Chronology

 

1890 -      City of Vancouver loans $10,000 to the Brockton Point Athletic Association, which is created by an act of the Provincial legislature, to clear 10 acres at Brockton Point in Stanley Park. Terms of the loan, the association subleases 10 acres from the City on a 50 year sublease to correspond with the head lease for the lands between the Federal government and the City of Vancouver.

 

1914 -       City of Vancouver forecloses on the athletic association for non payment of 1 ½ years of rent. Association releases all tenant improvements, grandstand, clubhouses, physical plant and land to the City of Vancouver in trust for amateur athletes in consideration for release from the debt.

British Columbia Cricket Association & the Brockton Point Cricketclub created from among the membership of the Athletic Association.
