The 625 Powell Street Foundation -
620 Clark Project
April 2021 - august 2022
This project involves taking an existing catering company space and upgrading it to meet the new code and then installing a full kitchen facility for the First United Church to serve the Downtown Eastside meals while their current facility is being renovated (125,000 meals per year). It also will house the Dudes Club (a unique model that reduces social isolation and wellness among a vulnerable population of men) and Recovery Café (free membership peer-led model that provides additional supports for those living on the street, in shelters, or supportive housing) the first in Canada. Scoular Consulting has managed the entire process from engaging consultants, hiring a CM and the consulting with the user groups to design this multi-facetted facility.
