Community Centre: 

Is there still a need for BCHS to have a community centre?

​

Option 1 - No, we don't need a community centre

​

  • the need for BCHS to have housing as a component of its mandate collapses.

  • BCHS will sell its property, donate the proceeds to a charity, as required by its constitution, and dissolve itself as a society.

​

Option 2: - Yes, we still need a community centre

​​

For how long do we expect this need to remain: 

  • for the near future [five years]

  • for the long-term [10-20 years]

​​

Option 2A

​

If it is just for the near future, keep status quo and let the
property sit and increase in value.

​

Option 2B
 

If it is for the long term, the options would be:

​

Option 2B1

​

Renovate the current building at considerable cost [new mortgage] as the city would require the building to meet new stringent earthquake standards, a setback from the street, additional parking, etc.

​

Option 2B2

​

Sell the property and buy a bigger facility [perhaps in a new high-rise development], requiring a new mortgage and fundraising for a higher cost and renovation.

​

Housing:

Is there still a need for BCHS to have housing as a component of its mandate?

​

Option  H0 - No, no need for housing 

​

If there's still a need for BCHS to have housing as a component of its mandate, the options would be:

​

Option H1

​

Sell the property and the BCHS will, on its own, build a housing-cum-community centre on a new property — requiring a new mortgage and fundraising for a higher cost

​

Option H2

​

Sell the property and the BCHS will, on its own, buy an existing building which will accommodate a housing-cum-community centre.  This will require a new mortgage and fundraising for a higher cost

​

Option H3

​

Sell the property and, in partnership with a not-for-profit housing society, build a housing-cum-community centre
