CBC (2013-11-20): Larrivee closing its Vancouver factory; the company ran factories in Vancouver and Oxnard. New 33,000 sq ft plant March 1998 per a dealer history (community). A forum post gives North Vancouver 1983-92 then Vancouver 1992-2013, i.e. possibly two sites. Toronto (1967-77) and Victoria (1977-82) were workshop-scale and not created. Staff at closure about 30 (CBC) vs about 100 in 1998 (dealer history). Unverified. [2026-10-16 geolocation, llm:claude-sonnet-5-5] The point is the LAST site, 780 East Cordova St, Vancouver, BC V6A 1M3, used 1997 to 2013 (Larrivee archives page, S955; Vancouver business licence record, S956, status Gone Out of Business; claims C2005, C2006). The same Larrivee page lists earlier shops that this one row spans: 267 E 1st St, North Vancouver (1983-1994) and 1896 Victoria Div., Vancouver (1994-1997); the plant's opened year 1982 predates both (Victoria BC, Esquimalt Rd., 1977-1983 per the same page). Consider splitting into per-site rows (reported, not done).
