Well, what is going on… Mission knows the ghost barge will become a dump grouds. Eventually a home for the homeless. They have enough prisons ,a boat full of homeless will keep them good as a third world colony.

At this point we are not able to disclose the new location except that it will be attached to a pre-existing and developing facility engaged in Community Recover and Building. The barge will become part of our expanding educational system as well as a ‘Multipurpose Centre’. The structure has a couple of legacy features which will, when restored, create a very versatile space indeed.
We already have a ‘Ready to Install’ Galley.

Wow! What will the barge be used for, once restored, and can you tell us where it’s going?

There is a move afoot to do something with the barge. while we deal with Scrap primarily, we will not be breaking the barge but moving it to a new location once it is restored.

It is interesting to see it still there. I have taken the westcoast express – train. I often see it there and think of how it’s such a waste just sitting in a public waterway. I live in the Thompson-Okanagon now but lived just away from this area by SFU.

Thanks for the pics.

It looks like it could house a good portion of the homeless in Vancouver.
