We held a funeral for the Birks Building On March 24, 1974, a group of about 100 gathered for a mock funeral for the Birks Building, an 11-storey masterpiece at Georgia and Granville

It’s Day 6 of Heritage Week’s Pastimes in Past Times and one of the favourite things to do in Vancouver has always been to protest. Angus McIntyre captured this photo of protesters at the funeral for the Birks Building in 1974 (We saved the clock!)
