Our home is truly historic; housed in Vancouver’s heritage Firehall No. 22, built in 1922. The building operated for decades as Marpole Place, a vibrant community hub, until a devastating flood in 2013. The City of Vancouver then refurbished it and, in 2017, ANHBC was selected as its new operator. MNH officially opened its doors on May 22, 2019 under the guidance of South Vancouver Neighbourhood House.
Today, this heritage firehall has transformed again: it’s a welcoming place where children discover, youth lead, newcomers find support, seniors connect, and families share meals. It’s a powerful reminder that community grows from continuity, care, and shared history.
