  • Empire Stadium, Located on 14 Acres at the Pacific National Exhibition at Hastings Park in East Vancouver, Is One of Them
    AN EMPIRE LEGACY For Immediate Release (June 22, 2010) Vancouver, British Columbia: In the timeline of any city there are places that become immortal in its growth, locations that become legend in the fabric of its local culture. Empire Stadium, located on 14 acres at the Pacific National Exhibition at Hastings Park in East Vancouver, is one of them. For 39 years, Empire Stadium captured the collective imagination of Vancouverites experiencing the thrill of a football game held outdoors on a warm September afternoon; or the hysteria of a once-in-a-lifetime concert; or the pageantry of a visit by royalty. The allure of Empire spanned several generations, and nostalgia for the memory of the open-air stadium that was once the grandest in the country continues today. Arguably one of the Top 10 wonders of the Canadian sports world, Empire Stadium was the setting of many historic milestones. Empire Stadium is the site of one of the most important moments in sports history – the August 7, 1954 ‘Miracle Mile’ during the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The most famous event of the Games was the One Mile Race in which both John Landy and Roger Bannister ran the distance in under four minutes (Bannister 3.58.8; Landy 3.59.6). The race's end is memorialized in a statue of the two (with Landy glancing over his shoulder, thus losing the race) that stood outside the stadium until its demolition. The statue is now located near the south-west corner of Hastings Park at the intersection of Renfrew and Hastings Streets.

  • Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C
    Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C. by Paul Kasman B.A., University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION in the School of Public Administration Paul Kasman, 2015 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C. by Paul Kasman B.A., University of Western Ontario, 2007 Supervisory Committee Dr. Kimberly Speers, School of Public Administration Supervisor Dr. Lynne Siemens, School of Public Administration Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Kimberly Speers, School of Public Administration Supervisor Dr. Lynne Siemens, School of Public Administration Co-Supervisor The Grandview Woodland local area of Vancouver, British Columbia, is an area in transition. Retail, demographic, residential occupancy, and changes to built structures indicate that gentrification has escalated in the past seven years. Long standing impediments to gentrification, including industrial manufacturing, social housing, and crime, are not deterring change in this area to the extent they once did. This thesis examines how public policy has affected these changes in Grandview Woodland. Public policies embodied in laws and regulations have the capacity to either encourage or dissuade gentrification; however, other variables also influence gentrification making it difficult to determine the importance and influence of public policy in the process. This thesis uses semi-structured interviews and a document review in a case study of Grandview Woodland, to gain a better understanding of how public policies can influence gentrification in a local area where gentrification was previously impeded.
