Vancouver city council has approved a plan to preserve the decades-old Hollywood Theatre.
The plan is to reopen the theatre as part of a new six-storey development that will provide a performance space for live music, among other events.
The space will also be used to support local community producers, non-profit arts and cultural organizations and special interest groups.
The Art Deco-style theatre was built and opened on West Broadway in Kitsilano in 1935.
It was designed by architect Harold Cullerne, the man behind the very first PNE prize home. It opened in 1935 and was operated by the Fairleigh family
