Tomorrow evening’s discussion at SFU Woodward’s will be around what Vancouver’s heritage is and what heritage values ought to be recognized. We then tie these values to a discussion of the Heritage Register, an inventory that identifies approximately 2,200 heritage sites and resources.
The panelists will discuss how our existing register can be improved so that it reflects and recognizes a broad range of heritage values, beyond just the architectural.
A general discussion with the audience follows and at the end, everyone will be invited to submit feedback on the evening’s topic to the consultants leading the Heritage Action Plan.

In case someone finds this helpful, I mapped the heritage sites the other night. Did not spent much time on it, could only associate 2135 of the 2279 listed heritage sites with properties. http://www.mountainmath.ca/map/special/11
Found it interesting that overall heritage sites have better maintained buildings than the average Vancouver property. There are only 320 heritage sites with building value less than 5% of the land value, much better than almost 1 in 3 properties in that category citywide.
But heritage homes on average appreciated less in value than non-heritage homes.
Wow, it’s surprising to know that the land value is much higher than the heritage homes.
