Hi Everyone,
This is to let all those who are helping out to save the Heatley block from demolition that local architect James Burton has been asked by the city of Vancouver and the VPL to do a Statement Of Significance (SOS) of the historical value of the Heatley Block. He has suggested that people's personal stories or recollections or even those of their parents, grandparents or friends involving the Heatley Block or the businesses in it, would demonstrate the strong connection and importance that the building has to the neighborhood and the people who live here.
If you do have a recollection, story or fond memory about the Heatley Block, please send it to me within the next few days and I will forward it to James Burton.
Thanks for all your support!
