Rod Day will regale us with stories about the people, planning and politics that created the West Vancouver we know today.
Rod Day has lived in the same house with his family on Sinclair Street for 59 years. He is professor emeritus in history at Simon Fraser University and has a B.A. from Stanford University and an M.A.-Ph.D. from Harvard University. He served as municipal councillor in West Vancouver from 1987 to 1996 and 2003 to 2008 and for over 30 years on various advisory boards and commissions, mainly in planning, design and parks.
A year ago he published a book Inside West Vancouver, People, Politics and Planning since 1912 based on his years of service to West Van and on his skills as an historian and researcher.
