Heritage Vancouver invites you to participate in an evening of conversation about the
future of Delamont Park. Guests, City of Vancouver Councillor, Geoff Meggs, artist and
historian Michael Kluckner, and architect Sean McEwen will discuss what we could do
with this remarkable stock of city-owned heritage buildings. The boundaries of the city's
Delamont rental houses, the oldest houses in Kitsilano, are Arbutus in the west, 5th
Avenue in the north, the CPR tracks and Cypress Street in the east, and 7th Avenue in the
south. The city owned properties extend along the CPR tracks to Burrard Street in the
east and Broadway in the south.

As with Mole Hill and Barclay Heritage Square in the West End, the city originally
purchased the Delamont properties with the intent of tearing them down for alternative
uses. The city purchased this land along the route of a proposed arterial roadway to the
Burrard Bridge; later the houses were to be demolished to create a park. Fortunately
neither of these plans was implemented and we now have an amazing stock of heritage
homes, gardens, trails and streetscapes within Kitsilano. Come and contribute your ideas
to the future of this area.

Part of the Conversations about Endangered Sites series:
Heritage Vancouver announces a new series of conversations about endangered heritage
buildings, streetscapes and neighbourhoods in Vancouver. The conversations will take
place the 4th Tuesday of the month, 7pm to 9pm at the Alliance for Arts and Culture
located at #100 - 938 Howe St.
