History
An addition was added to the school in 1962. Named after the residential district it was constructed in. The neighborhood was named after the Capilano River, Capilano River Canyon and Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver, BC. “Capilano” is an adaptation of a Salish word that means “people of Kiap.” It was also the hereditary name of the Chief of the Squamish, central coast Salish who traditionally lived in what is now known as North Vancouver. The Indigenous name belonged to the Squamish Nation and was spelled Kia’palano, meaning “beautiful river”. Kia’palano was the name of a great Squamish chief who lived in this area in the early 1800s. Suzuki Charter School now resides in the school.
