[edit] History

Capilano Mall was originally built in the 1960s. Sears Canada was an initial anchor tenant, since joined by Wal-Mart. The mall underwent an upgrade in the late 1980s, and again in 2001 [1]. The most recent renovation added a food court, new entrances, and a major update to the mall's appearance, which dated back to its original design. A movie theatre complex was proposed as part of this project, but has yet to materialise as of October 2007.

[edit] Transportation

The mall is located on Marine Drive, a major east-west street across the North Shore. Vehicle access is also available from Hanes Avenue and Mackay Road. TransLink bus routes 236, 239, 240, and 255 (West Vancouver Blue Bus) offer service to the mall, along with connections to Lonsdale Quay, Lynn Valley Centre, and Park Royal. Capilano Mall is also in close proximity to the Lions' Gate Bridge, which connects the North Shore to downtown Vancouver. Access to the Trans-Canada Highway is several kilometres to the north.
