Robert, I remember that hangar in Boundary Bay! A planner friend of mine has described the demolition of the Jericho Beach hangars as “an act of civic vandalism.” It seems there’s no Vancouver history that City Hall/Parks Board doesn’t want to demolish and then erase. I’ll add that the two largest hangars, 7 and 8 inland from the water, were both burned down in suspicious fires on two separate foggy days, the kind of foggy days Vancouver used to have in the 70s thanks to the beehive burners used by industry. Al Clapp, the head of Habitat Forum, calls this “development by fire.” The demolition of the 3 waterfront hangars happened in 1980.
