The city of Vancouver, B.C., is proposing a public plaza in Davie Village that will be named in honor of Jim Deva, co-founder of Little Sister's Book & Art Emporium and a leader of Vancouver's GLBT community, MetroNews reported. Deva, who fought a censorship case to the Supreme Court of Canada and won, died last September at age 65.
Traffic will be closed permanently for a block at the plaza, which will include moveable seating, a speaker's corner kiosk (with the suggested name "Jim Deva's Soap Box"), expanded patios, overhead strand lighting, a rainbow mosaic and light masts with power portals.
