DTES Calls for Retail, Not Police, in Vacant London Drugs Spot | The Tyee The mayor wants police training in the Woodward’s space, but business and community want affordable retail.

2 weeks ago

On August 7, 1971, in Vancouver’s Gastown area, police in riot gear attacked a peaceful pro-marijuana protest, sparking chaos at Maple Tree Square. Almost forty years later, the renowned Canadian artist Stan Douglas (b.1960) created a large-scale photographic mural restaging the event as faithfully as possible. His two-storey-high work located in the atrium of the redeveloped Woodward’s Complex, shares the account of an episode in Vancouver history and its impact on public space, gentrification, homelessness, and police activity.

"it's wild that the plan for Woodwards 2026 is to have a police compound surrounding a Jim Pattison owned supermarket, complete with a gigantic mural of the cops beating up hippies in the 70s."

Opinion: Chasing another store at Woodward's misses why London Drugs left | Urbanized Having another retailer take over the former London Drugs space at Woodward's isn't revitalization. It sets up the next business to fail.
