Kitsilano’s Little Yellow Schoolhouse gets Another Reprieve

Judgement day for the Little Yellow Schoolhouse in Kitsilano was to come today but it looks like it will stand another day.

The fate of the 100+ year-old yellow schoolhouse on the grounds of newly rebuilt General Gordon Elementary school rested in the hands of a single, government-appointed school board trustee.

That trustee, Dianne Turner, decided today to put off a decision for now and Vancouver School Board officials will meet with heritage representatives before making a final decision.

The Vancouver School Board faced a staff recommendation to demolish the structure in March 2016 but sought to find creative ways to save it including community programming or as a youth centre or museum.
