@Holte_School She was a beacon of light for many from the Lozells community. Thoughts are with her family and friends at this very sad time. A true leader.

Everyone associated with Holte has been saddened recently to hear of the death of our former Headteacher Pat Walters who led the school from 2001-2015. She had a huge impact on the lives of many young people and helped build the successful careers of many staff at the school.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@bbyvillage Lozells was founded on a hill, hence the first recognised name was Loress Hill and then changed to Lowshill and now named Lozells.

Place names are important. Giving an area a name is a significant act, and has an enduring effect on the land. We don’t know what Lozells was called before 1908. Do you? #BCAAW2022

This is a photograph of the Lozells Post Office circa 1910, on the north shore of Burnaby Lake. This two story house stood at the north eastern corner of the railway tracks and Piper Road.

In 1908, Colonel James and Hepezebah Ward came to Burnaby and opened a post office. Hepezebah named it Lozells because when she lived in Birmingham, England, she attended a church in a neighbourhood called Lozells.
