The Britannia Heritage Shipyard Building Committee is changing its name to reflect more responsibilities.
Now called the Steveston Historic Sites Building Committee, it will oversee, in the near term, the restoration planning of the Phoenix Cannery Net Loft and the Steveston Interurban Tram.
The committee will also be guiding the development of the Japanese Duplex and the First Nations Bunkhouse, as well as advocating for additional washroom facilities at Britannia. The city plans to fully restore the tram, at a cost of $400,000.
The new committee will only have four members, as opposed seven. On the committee will be two city councillors, one member of the Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society and one from the Steveston Historical Society.
