【明報專訊】溫市政府計劃向華埠僑團傳統建築協會(CSHBA)撥款10萬元，研究如何保留華埠12幢獲市府列名的傳統建築。撥款包括將會用作聘請專家揀選需要優先修葺的堂所或樓宇，另外亦會聘請財務專家負責製訂集資方案，並考慮發行「社區債券」(Community Bond)向公眾集資，將會深入研究債券的發行形式和回報率。
溫市議會去年通過撥款360萬元，資助總額3600萬元的會館傳承計劃(Chinese Society Legacy Program)，為華埠12幢堂所和會館進行大型修復工程，並指出傳承計劃的其餘資金需透過省和聯邦政府及社區籌集。

卡加利市政府將於周四舉行首場諮詢會，討論華埠一幅土地重建發展而衍生的長遠規劃爭議等事宜，呼籲民眾參與其中。
市府期望諮詢會能集結社區聲音，讓市府的規劃部門「更瞭解各方的疑慮、(期望的發展)機遇及成果」。
市議會今年4月通過，三度押後審議一幅具爭議的地皮發展項目，並額外製訂「規劃展望報告」(scoping report)，以便廣納民意，為華埠規劃發展定下更清晰方向。

Since 2005, National Trust for Canada has been publishing an annual list of the country’s most endangered places.
The charity releases the list to raise awareness of the “value that historic places bring to quality of life, local identity and cultural vitality.” In choosing the sites for the list, the organization measures a place’s significance, the severity of the threat it faces and how much work has been done to protect it.
This year’s list, released on Thursday, includes Vancouver’s Chinatown, which the organization says is at risk of losing its unique character.
“Relentless development threatens the physical fabric of this nationally significant urban cultural landscape,” the charity states on its website. It adds that “intense speculation” has raised rents and displaced long-time residents.

Canada’s largest Chinatown stands as a testament to the integral role the Chinese community has played in shaping Vancouver. Since before the city’s founding in 1886, Chinese immigrants settled in the area of Carrall Street and Pender Street, forming a tight-knit self-segregated community, amidst racial prejudice. They brought with them Chinese architectural styles, whose influence is felt throughout the neighbourhood and in the National Historic Site at its core. The blend of Chinese and Western styles lends Chinatown its distinctive feel, giving rise to places like the Sam Kee Building, the world’s narrowest commercial building, and the Chinese Freemason’s Building. Today, Chinatown continues to be a hub for social and cultural activities for Vancouver’s thriving Chinese community.

【明報專訊】溫哥華古蹟會(Heritage Vancouver)公布2016年溫哥華十大關注(Watch List)名單，指溫市一些鄰舍的特色、文化和歷史面對威脅，榜上有逾100年歷史的社區學校、地標性建築物和華埠(圖)等。
機構指，華埠、福溪和市中心東端部分地區都在今年的名單上，它們每一處都擁有溫哥華歷史的獨特之處，在不同文化社區中佔重要地位，但「全部面臨同一威脅——發展壓力。」
機構指，這些地區首先引來發展是因其獨特之處，但大肆發展和巨大的項目卻給這些特色造成無法挽回的改變，例如溫西獨立屋，推翻重建已司空見慣，但至少應該保護特色屋。

All eyes were on Chinatown Calgary this month as the community fought back against plans for a 27-storey development pegged for the largest vacant lot in the community. Chinatown’s existing Area Redevelopment Plan hasn’t been updated in 30 years, but with three more developers drawing up plans for the neighbourhood, it’s now getting some much needed attention.
“Policy documents like this should be reviewed every five years,” says Terry Wong, spokesman for Chinatown’s recently founded Business Revitalization Zone, “so it’s 25 years overdue.”
