5163-5187 Joyce Street Open House
December 11, 5 to 7 pm A few years ago, when the City of Vancouver created a long-term plan for the possible development of the area around the JoyceCollingwood SkyTrain station, Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) organized neighbourhood meetings so that local residents, organizations and businesses could discuss what amenities we would like to see in the neighbourhood, to meet the needs of the growing local population that would result from local development.

The neighbourhood expressed strong support for a library, to be located near to the JoyceCollingwood SkyTrain station. Neighbours noted that a library would help boost literacy rates in our neighbourhood, provide a free amenity for the neighbourhood and continue to create a healthy hub in this part of our neighbourhood. A location near a SkyTrain station would make it accessible to more people.
