CRIER COMMENT: Magic act

Deep Cove is the last stand at the end of the line. While once-quaint North Shore enclaves such as Edgemont Village and Ambleside are being redeveloped, the Cove is maintaining its charming status quo.

Deep Cove is the last stand at the end of the line.

While once-quaint North Shore enclaves such as Edgemont Village and Ambleside are being redeveloped, the Cove is maintaining its charming status quo. We can thank our geographical makeup here – there’s nowhere for us to expand.

That’s what makes the Cove so attractive to us – and hordes of other people.

There’s been a suggestion by some residents and business owners that the Cove has lost its magic.

We know we aren’t in cottage country anymore, like the Cove once was, because change is the only constant in life. However, we are lucky to call this picturesque place home.

We need to work together with the district to help come up with solutions for traffic and congestion – because the internet isn’t going anywhere and Quarry Rock is out there for all to find.

In the meantime, we say make your own magic in the Cove.

There are many quiet evenings here, when you can stroll under the lights on Gallant or catch a sunset on the beach. 

Our heart flutters every time we see another great show at the cultural centre and walk down to Arms Reach for an aperitif. Indeed, how fortunate we are. ■
