Save The HEATLEY BLOCK From DEMOLITION
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, call upon the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Public Library and Vancouver City Council to stop the proposed demolition of the heritage Heatley Block (c. 1931) and two historic houses (c. 1898 c. 1889) , located on the corner of Hastings and Heatley. The City intends on demolishing these buildings in order to build the new community library at that location.
We believe that the optimal location for the new library is in the 1921 Lord Strathcona Elementary School, as offered to the City by the Vancouver School Board for that express purpose. This solution will allow for both the Heatley Block buildings as well as the 1921 Lord Strathcona Elementary School building to be saved from demolition.

Let me quote Jane Jacobs who put it more concisely: "Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kindno matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise

Vancouver desperately needs to retain these gorgeous old structures if our city is to have any architectural character.

Let's leave some old buildings in our city. There's too much sameness right now.
