TOURISM CHALLENGE 2025

 

Complete the Tourism Challenge Quest in the Lower Lonsdale Neighbourhood!

April 19, 2025 – May 31, 2025 

Brought to you by North Van Arts and the North Shore Culture Compass

 

Launching in late May 2025, the North Shore Culture Quest is a new, free app that invites residents and visitors to get outside, have fun, and complete cultural quests! Along the way, you’ll discover the art, history, and culture of Vancouver’s North Shore.

As a participant in the Tourism Challenge, you’re getting an exclusive early preview of the app! Once you’ve completed the quest, a short feedback form will pop up – we’d love for you to take a moment to share about your experience as we’re busy adding the final bells and whistles before the official app launch!

Tip: It’s best to complete this quest during our opening hours (Wednesday – Saturday, 11am – 5pm) so you can collect your stamps from CityScape while you’re in the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood.
