Gibby’s Field Group (2000–2001)
In 2000–2001, a group of local citizens, who called themselves the Gibby’s Field Group, got wind that the City of Vancouver was planning to develop the three City lots. They raised awareness about the historical and ecological value of Gibby’s Field and succeeded in getting a moratorium placed on development of the lots.
Below are some of the documents produced by the Gibby’s Field Group. Probably of most interest are (7) the colour drawing by artist Helen Lambourne of how Gibby’s Field could look, (8) the five-page Gibby’s Field Report (in HTML or PDF) by Mavis Dixon, and (10) the seven-page Gibby’s Field Final Research Report (in HTML or PDF) by Arn Keeling.
