Bob Rennie, a prominent Vancouver real estate marketer, is reconsidering donating a portion of his art collection to the National Gallery of Canada instead of the Vancouver Art Gallery, following the latter's decision to scrap the design plans for its new gallery due to budget overruns.
Rennie, who was set to donate a portion of his art collection to the new Vancouver Art Gallery , is reconsidering the National Gallery of Canada as his preferred recipient. The Vancouver Art Gallery has scrapped the design plans for its new gallery, a decision that has upset Bob Rennie . The new gallery, which has been in the works for a decade, was scheduled to begin construction this fall but has been postponed due to a budget increase from $400 million to $600 million.
The gallery site at Larwill Park, a three-acre downtown parking lot that once housed a Greyhound bus depot, had previously hosted two three-story modular housing structures that provided safe, supportive housing for 98 at-risk individuals. These structures were removed in preparation for gallery construction, causing the residents to relocate to various accommodations
