Provincial assessment means reprieve for Minchau blacksmith shop

The stop button has been hit on the wrecking ball aimed at the A. Minchau Blacksmith Shop in Old Strathcona. At least for now.
Heritage Forward, an organization focused on the city’s heritage, posted on social media Thursday that the province had ordered a historical resource impact assessment for the shop, which means that the building can’t be demolished at this time.
A demolition application for the building was scheduled for a hearing June 20.
