I don’t recall seeing the blog about the Mission House before! My friend, Keith, shared it as a memory on his Facebook page. Is it still standing? Would hate to see such a beautiful structure torn down!

What a wonderful article! Thank you and what a lovely tribute to Kathryn! And the facts you state are correct, less seafarers. And yes a lot of not so good things are happening around the house. It’s sad. And I’m not afraid to be called on and saying it. I was born in Vancouver, with Japanese grandparent who went and ddied in interment camp. I’m eastender to the bone. Please let me know if I can do anything to keep this house there. Not much money but I can talk!

This can not be allowed to happen!
Also, because it is so difficult to access, more outreach is needed to bring those who need the services to this mission.
I highly recommend getting MP Jennie Kwan and MLA Melanie Marks on board.

The Port of Vancouver is not user friendly at all. They do very little (other than ads) to be good corporate citizens.
Perhaps the Arab owners of Centerm (Dubai Ports) would like to help out the mision as they are the closest port operator to the mission.

As much as I love New West and the people, they are slow! They have been revitalizing Queens Park for the last 50 years. Let me give this problem some thought. My 25 working years at the coast I specialized in sales and marketing, when I came to the Kamloops area I did resource development for the United Way. I know about grant writing and fundraising. Telus has the capacity to do it for nothing. Is the mission a registered nonprofit? Even the Filipino community could help. What about Shaw? Has anyone investigated this already so I am not duplicating?

Any hope of doing something to either get internet set up properly and save this building?
Love your blog, my parents moved to Vancouver in 1933 from Winnipeg. They never went back. I grew up with an appreciation of history and heritage. I lived in New Westminster for 49 years and we lived in and renovated 3 heritage houses in Queens Park. Now live in the grasslands of the interior but still very interested in Vancouver heritage.
