Tsawwassen, and I must admit I certainly would not relish doing this as a daily commute. The parking pay station was a challenge, as the LCD back-lighting was

  Eleven DNCBers met by the Second Beach swimming pool in Stanley Park – Richard, Kirsten, Debbi, Jacquie, Lee, Roger, Mike, Lorna, Pat, Manli, Terry. The new traffic pattern in Stanley Park made finding our parking lot a bit confusing.  Although the seawall is partially closed for repairs, we were able to follow it part way.
