About me: Not just a tunnel, but a burgeoning community space.
Originally conceived as a bus loop by BC Transit, the project was abandoned in the early 1990s. The potential of this space was eventually recognized by a number of local youth, including Lee Matasi, who sought to utilize it for graffiti and skateboarding purposes.
The Leeside Stewardship Group along with the Vancouver Skateboarding Coalition is working to develop this space in recognition of his efforts and out of respect for his life that ended too soon.
Want to donate to help the project out?
Donations should be made out to 'Hastings Community Association' and sent to 'Leeside Stewardship Group', c/o Hastings Community Centre, 3096 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC. V5K 2A3.
Lee Matasi t-shirts, stickers, and wheels are available from Antisocial skateboard shop - www.antisocialshop.com.
Leeside Tunnel Roast Coffee is available in one-pound bags for $15 and 100% of profits will go towards the construction of Leeside. The coffee can be ordered from antisocialshop.com as well.
