$8.5 million.
That’s how much the Vancouver School Board (VSB) received from the lease of Fleming Elementary’s basketball courts to a developer for 99 years.   Vittori Developments, a luxury apartment builder, plans to construct a mixed-use residential and commercial complex on the site.

Meanwhile, Fleming Elementary is operating at 107% capacity. The basketball courts, if preserved as public space, could have been used for much-needed portables or additional child care spaces in the rapidly growing 49th and Knight area of Vancouver.

Vancouver DPAC stands with Fleming Elementary PAC in urging the City of Vancouver to stop the rezoning of the basketball courts.
