PROJECT HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

The site located at Slocan Street and 21st Avenue East (the Slocan site or the site) in Vancouver has a long history of being home to
health-care facilities for children. A 1912 Fire Insurance map from the City of Vancouver Archives identifies an “isolation hospital”
on the site. In 1931, the Vancouver Preventorium for Children with Tuberculosis opened on the site and operated until the 1950s,
when it became a pediatric chronic care facility. The site underwent many transformations, eventually becoming the Sunny Hill
Health Centre and providing rehabilitation care and developmental assessments for children across the province. Sunny Hill’s move
to the BC Children’s Hospital campus in August 2020 has offered a tremendous opportunity to re-imagine children’s health-care
services on the Slocan site, and to continue the site’s long legacy of caring for this population.

The vision for the Slocan site is a new, first-of-its-kind centre in Canada for children and youth living with health complexity.

The new centre will coordinate care by a multi-disciplinary team through a single point of contact; assist families in navigating
a complex system of services; train families, caregivers and community care providers to comprehensively support their child
within their home community; and leverage research and innovation to improve the quality of life for children living with health
complexity and their families.

It's just a massing study.
Just hope it doesn't turn out like that Royal Columbian Hospital expansion with multi-coloured panels.
