The vast majority of the thousands of motorists who cross the world-famous Lions Gate Bridge to reach the North Shore on a daily basis pass by a hidden gem without knowing it. Immediately north of the off-ramp that circles into West Vancouver, concealed behind a row of trees, sits beautiful Klahanie Park.
An agreement with the Municipality of West Vancouver in 1982 made Klahanie Park a permanent home for North Shore Rugby. Since that time, the Rugby Club has built a clubhouse, a covered grandstand, and three fields for rugby players and enthusiasts to enjoy. For the 75th anniversary of rugby on the North Shore, plans are in place to expand their facilities to include more change rooms, new washrooms, a daycare & play area, and more.
While some interpret the word Klahanie to mean “Welcome”, it’s usage by First Nations peoples was in reference to the world in general, and the commonly accepted translation is "the Great Outdoors".
(The CBC produced a half-hour TV series called Klahanie that ran from 1967 thru 1978. It focused on the wilderness and outdoor activities, providing viewers with a glimpse of life in some of the most rugged and beautiful areas of the world while emphasizing conservation and protection of the environment.)
I raised the difficulty on this one because there can be all manner of muggles to keep an eye out for, whether they are walking, jogging, biking, playing rugby, or simply stuck in traffic.
