People uprooted from Lynn Creek (10)

Lynn Creek, in the Seymour Valley, flows from the North Shore mountains down to Burrard Inlet. In 1885 H. H. Spicer leased timber rights in the Lynn Creek area from the Moodyville company and began cutting shingle bolts. Prospectors were also active in Lynn Creek, scouring the watershed for signs of gold and zinc. The area was remote and rugged. After two years, Spicer sold his operation to the Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Company. The east side of Lynn Creek was heavily logged by the Cedar Mills Company, and the area was closed to commercial logging in 1928.

Groups of Japanese Canadian children would occasionally have class picnics at Lynn Creek. These children would attend English schooling in the mornings and Japanese Language school classes in the afternoon.
