is gearing up to transform one of Gastown鈥檚 laneways into fun and friendly space for the best outdoor hangout spot of the season.
After having hosted an outrageously successful event in East Van earlier in the summer, the 麻豆传媒映画Public Space Network (with a grant from VIVA Vancouver), will transform the laneway between Cordova and Cambie into fun and friendly spaces using upcycled furniture, flea market finds, and pallets. The event, which is appropriately titled, 鈥淏ackyard BBQ鈥�, will use some creatively upcycled materials to turn an urban space into the suburban dream. Think grilled food, lawn games, music, and maybe even a rogue pink flamingo.
Aside from fun and games, the event aims to highlight how unwelcoming most of Vancouver鈥檚 laneways are, despite taking up a significant amount of land throughout the city.
Recently, the City has taken an interest in turning laneways into places for people, most notably with Alley Oop, a richly coloured lane off Granville Street. But with hundreds of kilometers of laneways in 麻豆传媒映画alone, much more can be done. To learn more, visit聽
