Vancouver Mayor Cuts Ribbon at Community Amenity
Space for new MOSAIC Headquarters
(Vancouver BC) Mayor
Gregor Robertson participated
in
the
ribbon-cutting
ceremony at MOSAIC’s new
headquarters on September
26th.
Located at 5575
Boundary Road, the 23,000
square foot space at Wall
Centre-Central Park is owned
by the City of Vancouver and
designated as a community
amenity with MOSAIC as the
operator.
Discussions with the
City regarding a new home for
MOSAIC began in 2005, and
the location was confirmed in
2013.
“I’m exceptionally
proud to celebrate MOSAIC’s
new home in Collingwood,
where they can continue to
provide essential services and
programs to new Canadians in
50 per cent bigger space than
before,” says Mayor Gregor
Robertson. “This unique new
space, owned by the City
through community amenity
fees, operated by MOSAIC
and outfitted by Wall Financial,
will be a new cornerstone for
immigrant, newcomer and
refugee communities close to
fantastic amenities, affordable
housing, childcare and transit
and I extend heartfelt thanks
to all the partners who made
it possible.”
The Mayor stated that
Wall Financial spent more
than $11 million to create
the space for MOSAIC. He
noted that celebrating other’s
cultures is “essential to who
we are” and that it was an
honour for the City to help
MOSAIC enable “people
who we really, really need to
welcome and help support”.
The new facility comes
with a large community
meeting space which is
available to local groups at no
charge.
The organization’s new
home was built, fully finished
and furnished to meet the
needs of MOSAIC and its
clients by the developer of
the complex, Wall Financial.
Eyob Naizghi, Executive
Director,
conveyed
his
gratitude and appreciation to
the City of Vancouver, and to
Wall Financial, saying “they
have been attentive to our
needs and did a first-rate job
in preparing the space. We
are grateful.”
MOSAIC’s
previous
headquarters was in the heart
of Commercial Drive, which
served as the organization’s
primary site for 30 years.
Despite the re-location, a
full complement of MOSAIC
services remains available
on Commercial Drive at
Broadway.
The Grand Opening
Celebration
featured
a
showcase of services as well as
the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The event was followed by
a public open house during
the afternoon. (Dianna Lee,
