Literacy BC Has Moved

For 20 years, Literacy BC had offices in the Standard Building at Richards and Hastings. On November 30, 2009, we moved. Our new address is #704, 333 Terminal Avenue, Vancouver BC, V6A 1C4.

Literacy BC Old Office

Literacy BC had offices in the standard building for 20 years. That equals a lot of boxes to move.

A beautiful view from the new office

The move was a lot of work, but our new office offers certain advantages.

Chaos in the new office.

Did I mention that we had to move a lot of boxes?

Jumping up and down in recycling bin

Twenty years of files leads to a lot of recycling.

Great view

All of the new offices are beautiful, but some of the offices have a better view.

A giant pile of boxes

Whew. Did I mention the boxes?

More boxes

Egads! More boxes!

Busy working in the new space.

At last, we are settled, and can get down to work.
