Surge Narrows Provincial Park

Der Surge Narrows Provincial Park (auch Surge Narrows Park) ist ein etwa 515 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park in den südlichen Küstengewässern der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, verteilt auf mehrere Inseln der Inselgruppe der Discovery Islands. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um einen sogenannten backcountry park. Diese Parks haben üblicherweise keine direkte Anbindung an eine offizielle Straße und sind oft nur über Schotterpisten oder Holzfällerstraßen zu erreichen. Dieser Park ist auf Grund seiner Lage hauptsächlich auf dem Wasserweg zu erreichen. Dabei sind die Wasserwege um die namensgebenden „Surge Narrows“, den Gezeitenstromschnellen zwischen den Inseln im Park, für ihre hohe Strömungsgeschwindigkeit bekannt. Anlage Der Park liegt im Strathcona Regional District, auf verschiedenen Inseln der Discovery Islands. Er erstreckt sich von der Südwestspitze von Maurelle Island über mehrere Inseln der Settlers Group, jedoch nicht deren Hauptinsel Sturt Island, bis zur Ostküste von Quadra Island. Der Park umfasst dabei aktuell 206 ha Landfläche und 309 ha Gewässer beziehungsweise Litoralzone. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Der Park verfügt über keine touristische Infrastruktur. Es gibt daher im Park auch keine ausgewiesenen Campingplätze, jedoch ist das Wildnis-Camping erlaubt. Geschichte Der Park wurde am 30. April 1996 als einer der Provincial Parks in British Columbia, mit einer Fläche von 586 ha, eingerichtet. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden dabei sowohl seine Größe wie auch sein Schutzstatus geändert. Zuletzt wurde im Jahr 2004 sein Schutzstatus und seine Fläche geändert. 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, in diesem Fall Jagd- und Fischfanggebiet verschiedener Gruppen der First Nations war. Die historische Nutzung des Gebietes wird auch durch zwei archäologische Stätten im Park dokumentiert. 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 wird der Park der Coastal Western Hemlock Zone zugeordnet. Mit seinen starken Gezeitenwechseln und vielen Riffen bietet das Meer im Park ideale Bedingungen für zahlreiche Arten von Meereslebewesen, darunter auch für alle fünf in der Provinz heimischen pazifischen Lachsarten.

Sylvia Hotel

The Sylvia Hotel is a historic Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada landmark. Located at 1154 Gilford Street on English Bay near Stanley Park. Constructed in 1912, the Sylvia was designed as an apartment building by Mr. W.P. White, a Seattle architect. It was built by Booker, Campbell and Whipple Construction Company for a Mr. Goldstein, who had a daughter named Sylvia. During the Depression the Sylvia Court Apartments fell on hard times, and in 1936 the building was converted into an apartment hotel. With the advent of World War II, many of the suites were converted to rooms, to provide accommodation for crews of the merchant marine. After the war the number of permanent residents in the hotel gradually decreased, until by the sixties the Sylvia had become a completely transient full-service hotel. In 1954 it opened the first cocktail bar in Vancouver. Until 1958 the Sylvia Hotel was the tallest building in the West End – a well-known landmark, its brick and terracotta extension softened by the Boston Ivy that now completely covers the Gilford Street side of the hotel. Until superseded by the West-End building boom of the 1960s, the hotel restaurant's slogan was "Dine in the Sky". In 1975 the Sylvia was designated by the City of Vancouver as a "heritage building", thereby ensuring its survival for many years to come. The famous Sylvia Hotel cat, "Mr. Got To Go", has inspired three popular children's books by Lois Simmie and illustrated by Cynthia Nugent. They are engaging tales of the stray cat who arrived at the Sylvia Hotel one day, took control of the premises and decided to check in permanently. A feline resident – possibly the same cat – is mentioned in a song about the hotel by American folk singer-songwriter Cheryl Wheeler. Sylvia Ablowitz Sylvia Goldstein, (later Ablowitz) spent her childhood in the West End. A strong swimmer, she sometimes practised in English Bay and once won a race between the bay and Kitsilano Beach. (Later, she would attract the attention of her future husband, Harry Ablowitz, by diving into False Creek from a boat carrying Jewish singles on an outing.) After Sylvia completed a degree at the University of British Columbia, her family moved to Los Angeles, where she worked for a labour union. She returned to Vancouver in 1928, and met Harry, marrying him within a year and settling in North Vancouver. Together, they founded a realty company. Sylvia and her husband were very committed to Jewish seniors. Sylvia worked with Jewish community groups, and she and Harry helped set up a rest home and hospital, now in operation for nearly 60 years. In her 90s, Sylvia was still volunteering for a telephone home-check program to help out other senior Jews. She died on April 12, 2002, at the University of British Columbia Hospital.

Syringa Provincial Park

Syringa Park is a provincial park on the east shore of Lower Arrow Lake in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. At the foot of the Norns Range, Tulip Creek passes through the centre, and Syringa Creek is closer to the southeastern boundary. The park is about 19 kilometres (12 mi) west of Castlegar via Broadwater Rd. Name origin In 1903, David Loughnan and Robert Russell Rose spent several months camped by Syringa Creek, which they named on observing the preponderance of syringa. The men had been hired by a British aristocrat to log the land, but could not receive mail to their camp unless the place was given an official name. The following year, the Geographic Board of Canada officially adopted the name. The mock-orange syringa, indigenous to the area, blooms in the early spring, releasing a distinct scent. The area has cultural and spiritual significance to the Okanagan, Shuswap and Ktunaxa-kinbasket First Nations. A European community soon developed on what was the Columbia River foreshore. Residents relocated prior to the reservoir for the Keenleyside Dam submerging the area in 1968. Park profile In 1968, following the dam construction, Syringa Creek Provincial Park was established. In 1995, the park expanded and the name contracted to Syringa Park. In 2019, private land acquisition expanded the park by 35 hectares. The park currently encompasses 4,499 hectares. Park facilities One of the largest provincial campgrounds in the region, many of the approximately 70 sites have electrical outlets. All have fire pits. The two separated camping areas are the Big Horn, adjacent to the day-use area overlooking the lake, and the other back from the water. Showers, and a combination of pit and flush toilets exist. The location has two boat ramps, an archaeological site, three rocky beaches and outdoor nature displays. A $350,000 upgrade to the filtration of drinking water lifted the longstanding "boil water advisory" for the reopening of the park for the 2021 camping season. Flora & fauna The moderately warm and dry climate promotes the growth of Ponderosa Pine and bunchgrass, creating one of the few unique grassland ecosystems in the Kootenays. Wildlife includes elk, deer, and rocky mountain bighorn sheep that graze on the rock bluffs. Recreational activities Fishing, swimming, waterskiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular. The Yellow Pine Nature Trail, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi), is a moderately difficult steep climb from behind the park. The trail presents mature yellow pine, several granite rock outcroppings, and lake views, which can be enjoyed especially from the first lookout or farther up at the summit. Other hikes are the Middle Trail and Syringa Trail, leading to additional viewpoints. See also List of British Columbia Provincial Parks References

TD Tower (Vancouver)

Toronto Dominion Tower is located at 700 West Georgia Street in Downtown Vancouver and is connected to part of the Pacific Centre shopping mall. The skyscraper stands at 127 m or 30 stories tall and was completed in 1972. When the tower was built, on the site of the former second Hotel Vancouver, its black-glass facing earned it the press sobriquet "the Black Tower", and with the white design of the adjacent Eaton's building (now Nordstrom) it was considered by some an architectural disaster. The first tenant in January 1972 was the law firm of McLaughlin, Holburn & Beaudin on the 16th floor. The firm (now named Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP) has remained a tenant since opening and currently occupies the topmost floors. Since 1996, the building has been the home of Corus Radio Vancouver, as well as a number of law firms, including Farris LLP, Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP, Cansure and QAlaw.

Tamanawis Secondary School

Tamanawis Secondary is a public secondary school in Surrey, British Columbia. It is a part of School District 36. History Tamanawis Secondary was opened in 1994. The school's design is also very similar to that of Elgin Park Secondary School. In recent history, Tamanawis was the site of a manslaughter where 18-year-old Mehakpreet Sethi was fatally stabbed by a member of a group of six to ten assailants in November 2022. The accused plead guilty and faced manslaughter charges with a sentence of house arrest for two years. Perpetrator names were not released to the public as they were minors attending Tamanawis at the time. Sports Programs & Activities The school is well known for its sports programs, with its basketball and other teams consistently performing well in the BC Provincial Championships. The boys basketball team won the Fraser Valley in 2014, 2016 and 2018 while finishing 3rd in the province in 2014 and 2018 and 2nd in 2016. Tamanawis is the only Surrey public school to win the Fraser Valley since 1981. The boys soccer team also won the Fraser Valley's in 2013 and 2015. Tamanawis was also the home school of STUDIO99, a group of teen filmmakers who make short films in all genres as well as cover many school events, like the Tamanawis Christmas Community Dinner, where the jazz band annually makes an appearance. Tamanawis also hosts a number of clubs including: Empowerment, Award winning Theatre Company and Cure for Cancer Club. Tamanawis Secondary School and Elgin Park Secondary School both share the same architectural design, including the gym which resembles many similarities.
