There's new life on the horizon for the historic Eau Claire and Bow River Lumber Co. building. "We're just in the final stages of negotiating a contract with one of our partners who will help us activate and program the building," Hoffart said. "A major program goal for the area for all the work we're completing in Eau Claire was to maintain that idea of vibrancy." A newsletter posted in July by the Eau Claire Community Association included a call for organizations interested in establishing a neighbourhood hub, including plans for activities such as art installations, storytelling and markets. The Eau Claire Community Association did not respond to CBC's request for comment.
