Call for proposals to save Mt Pleasant heritage homes



BC Hydro has purchased land on West 6th and Alberta to construct a new substation that will provide extra power for the growing Mount Pleasant and False Creek areas as well as act as a backup for Downtown.

The two Heritage homes at 304 and 316 West 6th are on the assembled land and were purchased last year. They are designated as Heritage C and can be demolished, however BC Hydro would prefer not to do that. Instead, Hydro is asking for proposals for anyone interested in buying the homes and moving them.

Interested parties can view and inspect the homes from 10 AM to Noon on November 12 and the deadline for offers is by Noon on Friday, November 28th.

Mount Pleasant Active Citizens

Mount Pleasant Vancouver continues to show itself to be a hot-bed of actively involved citizens. From seniors living at the Cavell Gardens, to other residents renting, owning, living and working in and around the Mount Pleasant community, many are involved in various ways to promote, educate, and create a better future for all who live, work, and enjoy Mount Pleasant.

Cavell Gardens General Manager, Marjorie Bungay, hosts and administrates one very active senior living centre. Cavell Gardens is committed to providing today's seniors with a lifestyle choice that gives them the freedom and independence they seek through a variety of amenities and services in a secure, affordable residential setting. Cavell Gardens not only delivers this committment, they have also encouraged active and involved lifestyles.

The Cavell Voices is a residential newsletter contributed to by both staff and residents. With a wealth of historical and personal knowledge and experience, a number of the more vocal and creative residents contribute fantastic stories, informative stories, and other useful general information. The LivingInMountPleasant.com team is grateful for their active participation in sharing the history of Mount Pleasant, and for the active involvement of a few members in the Mount Pleasant Heritage WorkGroup and City of Vancouver Planning.

If you are interested in Cavell Gardens for your aging lifestyle, visit Cavell Gardens website (best viewed via Internet Explorer) for more information. If you are interested in volunteering with the seniors, contact Cavell Gardens directly to determine fit and opportunity.
