A Townscape Rediscovered - A film about the creation of Centennial Square
Centennial Square was created in the mid 1960s as a way to reinvigorate the downtown neighbourhood. This film, from Victoria Colonist journalist Ian Street and City of Victoria planner Rod Clack, was created to show the process of how the square was built and how much a success Centennial Square was.
In the late 1950s the City of Victoria was seriously considering selling City Hall to a developer and building a new City Hall near Bourghton and Quadra. When Dick Wilson was elected as mayor in 1961 these plans were halted.
The person that was the lead on the project was Rod Clack, an architect that had been hired by the City of Victoria as their first planner in 1958. Clack pushed for the creation of Centennial Square and Bastion Square.
The redevelopment project encompassed the 1878 City Hall, part of Cormorant Street, a short section of Broad Street, the Victoria Public Market, and the Pantages Threatre. The mayor convinced Thomas Shanks McPherson to make a large bequest to the city for the project.
What ever you think of Centennial Square, its construction meant City Hall was saved and now Victoria has the oldest City Hall in Western Canada.
I came across a reference to this film from Vincent Gornall who pointed me to a link to a work by Nils Norman called An Anatomy of a Civic Square, 2009 which was Exhibited in 2009 at the Art Gallery of Victoria as part of Assume Nothing: New Social Practice
Film Credits:
Director - Ian Street
Story Concept - Ian Street and Roderick Clack
Camera - Ian Street and Jack Long
Producer - James Beveridge
Editing - Margaret Beveridge
Funded by the National Centennial Commission
Released in 1966
Ian Street was member of the BC Legislative press gallery for the Victoria Daily Colonist and this seems to be his foray into film making. He eventually become a full time film maker and moved to Ottawa in 1973.
Jack Long was a cinematographer with CBC Vancouver
Rod Clack was born in Winnipeg in 1921. As a youth his family moved to Victoria, where he attended South Park Elementary and Victoria High School, graduating in 1938. He attended Victoria College (now the University of Victoria) until 1940, and then served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1942 to 1945. In 1953, Clack completed his degree in Architecture and Urban Design at UBC. He joined the City of Victoria in 1958 and served as City Planner till 1965, Clack commenced the beautification and restoration of downtown Victoria and designed Centennial and Bastion Squares. In 1965, Clack moved to Ottawa and continued his urban planning efforts for the Centennial Commission and then the National Capital Commission. He retired to Sidney in 1982 and died in 2007.
A copy of the film was released in 2012 by the Victoria Civic Heritage Trust
The original 16mm print is held by the York University Archives. I understand the City of Victoria Archives also has a copy

Our Town Footage of Victoria BC people and places in the 1960's
This footage from the 1960's comes from a 16mm film I purchased from an estate during my days as proprietor of Camera Traders. The cameraman was Rick Crawford, his company was Nomad Films. Crawford was a cameraman in the US navy (see my colour 16mm footage of the USS Hawkbill submarine in WWII). Crawford was also a street preacher in Victoria.
