King George VI Provincial Park

King George VI Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It was established by Order in Council on May 3, 1937, named in commemoration of the coronation of George VI. 162 acres (0.66 km2) in area, the park was originally established to provide a rest area and campground for travellers on BC Hwy 22 entering Canada from the United States, the site's facilities were repeatedly vandalized until they were finally removed by BC Parks and the site left to revert to its natural state. There are no facilities in this park, nor any trails. The park's stands of old-growth Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood) shelter it from neighbouring mixed-use areas and serve as habitat for cavity nesting birds, such as barred owls, pileated woodpeckers and red-naped sapsuckers.

Larwill Park

Larwill Park, also known as the Cambie Street Grounds, is a former park and sporting field in what is now downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Larwill Park was the location of the bus depot of Pacific Coach Stage Lines and Greyhound Bus Lines from World War II until 1993, when the bus depot moved to Pacific Central Station. Since then, Larwill Park has been a parking lot. The Vancouver Art Gallery has selected it for the location of a new museum building. Location and history Bounded by Cambie, Dunsmuir, Beatty and Georgia Streets, the former park occupied a whole city block and was laid out at the time of the CPR Townsite survey in the early 1880s. It was Vancouver's second sporting grounds, the first being on Brockton Point in what is now Stanley Park, and was used for various sports. A house on the corner of the lot was occupied by an Alfred Larwill ("Al" or "Fred"), who good-naturedly stored a variety of game equipment in his toolshed and allowed team members to use his dining room as a dressing room. Located midway between the city's old downtown around Hastings Street in Gastown and newer areas uptown around Granville, the park naturally became a centre for public meetings, the most infamous a rally by the Knights of Labour, which led to the 1907 Vancouver anti-Asian riots, with the Beatty Street Drill Hall, across Beatty Street on the block's northeast flank, serving as a stage and podium. Baseball, cricket and lacrosse teams made use of the field year round. The playing fields also served as military drill-grounds, with the city's first muster being called up for the Boer War using the site for that purpose, as well as for World Wars I and II. The site was also a main site for rallies by the unemployed and labour organizations in the 1930s. In July 1943 (during World War II), a ceremony was held to dedicate the park to Al Larwill, some 32 years after his death in 1911. However, later that year, while the men who had used it for sport and politics were away at war and not around to prevent it, the site was converted into the bus depot. 2010 Olympics Often used for parking by Canada Post trucks and for film production "circuses", the lot was one of two main sites for cultural events and "nightly celebrations", although not an official venue, during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Future Vancouver Art Gallery site After the bus depot vacated Larwill Park in 1993, it became the only block of vacant public land in downtown Vancouver. It was proposed as a location for various cultural facilities, including the Vancouver Art Gallery. On April 24, 2013, Vancouver City Council voted to designate the property as the site for a new art gallery building. On September 29, 2015, the gallery unveiled drawings by architects Herzog & de Meuron for a new museum building. Relocating to Larwill Park will double the gallery's exhibition space. They were to break ground in 2017, but construction was delayed until funding was secured. References

Mara Provincial Park (British Columbia)

Der Mara Provincial Park ist ein Provincial Park im zentralen Süden, dem Central Interior, der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Anlage Der Park liegt am südöstlichen Ende des Mara Lake, etwa 13 Kilometer südlich von Sicamous im Regional District of North Okanagan. Während der Park nach Westen bis in den See reicht, wird er nach Osten durch den Highway 97A begrenzt. Geschichte Der Park wurde am 6. Mai 1958 als einer der Provincial Parks in British Columbia gegründet. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden dabei sowohl seine Größe wie auch sein Schutzstatus geändert. Heute hat er eine Größe von 13 ha. Wie jedoch bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass die Gegend, lange bevor sie von europäischen Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde, Siedlungs- und/oder Jagd-/Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations, hier hauptsächlich der Okanagan, war. Im Park kann der Rest eines Grubenhauses, eines sogenannten „Kekuli“, besichtigt werden, das allerdings nur von regionaler Bedeutung ist. Flora und Fauna Mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System wird das Ökosystem von British Columbia in verschiedene biogeoklimatische Zonen eingeteilt. Biogeoklimatische 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 grundsätzlich auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik kann der Park jedoch keiner Zone zugeordnet werden. An der Mündung zweier Bäche befinden sich Laichstellen von Fischen. Aktivitäten Der Mara Park ist ein Park, der über keine ausgeprägte touristische Infrastruktur verfügt, sondern nur über einen Strand mit Picknickbereich sowie eine Bootsrampe. Die Bootsrampe bietet den einzigen größeren öffentlichen Zugang zum Mara Lake mit der Möglichkeit, Boote zu Wasser zu lassen. Die Hauptaktivität im Park ist das Schwimmen, Picknicken und Bootfahren. Der Park ist zur Tagesnutzung in der Regel von Anfang Mai bis Ende September des Jahres geöffnet. Das Tor ist in der Nebensaison offen arretiert.

Maxhamish Lake Park

Der Maxhamish Lake Park ist ein 6,03 km² großer Provinzpark im nordöstlichen Landesinneren der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, im Gebiet der Northern Rockies Regional Municipality. Er liegt rund 125 km nördlich von Fort Nelson und 12 km vom Liard Hwy (British Columbia Highway 77) entfernt. Der Park liegt am südöstlichen Ufer der Maxhamish Lake und ist wiederum vom Maxhamish Lake Protected Area umschlossen. Es gibt keinen Straßenzugang zum Park, weshalb er auch als Backcountry Park bezeichnet wird. Außerdem verfügt der Park über keine nennenswerte touristische Infrastruktur. Geschichte Der Park wurde im Jahr 1983 eingerichtet. Der Park änderte dabei im Laufe der Zeit sowohl seinen Status bzw. die Schutzgrundlage und auch seine Grenzen. Der Park wuchs dabei von der ursprünglich, auf die heutige Größe. Dieses Gebiet wird seit jeher und auch heute noch von den dort ansässigen First Nations genutzt, die den Maxhamish Lake als Sandy Lake bezeichnen. Flora und Fauna Der Maxhamish Lake enthält eine Vielzahl von Fischarten. Zu den in diesem See vorkommenden Fischarten gehören: Arktische Maräne (Coregonus autumnalis), Heringsmaräne (Coregonus clupeaformis), Coregonus sardinella, Hecht (Esox lucius), Schleimige Groppe (Cottus cognatus), Spottail Shiner (Notropis hudsonius), Forellenbarsch, Zander und Weißer Sauger (Catostomus commersonii).

Maxhamish Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area

Tłu Tue - Maxhamish Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area is a 27,516-hectare (67,990-acre) provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. The Dene people of nearby Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) and Acho Dene Koe (ADK) lived on the shores of Tłu Tue (fish lake), now known as Sandy Lake or Maxhamish Lake since time immemorial. Before the creation of Indian Reserves, Dene people lived here year-round or as part of a seasonal round between Nelson Forks, Dídah tthe (Pretty Hill), Tłigo ché (François) and Tłu Tue (Maxhamish Lake). One Dene elder recalls boating from Dídah tthe to Tłigo ché, walking to Tłu Tue to hunt, trap, fish and collect plants for medicines, and then walking back to Dídah tthe via overland trail. Although the main village site is on the southeastern shore, there are historical gathering places and burial sites all around the lake. Currently, the Fort Nelson First Nation has four reserve parcels around the lake to protect the grave sites, and many FNFN and ADK members have cabins they visit year round. Visitors to the area are asked to respect the lake and surrounding area, to tread lightly on its shores, and pay the land with a small offering before hunting, fishing or trapping in the area. Conservation The protected area completely surrounds Maxhamish Lake, and offers opportunities for fishing and wildlife sightings (moose and deer are abundant). The park aims to protect arctic cisco, lake whitefish, least cisco, northern pike, slimy sculpin, spottail shiner, trout-perch, walleye, and white sucker. However, in the last fifteen years, BC's Oil & Gas industry has been conducting major operations in the area around the park. This has led to high volume industrial traffic on highway 77 (also called the 317 rd). Recreation Available recreational activities include backcountry camping and hiking, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, and hunting. Location The park is located in north eastern British Columbia, close to the border with Northwest Territories. Located 125 kilometres north of Fort Nelson, British Columbia.

McLean Mill National Historic Site

McLean Mill National Historic Site ist der Ort einer dampfbetriebenen Sägemühle nahe Port Alberni auf Vancouver Island, die seit dem 1. Juli 2000 für Touristen geöffnet ist. Die Sägemühle wurde am 22. Juni 1989 von der kanadischen Regierung zur National Historic Site of Canada erklärt. Geschichte Die Sägemühle war ursprünglich ein Familienbetrieb und von 1926 bis 1965 als Wirtschaftsbetrieb in Funktion. Das ursprüngliche Grundstück wurde von Robert Bertlett ("R.B.") McLean gekauft, das er mit seiner Frau Cora und seinen drei Söhnen Arnold, Philip und Walter bezog. Der Geschäftsbetrieb wurde möglicherweise von seinem Sohn Arnold übernommen, der das Unternehmen wiederum an seinen Sohn Howard McLean übertrug. Howard war der letzte Eigentümer, bevor die Mühle 1965 geschlossen wurde. Einer der Hauptgründe für die Schließung war der Wettbewerbsdruck, der von größeren holzverarbeitenden Betrieben in der Umgebung ausgeübt wurde. Tourismus Jeweils zur Sommersaison wird die Mühle regelmäßig von einer Dampflok (Alberni Pacific Railway) angefahren, die Touristen zum Firmengelände bringt. Diese können dann Teile des Betriebes besichtigen, zudem findet eine Vorführung des Arbeitsablaufes statt. Weblinks McLean Mill Historic Site (englisch) Einzelnachweise
McLean Mill National Historic Site

McLean Mill National Historic Site is a steam-operated sawmill on Vancouver Island, officially open to tourists since July 1, 2000. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1989. History The mill originally ran as a family operated saw-milling business from 1926 to 1965. The original plot of land was purchased by Robert Bartlett ("R.B.") McLean, and he moved there with his wife Cora, and his three sons Arnold, Philip, and Walter. The business was eventually taken over by Arnold, who then passed on the business to his son Howard McLean, who ran it until its closing in 1965. One of the main reasons for its closing was competition from the larger lumber companies in the area.
