Zulu Records

Zulu Records is a Canadian record store and independent record label, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that sells new and used CDs, LPs, 45s, turntables and concert tickets and is currently located at 1972 West 4th Avenue. One of the most famous independent record stores in Canada, Zulu was a finalist in CBC Radio 3's Searchlight contest to name Canada's best record store. History Zulu Records was started in 1981 by Grant McDonagh, who had been an employee of Quintessence Records. When Quintessence Records ceased operations as both an independent record store and independent record label, McDonagh continued operations in a similar fashion, as Zulu Records. Zulu frequently hosts free in-store performances which have included Julie Doiron, Billy Bragg, Dean Wareham, Chad VanGaalen, The XX, Kurt Vile, Lou Barlow, Kid Koala, Jay Reatard, Grouper, José González, Superchunk, Hawksley Workman, The War on Drugs, Rodriguez, Jonathan Richman, Yo La Tengo and Frog Eyes among others. In 2011, Zulu Records began selling DVDs and Blu-rays in partnership with Videomatica video store. However, in March 2021, Videomatica moved out of Zulu Records and into their own space. Zulu Records has often been called the birthplace of the indie rock genre "Cuddlecore" as the term was coined by long term employee and local indie music hero Nicolas Bragg, best known for his work as a guitarist in the Vancouver rock group Destroyer. In addition to Bragg, Zulu has housed many employees who have played in legendary Vancouver bands. These include: Cub, The Christa Min, The Nasty On, The Cinch, Anemones, The Book of Lists, Weed, Ali Milner, Fuck Me USA, The Shilohs, Victoria, Victoria!, Leviathans, Cowards, Womankind, Pink Mountaintops, Baron Samedi, Connecticut, Magneticring, Blaise Pascal, Blues Crab, Old Mutton and others. In the early 2000s, Zulu employees formed a super-group amongst themselves known as The Countless Jibes. The band is best remembered for their multitude of members (often up to ten), multiple guitar attack and such classic rock gems as "Jibes Alright", "Jibes'll Ride" and "Going For Dead". Throughout the years they have shared the stage with many successful bands including Mudhoney, The Decemberists and The Walkmen. Unfortunately due to the vacation of key members from the city, most notably lead vocalist Jason Grimmer and bassist Steven Balogh, the Jibes disbanded in late 2008. Talks of a reunion have occurred in passing but no plans have been made yet. In 2011 Zulu celebrated 30 years in business. Record label The store also previously operated an independent record label, releasing albums by Vancouver artists such as Bob's Your Uncle, Sook-Yin Lee, Slow, Nomeansno and Perfume Tree as well as compilations by The Pointed Sticks, Young Canadians and The Modernettes.

École Victor-Brodeur

École Victor-Brodeur is a French first language K-12 school located in Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada. It is designed to accommodate 540 students from the Greater Victoria area and to serve as a community centre for the local francophone community. It was named for Royal Canadian Navy officer Victor Brodeur, who was one of the first "group of six" officer cadets accepted into the RCN and also one of the 3% of Quebec born officers to reach the rank of Rear Admiral. The school is operated by the Conseil Scolaire Francophone (CSF), the public school district that represents francophone students throughout the province. The school is the second-largest such school in B.C. and also operates a pre-school and a before- and after-school student care program. The school district has a partnership agreement with the municipality of Esquimalt to share the use of school and nearby municipal facilities, including the school's theatre, gym, basketball courts, field, and kitchen, as well as the public recreation centre, Archie Browning Arena, and Bullen Park. History École Victor-Brodeur was formed from the 1985 merger of the two local Francophone schools, the "Programme Cadre de français" at Uplands Elementary School in nearby Oak Bay and a school for the children of the military at CFB Esquimalt. The newly formed school occupied the old Harbour View School with 207 students. During construction of the new facility, the school operated temporarily in Richmond School and Uplands Elementary School. The school is named after Victor-Gabriel Brodeur, a rear admiral in the RCN who served at the Esquimalt military base. Facilities and Programs The current school is a replacement school of the same name and was completed in January 2007 at a cost of $19 million which was provided by the provincial and federal governments. It was designed by Marceau Evans Johnson Architects to be "eco-friendly" and incorporates many sustainable design features, including a highly efficient mechanical system, a rainscreen envelope, an emphasis on the use of natural light, environmentally friendly materials, and permeable paving. The project earned a LEED Silver rating. The school also hosts the studios of CILS-FM (Radio Victoria), the Victoria-Esquimalt region's francophone community radio station, which itself collaborates with the school on media and journalism education programs for students. The school offers high school students the option to complete the International Baccalaureate program either through certificates or the diploma.

City Hall (Vancouver)

Die City Hall ist das Rathaus von Vancouver sowie Sitz des Stadtrates und des Bürgermeisters. Das zwölfstöckige, von Fred Townley entworfene Gebäude wurde 1936 im Art-déco-Stil errichtet. Es befindet sich an der West 12th Avenue im Stadtteil Mount Pleasant, etwa 3 km südlich des Stadtzentrums. Ab 1929 war die Stadtverwaltung Vancouvers im 1911 erbauten Holden Building an der Hastings Street untergebracht. Dieses Gebäude erwies sich aber bald als zu klein. Am 3. Januar 1936 begannen die Bauarbeiten an der neuen City Hall. Vor dem Gebäude steht eine von Charles Marega geschaffene Statue, die den britischen Entdecker George Vancouver darstellt. Das Denkmal wurde am 20. August 1936 durch Sir Percy Vincent, den Lord Mayor von London, enthüllt. Sir Percy, der damals in Vancouver zu Besuch weilte, machte der Stadt auch einige Geschenke. Dazu gehörten ein Amtsstab und ein Zweig „…von einem Baum aus jenem Hain, wo ein fallender Apfel Isaac Newton die Inspiration zu seiner Gravitationstheorie lieferte.“ Der Amtsstab und der Zweig werden heute noch in der City Hall aufbewahrt. Am 1. Dezember 1936, nach einer Bauzeit von nur 330 Tagen, war das Rathaus fertiggestellt. Jede Außentür ist mit dem Wappen der Stadt Vancouver geschmückt, jeder Türgriff mit einem Monogramm des Gebäudes. Die Decke im zweiten Stock des Mittelturms ist mit Blattgold aus verschiedenen Minen in British Columbia verkleidet. Am 2. Januar 1937 war George Clark Miller der erste Bürgermeister, der das neue Rathaus bezog. 1968 bis 1970 wurde im Osten ein vierstöckiger Flügel angebaut. Seit März 1976 steht das Gebäude unter Denkmalschutz. Weblinks Architecture of City Hall
Vancouver City Hall

Vancouver City Hall is home to Vancouver City Council in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Located at 453 West 12th Avenue, the building was ordered by the Vancouver Civic Building Committee, designed by architect Fred Townley and Matheson, and built by Carter, Halls, Aldinger and Company. The building has a 12-storey tower (the point is 98 metres [322 ft] tall) with a clock on the top. The building is served by Broadway–City Hall station on the SkyTrain's Canada Line. History Between 1897 and 1929, the Vancouver City Hall was located on Main Street, just south of the Carnegie Library; that building had previously served as a public market and an auditorium. In 1929, City Hall moved into the Holden Building (built 1911), while the Main Street building became an extension of the Carnegie Library. After being elected mayor in 1934, Gerry McGeer appointed a three-man committee to select the location for a new city hall; choices included the former Central School site at Victory Square, and Strathcona Park at the corner of Cambie Street and West 12th Avenue (no relation to the current park in the Strathcona neighbourhood). The panel recommended the Strathcona Park site, and City Council approved the selection in 1935, making Vancouver the first major Canadian city to locate its city hall outside its downtown. Construction of the new City Hall began in 1936 (Vancouver's Golden Jubilee) on January 3, and the first cornerstone was laid by McGeer on July 2. A 2.4-metre (8 ft) statue of Capt. George Vancouver, by Charles Marega, was placed at the front of the building. It was unveiled on August 20 by the visiting Lord Mayor of London, Percy Vincent. Vincent also presented several gifts to the city, including a civic mace, and a sprig "... from a tree in the orchard where a falling apple gave Isaac Newton the idea that led to his theory of gravity". The mace and the statue still reside at city hall. Construction cost CA$1 million and was completed on December 1, 1936, allowing the building to be opened in the same year as construction began. Each lock plate on the outer doors displays the Vancouver Coat of Arms, and each door knob bears the monogram of the building. The ceiling on the second floor of the rotunda was made of gold leaf from several British Columbia mines. After winning the civic election on December 9, 1936, George Clark Miller became the first mayor of Vancouver to occupy the then-new city hall, on January 2, 1937. Construction on a four-storey east wing began in 1968 and was completed in 1970. In 2012, city staff gradually started moving out when a study found it would not withstand an earthquake. In 1969, a coat of arms was added, and the original building was declared a Schedule A heritage building in March 1976.

Mestna hiša v Vancouvru

Mestna hiša v Vancouvru je dom mestnega sveta Vancouvra v Vancouvru v Britanski Kolumbiji v Kanadi. Stavbo, ki stoji na naslovu 453 West 12th Avenue, je naročil Odbor za gradnjo mestne občine Vancouver, zasnovala pa sta jo arhitekta Fred Townley in Matheson, zgradilo pa jo je podjetje Carter, Halls, Aldinger and Company. Stavba ima 12-nadstropni stolp (visok 98 metrov) z uro na vrhu. Zgodovina Med letoma 1897 in 1929 je bila mestna hiša v Vancouvru na ulici Main Street, južno od knjižnice Carnegie; ta stavba je prej služila kot javna tržnica in avditorij. Leta 1929 se je mestna hiša preselila v stavbo Holden (zgrajeno leta 1911), stavba na ulici Main Street pa je postala podaljšek knjižnice Carnegie. Po izvolitvi za župana leta 1934 je Gerry McGeer imenoval tričlanski odbor za izbiro lokacije za novo mestno hišo; med možnostmi sta bila lokacija nekdanje Centralne šole na Trgu zmage in park Strathcona na vogalu ulice Cambie in avenije West 12th (brez povezave s sedanjim parkom v soseski Strathcona). Odbor je priporočil lokacijo parka Strathcona, mestni svet pa je izbiro odobril leta 1935, s čimer je Vancouver postal prvo večje kanadsko mesto, ki je svojo mestno hišo postavilo zunaj središča mesta. Gradnja nove mestne hiše se je začela 3. januarja 1936 (zlati jubilej Vancouvra), prvi temeljni kamen pa je McGeer položil 2. julija. Pred stavbo je bil postavljen 2,4 metra visok kip kapitana Georgea Vancouvra, ki ga je naredil Charles Marega. 20. avgusta ga je odkril župan Londona, Percy Vincent. Vincent je mestu podaril tudi več daril, vključno z mestno žezlo in vejico »... z drevesa v sadovnjaku, kjer je padajoče jabolko dalo Isaacu Newtonu idejo, ki je privedla do njegove teorije gravitacije«. Žezlo in kip še vedno stojita v mestni hiši. Gradnja je stala milijon kanadskih dolarjev in je bila končana 1. decembra 1936, kar je omogočilo odprtje stavbe v istem letu, ko se je začela gradnja. Vsaka ključavnica na zunanjih vratih prikazuje grb Vancouvra, vsaka kljuka pa nosi monogram stavbe. Strop v drugem nadstropju rotunde je bil narejen iz zlatih lističev iz več rudnikov Britanske Kolumbije. Po zmagi na državljanskih volitvah 9. decembra 1936 je George Clark Miller 2. januarja 1937 postal prvi župan Vancouvra, ki je zasedel takrat novo mestno hišo. Gradnja štirinadstropnega vzhodnega krila se je začela leta 1968 (dokončana leta 1970), leta 2012 pa so se mestni uslužbenci postopoma začeli izseljevati, ko je študija pokazala, da ne bi vzdržalo potresa. Leta 1969 je bil dodan grb, prvotna stavba pa je bila marca 1976 razglašena za stavbo kulturne dediščine iz seznama A.
