Join Heritage expert Anthony Norfolk on a tour of one of Vancouver’s oldest commercial streets- Granville. Norfolk was involved in developing the 1991 comprehensive plan for the Downtown South and remains an active advocate for its preservation.

.
Due to redevelopment pressure and current zoning policy, the heritage character of Granville Street’s 800 to 1200 blocks is at risk. The tour will be a good opportunity to focus on the future of these blocks. The 1991 report recommend that the area be the main street for the Downtown South neighborhood. This has never happened. Could this still be the destiny of this important strip?
