Preserving the views for all Vancouverites

October 25, 2022 by

Devonian Harbour Park, located at the north end of Denman Street and banked by Coal Harbour and Stanley Park, was once slated to become a corridor of towers that would block the views of the North Shore Mountains. The CACV worked from 1963 to 1971 to prevent the shoreline from being cut off from the citizens of Vancouver. Through the urging of CACV a city wide plebiscite was held and showed great support for maintaining the space as parkland. The City purchased the land, with the help of donations from the Devonian Charity Group and Devonian Harbour Park was established.
