Templo de Vancouver

El Templo de Vancouver, Canadá, es uno de los templos construidos y operados por la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, el número 131 construido por la iglesia y uno de siete templos SUD construidos en Canadá, ubicado al norte de la ciudad de Langley, un suburbio de 23 mil habitantes a 50 km del centro de Vancouver.​ Antes de la construcción del templo en Vancouver, los fieles de la región se desplazaban 200 kilómetros hasta el templo de Seattle para participar en sus rituales religiosos.​ Construcción Los planes para la construcción del templo en Vancouver fueron anunciados el 25 de mayo de 2006. La ceremonia de la palada inicial tuvo lugar el 4 de agosto de 2007, siendo presidida por autoridades generales del área ante una congregación de unos 500 fieles e invitados incluyendo el alcalde del condado de Stanley, bajo una intensa lluvias El edificio fue construido con granito Branco Siena proveniente de Brasil,​ con un diseño moderno de un solo pináculo y consta de dos salones para las ordenanzas SUD y dos salones para sellamientos matrimoniales. Se asienta sobre un terreno de 4,8 hectáreas ubicado al norte de la zona metropolitana de Vancouver y tiene un total de 1.770 metros cuadrados de construcción. La construcción costó aproximadamente $30 millones con especificaciones arquitectónicas excepcionales, en algunos casos pioneras.​ El templo es utilizado por más de 22.000 miembros repartidos en estacas afiliadas a la iglesia en el suroeste de Canadá. Al templo, dada su cercanía a las comunidades, asisten también miembros provenientes del Condado de Whatcom, del estado estadounidense de Washington.​ Dedicación El templo SUD de Vancouver fue dedicado para sus actividades eclesiásticas en cuatro sesiones, el 2 de mayo de 2010, por Thomas S. Monson, el entonces presidente de la iglesia SUD.​ Monson, quien sirvió como presidente de la misión que cubría al país en 1960, visitó Vancouver con su predecesor Gordon B. Hinckley en diciembre de 2005 para seleccionar el terreno donde se construyó el templo.​ Con anterioridad a la dedicación, la iglesia permitió un recorrido público del interior y las instalaciones del templo entre el 9 y el 24 de abril del mismo año, al que asistieron unos 40 mil visitantes.​ Más de 5.000 miembros de la iglesia e invitados asistieron a la ceremonia de dedicación, que incluye una oración dedicatoria. Desde su dedicación en mayo de 2010, el templo de Vancouver permanece abierto solo para miembros bautizados de la iglesia SUD y quienes han demostrado a sus líderes que son fieles en su fe: las capillas de la iglesia, en cambio, están abiertas los domingos para cualquier visitante sea cual sea su fe y su nivel de compromiso con la religión.

Grandview Heights Secondary School

Grandview Heights Secondary School is a public secondary school in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada and is a part of School District 36 Surrey. History Grandview Heights was part of Surrey's plan to construct 10 new schools due to immigration, population growth, and the aging of existing school infrastructure. Construction of Grandview Heights Secondary School began in 2017, and was completed in September 2021. It was intended to be completed in September 2020, however, rising constructions costs delayed the school's construction by approximately one year. The first class graduated one year after it was completed in June 2023; for the first year of the school's operation, there were no students in the twelfth grade. Since the school's opening, it has suffered from overcrowding issues due to population growth. In 2023, less than two years after it was completed, portable classrooms had to be added to keep up with the growing number of students, and more are expected to be added in the coming years.

Golden Ears Bridge

Die Golden Ears Bridge ist eine sechsspurige Straßenbrücke in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Geplant, finanziert und gebaut wurde die 976 m lange Querung des Fraser Rivers vom deutschen Bauunternehmen Bilfinger Berger. Betreiberin des mit Hilfe einer öffentlich-privaten Partnerschaft realisierten Bauwerks ist für insgesamt 32 Jahre die Golden Crossing General Partnership Konzessionsgesellschaft. Die Kosten des gesamten Projekts sollten durch Mautgebühren wieder eingebracht werden. Auf Grund veränderter politischer Rahmenbedingungen wurde die Mautpflicht vorzeitig mit Ablauf des 31. August 2017 abgeschafft. Konstruktion Die Brücke wurde als Extradosed-Brücke mit außen liegenden Pfeilern gebaut. Insgesamt werden 160 Schrägseile über vier Pfeilerpaare geführt, um die Fahrbahn zu halten. Diese besteht aus vorgefertigten, jeweils 18 t schweren Stahlbetonfertigteilen. Zugehörige Infrastruktur Im Zuge des Baus der Golden Ears Bridge entstanden zusätzlich Zufahrtsstraßen mit zwei bis sechs Fahrstreifen und einer Gesamtlänge von 13,3 km, um die Brücke an die bestehende Straßeninfrastruktur anzuschließen. Außerdem wurden kommunale (Schnell-)Straßen auf einer Länge von insgesamt 14,2 km ausgebaut, um das mit Eröffnung der Brücke anwachsende Verkehrsaufkommen zu bewältigen. Dazu gehörte auch der Bau von 16 kleineren Brücken. Weblinks Golden Ears Bridge. In: Structurae Offizielle Seite zur Brücke auf translink.ca (engl.)

Golden Ears (pont)

Le Golden Ears, officiellement Golden Ears Bridge, est un pont à haubans à six voies sur le Fraser à l'est de la région de Vancouver dans la province de Colombie-Britannique au Canada. Mis en service en 2009, il relie la rive sud du fleuve, qui abrite les villes de Langley et de Surrey, avec la rive nord où se trouvent Maple Ridge et Pitt Meadows. La construction a officiellement débutée en juin 2006 et sa mise en service a eu lieu le 14 juin 2009 pour les piétons et le 26 juin pour les véhicules routiers. Le pont a entrainé la création de 14 kilomètres de nouvelles voies routières. Le projet a été conduit par TransLink (officiellement South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority) l'organisation responsable des transports dans la région de Vancouver notamment les transports publics (ferrys SeaBus, SkyTrain...) et les principaux ouvrages d'art (routes, ponts...). Un symbole a été attribué au pont, il s'agit de l'aigle. Ce symbole est utilisé comme logo du projet et il est également présent aux entrées du pont qui sont décorées de plusieurs statues métalliques différentes représentant des aigles aux ailes déployées. Nom du pont Golden Ears (littéralement : « oreilles d'or ») est le nom d'une chaîne de montagne de la Colombie-Britannique (ainsi que du parc provincial qui la recouvre). Ce massif montagneux s'appelait originellement Golden Eyries ou Golden Aeries, toponymes se rapportant en fait à l'aire (c'est-à-dire le nid) de l'aigle royal (Golden Eagle).

Rocko's Diner

Rocko's Diner is a diner located in Mission, British Columbia, best known for its forty flavours of milkshakes and its use as a filming location for several televisions shows. The diner was the first drive-in and first 24-hour restaurant in Mission. In 2017, USA Today named the diner one of Canada's top ten filming locations. History On July 11, 1956, under ownership of Nick Nicholson, the diner opened as Nick's Diner and then was named Hi-Lite Burger Bar. It was Mission's first highway drive-in. To celebrate the opening, Nicholson hosted an open-air dance on the driveway of the restaurant. The Schiller family acquired the Hi-Lite Burger Bar in the early 1980s and renamed it Rocko's Diner in 1986. In popular culture Because the Schiller family owns both the land and the diner, the restaurant is an attractive filming location for production companies. Rocko's Diner has been a filming location for several films and television shows, including various Hallmark movies, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Killer Among Us, and Horns. The diner is the site for the pilot scenes of Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe in Riverdale. The set used for later scenes in the series was modeled after Rocko's. After the Riverdale scenes were filmed at the diner, fans of the show began visiting the diner. Rocko's named milkshakes after the characters of Archie, Veronica, and Betty, and created a burger called the Jughead Burger. Following Luke Perry's death, the diner created a milkshake to honour him and his acting career. References
Stzʼuminus First Nation

Stzʼuminus First Nation (in Halkomelem, shcʼumʼínus or šc̕əmínəs; formerly known as the Chemainus Indian Band and Chemainus First Nation) is a First Nations government located in southeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, near the town of Ladysmith, British Columbia. Stzʼuminus First Nation is a member government of the Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council. In early 2009, chief and council unanimously passed a band council resolution to officially change the name from Chemainus to Stzʼuminus in order to reflect its original Hul'qumi'num language name. "Salish Sea" In March 2008, Stzʼuminus First Nation representative George Harris proposed renaming the nearby Strait of Georgia as the Salish Sea, an idea that reportedly met with approval by B.C.'s Aboriginal Relations Minister Mike de Jong, who pledged to put it before the B.C. cabinet for discussion. Renaming would require a formal application to the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The name was formally adopted as of the Throne Speech opening the BC Legislature on February 9, 2010. The Salish Sea name has been used by the Coast Salish Gathering, a trans-boundary organization of Coast Salish leaders, since 2007. Stzʼuminus First Nation's largest Indian reserve, Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13, is located on Stuart Channel, which is one of the countless smaller waterways within the Salish Sea as defined. The Salish Sea name was originally proposed by Bert Webber from Bellingham, Washington in March, 1989, for the Strait of Georgia, Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca and all adjoining waters.

Prima nazione Stz'uminus

La Prima Nazione Stz'uminus (precedentemente nota come Banda Indiana Chemainus e Prima Nazione Chemainus) è un organo di governo appartenente alle Prime Nazioni situato nella parte sud-orientale dell'Isola di Vancouver, in Columbia Britannica, Canada, nei pressi della città di Ladysmith. La Prima Nazione Stz'uminus è un organo di governo membro del Consiglio tribale Naut'sa mawt. All'inizio del 2009, il capo e il consiglio approvarono all'unanimità una risoluzione del consiglio di banda per cambiare ufficialmente il nome da Chemainus a Stz'uminus, per attenersi al suo nome in lingua originale Hul'qumi'num. "Salish Sea" Nel marzo 2008, il rappresentante George Harris della Prima Nazione Stz'uminus propose di rinominare il vicino Stretto di Georgia come Salish Sea, un'idea che secondo quanto riferito avrebbe incontrato l'approvazione del Ministro delle Relazioni Aborigene della Columbia Britannica Mike de Jong, che si impegnò a portare la proposta al Consiglio Esecutivo della Columbia Britannica per la discussione. La rinomina richiedeva un intervento formale del Geographical Names Board of Canada. Il nome è stato adottato formalmente a partire dal Discorso della Corona che ha aperto la legislatura della Columbia Britannica il 9 febbraio 2010. Il nome Salish Sea è stato utilizzato nel Coast Salish Gathering, un'organizzazione transfrontaliera di capi di Salish della costa, dal 2007. La Riserva Indiana più grande della Prima Nazione Stz'uminus, cioè la Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13, è situata sullo Stuart Channel, che è uno degli innumerevoli corsi d'acqua minori all'interno del Salish Sea così come definito. Il nome Salish Sea name fu proposto in origine da Bert Webber da Bellingham, Washington nel marzo del 1989, per lo Stretto di Georgia, lo Stretto di Puget, lo Stretto di Juan de Fuca e tutte le acque adiacenti.

Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park

Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Covering 92.58 km2, the park is located 150 km east of Vancouver in the Chilliwack River Valley. History A trail was first cut to the Chilliwack River in 1855 by the Hudson's Bay Company. This trail was an improvement to the “Indian Trail”, an ancient trail that joined nine Indigenous villages between Vedder Crossing and Chilliwack Lake. In the early part of the 20th century, logging began in the valley. By the 1920s the logging industry here had grown considerably. A railroad logging was set up. The railroad was destroyed by a huge fire in 1938. Subsequently, the railroad logging was stopped and supplanted by truck logging. In 1942 an army base was set up in Chilliwack and rifle ranges established on the road to Chilliwack Lake. . Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park gets its name from the Chilliwack Lake, a valley-bottom lake. The valley is a U-shaped glacial valley. The topography of the park is a picturesque blend of old-growth forested slopes and sub-alpine and alpine ridges. The park was first established in 1973 comprising 384 hectares. It was expanded in 1974 and again in 1997, now comprising approximately 9,258 hectares. The name of the park was changed to "Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Park" in 2021. Sx̱ótsaqel means "sacred lake" in Halkomelem and the area is the ancestral homeland of the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe. Facilities and features A total of 40 kilometers of trails offer hiking, bird watching and wildlife viewing opportunities for visitors. There are also plenty of activities that can be done without getting into the water. There is a large playground in the park. The park has a total of 146 frontcountry campsites. There are backcountry camps in Greendrop, Lindeman, Flora, and Radium Lakes. Chilliwack Lake is suitable for boating, canoeing, swimming and fishing. The park also features several trails, including a trail to Lindeman Lake (1.5 km), Greendrop Lake (5.5 km), Flora Lake (7 km) and Radium Lake (6.5 km). All the hikes at the North end of the Park are considered strenuous mountain trails. As of 2013, the park recommends avoiding Hanging Lake as the trail is unmaintained and there are no safe river crossings across the Chilliwack River. Flora Lake Flora Lake is one of several small lakes within the boundaries of Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park. The only access to Flora Lake is by a steep, rough and overgrown trail through slides, creeks, washouts and alpine meadows. Only experienced and well equipped hikers with path finding experience should attempt this trail. It is strongly recommended that one be prepared to spend the night, as the trip up can take several hours in both directions.
