COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.1

Inventory of Historic Resource - Property Acquisition
(B. Henderson)

 

 

 

 

Edmonton is a city where ideas are born and creativity has and will flourish.

 

One hundred years ago this year, a leading 20th century thinker was born in Edmonton. His early years significantly influenced the long-term philosophical theories he held which shaped the international community. Marshall McLuhan, the man behind “the medium is the message” was a westerner born in Edmonton with deep family roots in the Edmonton region – roots that he maintained and nurtured all of his life.

 

There now exists an opportunity to acquire for the City of Edmonton to acquire a piece of city history, the birth place of Marshall McLuhan in the Highlands.  A desire has been voiced by the community who believe that this property can be repurposed from a private residence into a contemplative creative working space for our creative community. 

 

Can Administration please outline and report back to Executive Committee on the following:

 

1)                 What is the significance of the McLuhan House to Edmonton’s historic character?

2)                 Can the McLuhan House be added to our Inventory of Historic Resources to recognize Marshall McLuhan’s significance to the City of Edmonton.

3)                 What is the viability of purchasing this property and bringing into the City inventory for use as rental not-for-profit use?

4)                 How can the Edmonton Art Council program the space to support our creative community and support their needs?

5)                 Are their partners that may exist who would have an interest in supporting the purchase or operations of the space should it be added to the City inventory?
