The big news in the Lonsdale Avenue corridor of North Vancouver for this week is of course the grand opening of the new Shipyards Skating Rink in Lower Lonsdale, where the City of North Vancouver has been celebrating all week about it. Plus yesterday we learned that the Joey Restaurant in the same location is going to be opening on January 23rd 2020 to the public, which will have a world class patio looking out over downtown Vancouver. WINNING!
