History
Cambie Plumbing & Heating has been in operation since Jon D. Gibson opened the doors in 1946. Cambie Plumbing was originally to be located on Cambie street as its name implies, but a last minute opportunity to buy the property on Fraser Street changed its location before the grand opening. Since the ads and the business cards were already printed up, the name remained Cambie Plumbing & Heating despite its location. Cambie Plumbing & Heating boasted the first neon sign on Fraser Street and has since become a landmark.
Cambie Plumbing & Heating is now owned and operated by E.J. Gibson, Jon
D. Gibson's son, and continues to provide service worthy of its reputation
to the entire lower mainland. Though the original building was destroyed
by arsine, The Jon D. Building now stands in its place, opening its doors
in 1991 in the original location. Cambie Plumbing & Heating has the unique perspective of servicing generation after generation of local businesses and families, establishing itself as part of Vancouver's heritage. |
