	Lord Strathcona Elementary School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Established in 1891, Lord Strathcona is the oldest school in Vancouver, and serves mainly the Strathcona, Downtown Eastside, and Chinatown areas of the city.
		Lord Strathcona Elementary School is descended from the first two schools in Vancouver: the Hastings Mill School and the Oppenheimer Street School.
		Two groups were involuntarily displaced from the Strathcona area, and are therefore no longer represented in the same proportion as before: the Black community after the destruction of Hogan's Alley, and the Japanese after their internment during World War II.

	Lord Strathcona
		In after life, Lord Strathcona often said that the reason why poor Scots boys so frequently rise to distinction in all parts of the world is the native love for learning in even the humblest, and the excellence of the old-time Scottish schoolmasters.
