Petition addressed to: Mayor and Council, City of Kelowna


The City of Kelowna is planning to demolish Anderson Place, a historic waterfront home at 2302 Abbott St — a landmark that has been part of our community's character for generations.
We, the undersigned, urge the Mayor and Council to halt the planned demolition and commit to exploring the repurposing of Anderson Place as a community asset for the residents of Kelowna.

Reason

Anderson Place sits on a rare and treasured piece of Kelowna's waterfront, beside Strathcona Park and across from Kelowna General Hospital. Once demolished, this piece of our history is gone forever. Before that happens, Kelowna residents deserve a say in what becomes of it.
A growing group of neighbours and community members believe this house has the potential to serve Kelowna for generations to come — as a welcoming, multipurpose community centre that fosters connection and community.
We are simply asking the city to pause, listen, and work with the community before going ahead with the demolition.
Organized by the Save Anderson Place Committee

Why people sign

Because history is important these houses have stories

Save Kelowna’s history

Preserve the historic home and repurpose for the community to access.

Why destroy a piece of history?

Important heritage home. We must stop destroying our history. These structures can never be replaced. Saving the Anderson Home is also a tribute to Dr Anderson, one of Kelowna’s early and most important doctors. Dr Anderson was a strong champion of preserving Kelowna’s heritage so the preservation of his home is part of his legacy.
