AHA MEDIA remembers when Little Mountain Co-op had an Art – In to raise awareness of the situation – “Artists and community members want to stop the demolition of the 224 homes at Little Mountain and have them re-opened for families in need of affordable housing”
Please see AHA MEDIA’s post of the Art – In dated January 12, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/yfpx8s7
AHA MEDIA arrived on the scene after the Vancouver Sun’s tweet on twitter and spoke to a reliable source onsite who said:
“The Fire had occured between 6pm – 7pm. Workers were finishing up for the day from cutting metal. and the fire happened…There is No Conspiracy Theory!”
Below are photos from the scene
AHA MEDIA asked if there was anyone hurt, the reliable source said “No!”
I used to live quite close to there. Those were good buildings, and the residents were never any trouble; it was a lot of families whose kids played together. Such a total waste, and now the site is being sold to a developer who has said he’s not going to have it ready within a decade. Super. That’s just what the neighborhood needed, a huge hole in the ground for ten years.
