The Amazing Mother Joseph

Mother Joseph did some amazing work in a time when women were marginalized. Really cool history of the Providence Academy and the lengths that Mother Joseph and the Sisters undertook to make the Academy a reality. http://www.providence.org/-/media/files/providence/about/history/providence-academy-18741950-by-sr-mary-claverweb.pdf?la=en And don't forget to sign the Petition if you haven't already! https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/help-protect-the-historic-providence-academy.html

Our goal is to educate people in Vancouver and beyond about this important historical landmark and the danger posed to its historical and architectural significance by its current owner's redevelopment plan.  Stay tuned as we dig into the issues around this plan and get the information that you won't get from the press releases and newspaper interviews. Whether you oppose all development on the Academy site, or just this development, here‘s the first concrete step you can take to help protect the historic Providence Academy: sign the online petition.  https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/help-protect-the-historic-providence-academy.html
