Gabriola Sands Provincial Park

Der Gabriola Sands Provincial Park ist ein nur rund 6 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park auf Gabriola Island in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der Park gehört zu der Gruppe von nur rund 5 % der Provincial Parks in British Columbia, die eine Fläche von 10 ha oder weniger haben. In der Umgebung des Parks finden sich weitere Parks. Ebenfalls auf Gabriola Island der Sandwell Provincial Park und der Drumbeg Provincial Park sowie der Saysutshun (Newcastle Island Marine) Provincial Park auf der benachbarten Insel Newcastle Island. Anlage Der Park liegt am nordwestlichen Ufer von Gabriola Island im Regional District of Nanaimo. Die Insel ist durch eine Fähre der BC Ferries mit Nanaimo auf Vancouver Island verbunden. Der Park liegt an der Basis (welche dabei einen Isthmus bildet) einer kleinen Halbinsel und grenzt an die Taylor Bay im Westen und die Pilot Bay im Osten. Der Park trennt dabei die Spitze der Halbinsel vom Rest der Insel und wird selber durch eine öffentliche Straße in zwei Teile geschnitten. Aktuell umfasst das Schutzgebiet nicht nur die Landfläche (etwa 2 ha), sondern auch dem jeweiligen Bereichen vorgelagerte Wasserflächen (etwa 4 ha). Bei dem Park, der am 28. Juni 1960 eingerichtet wurde, handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie III (Naturdenkmal). Der Park entstand durch Umwandlung eines privaten Erholungsgebietes. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden die Grenzen des Parks mehrfach verändert. Tourismus Der Park verfügt, neben einem kleinen Picknickbereich, über keinerlei touristische Infrastruktur. Besondere touristische Attraktion des Parks sind die „Malaspina Galleries“. Der Uferbereich aus Kalkstein wurde durch das Meer zu einem Überhang ausgespült und in diesen Überhängen verewigten sich Jugendliche, wodurch der Name „Malaspina Galleries“ entstand. Obwohl diese Malereien zwischenzeitlich von der Parkverwaltung entfernt wurden, hat sich der Name gehalten. Weblinks Gabriola Sands Provincial Park. In: BC Geographical Names (englisch).

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Victoria, British Columbia)

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church in downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The congregation was founded in 1862 and the current church building was completed in 1890. History The congregation was founded in 1862 by Irish-born Rev. John Hall. Their first church building opened in November 1863 on the corner of Blanshard Street and Pandora Street. The earlier ministers of the church played an important role in spreading Presbyterianism throughout Vancouver Island and the interior of the province. As the congregation grew in size, owing to Victoria's sizeable Scottish population, the corner stone for the present church was laid on March 7, 1889. The church was designed in the Scottish baronial style by architect Leonard Buttress Trimen. It was dedicated on January 12, 1890. The church was one of the first in North America to be constructed with electric lights. The church has had many prominent congregants including Premier John Robson, whose funeral was held in the church, and industrialist Robert Dunsmuir. In 1925, St. Andrew's voted to remain Presbyterian when two-thirds of the denomination split to form the United Church of Canada. In 1979, the church received heritage designation from the City of Victoria. See also List of historic places in Victoria, British Columbia References External links Official website

Georgia Viaduct

The Georgia Viaduct is a twinned bridge that acts as a flyover-like overpass in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It passes between Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadium and connects Downtown Vancouver with Main Street and Strathcona. History The first Georgia Street Viaduct was built between 1913 and 1915, crossing over the expanding CPR rail yards and a small portion of False Creek. The narrow structure included streetcar tracks that were never used. At one point, every second lamppost was removed to reduce weight. It was replaced between 1971 and 1972 by the current viaduct, in which the two directions of traffic are structurally separated. The current Georgia Viaduct was envisioned in the early 1970s as replacing the original structure, continuing to overpass the CPR rail yards while forming part of an extensive freeway system for Vancouver. Although communities were opposed to demolition and the expanded freeway plan was scrapped, the replacement viaduct project proceeded. The freeways would have required demolishing buildings in neighbourhoods including Strathcona, the Downtown Eastside and Chinatown. A predominantly Black Canadian community called Hogan's Alley was bulldozed in building the viaduct. The first phase (Georgia) of the new viaduct opened to traffic on June 28, 1971, and the second phase (Dunsmuir) opened on Jan. 9, 1972, amid protests which attempted to block mayor Tom Campbell's limousine from reaching the western end. Traffic flow The viaduct's eastbound traffic is fed from Georgia Street and leads vehicles to Prior Street and Main Street. The viaduct's westbound lanes—often referred to as Dunsmuir Viaduct because they connect to Dunsmuir Street—pass to the north of Rogers Arena. The westbound traffic comes from Prior Street and Main Street, and carries vehicles and pedestrians to Dunsmuir Street, downtown which feeds into Melville Street and eventually Pender Street. Deadpool filming On April 5, 2015, the viaduct was closed for two weeks to allow filming of the movie Deadpool, which was released on February 12, 2016. Demolition On October 27, 2015, Vancouver City Council voted to demolish the twin viaducts. A new six-lane road configuration that merges Expo and Pacific boulevards was in the planning stage. By 2025, the demolition had been delayed indefinitely. There were no plans to redevelop the area until after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. See also Georgia Street List of bridges in Canada References

Vancouver House

Vancouver House is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Construction of the skyscraper began in 2016 and was expected to be finished by the end of 2019, but completion was postponed to summer of 2020. On April 15, 2021, a water pipe on the 29th floor burst and damaged 17 units as well as several elevators. Design Vancouver House was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and structural engineers Buro Happold and Glotman Simpson. The design is based on a triangle that rises from the ground and gradually transitions into a rectangle as it ascends to the top. The design reflects the constraints of developing the triangular-shaped plot of land immediately east of the Howe Street on-ramp of the Granville Street Bridge. The east and west facades of the building feature box-shaped balconies, giving the building's exterior a honeycomb texture. Spinning Chandelier, a public art piece, was installed near the skyscraper as part of the city's rezoning requirement.

Gladstone Provincial Park

Der Gladstone Provincial Park ist ein 39.387 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park im Süden der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der Park liegt etwa 30 Kilometer nordöstlich von Grand Forks im Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. Er kann über den Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) erreicht werden. Anlage Der Park liegt nördlich des Christina Lake in der Christina Range, einer Kette der Monashee Mountains. Die Berge beherrschen dann auch den größten Teil des Parks. Dazu gehört auch der 2256 m hohe Mount Gladstone und der 2279 m hohe Mount Faith. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie Ib (Wildnisgebiet). Geschichte Der Park wurde im Jahr 1995, zusammen mit 49 weiteren Provincial Parks in British Columbia eingerichtet. Bei seiner Einrichtung hatte er eine Größe von rund 39.322 ha. Bei der Einrichtung dieses Parks wurden andere Park, Texas Creek Park und Ole Johnson Park, aufgelöst und mit eingegliedert. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden die Parkgrenzen neu festgelegt. Seit 2014 hat der Park eine Fläche von 39.387 ha. Wie bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt jedoch auch für diesen, dass er – lange bevor die Gegend von Einwanderern besiedelt oder Teil eines Parks wurde – Jagd- und Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations, hier der Okanogan, war. Von ihnen finden sich im Park kulturelle Spuren, unter anderem auch verschiedene in die Felsen geritzte Zeichnungen. Flora und Fauna Das Ökosystem von British Columbia wird mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System in verschiedene biogeoklimatische Zonen eingeteilt. Diese biogeoklimatischen Zonen zeichnen sich durch ein grundsätzlich identisches oder sehr ähnliches Klima sowie gleiche oder sehr ähnliche biologische und geologische Voraussetzungen aus. Daraus resultiert in den jeweiligen Zonen dann auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb des Ökosystems von British Columbia wird das Parkgebiet auf Grund seiner Größe und seiner Lage verschiedenen Zonen zugeordnet, und zwar sowohl der Interior Cedar - Hemlock Zone (ICH) als auch der Englemann Spruce Subalpine Fir Zone (ESSF) und der Alpine Tundra Zone (AT). Aktivitäten Der Park verfügt über einen Campingplatz mit 62 Stellplätzen für Zelte und Wohnmobile. Weblinks Gladstone Provincial Park. In: BC Geographical Names (englisch). Gladstone Provincial Park.

Mission (Colombie-Britannique)

Mission est une municipalité de district de la Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. Elle est située au nord du Fraser, approximativement à 70 km à l'est de Vancouver et à 10 km au nord d'Abbotsford. Toponyme Le nom de la ville provient d'une ancienne mission catholique, St. Mary's Mission (« Mission Sainte-Marie »), fondée en 1861 par le père Léon Fouquet de l'ordre des Oblats de Marie-Immaculée. Histoire En 1860, les pères Oblats de Marie-Immaculée s'établissent à New Westminster. La même année, le père Léon Fouquet arrive au Fraser et fonde la mission St. Mary, ce qui entraîne la création d'une implantation d'Européens, qui deviendra la ville de Mission. La ville est officiellement enregistrée le 14 juillet 1892 sous la forme administrative de district municipality. En 1922, le centre-ville (bureau de poste, gare ferroviaire, quartiers résidentiels) devient une entité administrative indépendante enregistrée sous le nom de « Mission City ». Le 1er novembre 1969, Mission City fusionne à nouveau avec le district pour former la municipalité actuelle.
