NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. In the square outside Lynn Valley Library, the scene of so much unexpected senseless violence and heartache two weeks ago, there is once again light, there is once again love, and there is now dancing. “After the events of March 27, this place felt different. It didn’t feel as safe as it once did,” said Nicole Byrom, organizer of a series of dancing flash mobs on Sunday. “So, part of our purpose today was to reclaim that space, this space, as a safe place for us to be, to bring our families to. In small, physically distanced groups, members of the community performed a short dance routine as a way to come together and demonstrate that Lynn Valley will not be intimidated by the actions of the person who randomly stabbed seven people on March 27, leaving one dead.
