STRATHCONA
ARCHIVE
The Strathcona Residents Association is a volunteer-run non-profit BC Society that was founded in 1992. Our mission is to promote the health, safety and well-being of residents living in the Strathcona neighbourhood.
STRATHCONA HISTORY
Strathcona is Vancouver’s oldest, most historic and most diverse neighbourhood. Starting out as a collection of shacks around the Hastings Lumber Mill, it evolved into a residential area that became home for successive waves of immigrants. In the 1950s, planners declared it a slum and devised plans for the demolition of homes to clear the way for housing projects and a freeway. But local residents organized and ultimately prevailed. Since the 1960's, Strathcona has emerged as a lively urban village that combines a strong sense of community with close proximity to city amenities.
