Rosewall Creek Provincial Park

Der Rosewall Creek Provincial Park (oder auch nur Rosewall Creek Park) ist ein mehrteiliger Provincial Park im Südwesten der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der nur etwa 54 Hektar (ha) große Park liegt an der zentralen Ostküste von Vancouver Island, im Süden des Comox Valley Regional District. Anlage Der Park liegt etwa auf halber Strecke zwischen Courtenay im Nordwesten und Qualicum Beach im Südosten. Die beiden diese Städte verbindenden Highways, der Highway 19 und der Highway 19A, durchqueren dabei den Park in Nord-Süd-Richtung. Ebenso wird er von einer Eisenbahnstrecke der Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway durchquert. Zentraler Bestandteil des Parks ist der namensgebende Rosewall Creek. Der Bach kommt von Westen und fließt bis zu den Highways in Richtung Osten, dort ändert er seine Richtung und fließt dann in Richtung Norden. Wenige Kilometer nachdem er den Park verlassen hat mündet er in die Mud Bay, eine Bucht am Baynes Sound zwischen Vancouver Island und dem östlich gelegenen Denman Island. Bei dem Provinzpark handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Geschichte Der Park wurde am 14. Mai 1956 als einer der Provincial Parks in British Columbia eingerichtet. Es wurde im Laufe seines Bestehens mehrmals seine Größe und/oder die Rechtsgrundlage für seinen Schutz geändert. Zuletzt wurde im Jahr 2000 seine Grenzziehung geändert. Wie jedoch grundsätzlich bei 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, Jagd- und Siedlungsgebiet verschiedener Gruppen der First Nations war, in diesem Falle der Qualicum. 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. Der Rosewall Creek ist ein Laichfluss für Silberlachse. Aktivitäten Der Park verfügt, außer einem Picknickbereich, über keine touristische Infrastruktur. Auf Initiative einer lokalen Gruppe wird an einem der Picknickbereiche des Parks mit einer Gedenktafel an Ian Philip McDonald erinnert. Der in der Gegend aufgewachsene junge Mann hatte sich im Zweiten Weltkrieg freiwillig zu den kanadischen Streitkräften gemeldet und war dann im Rahmen der Alliierten Invasion in der Normandie gefallen.

Rosewall Creek Provincial Park

Rosewall Creek Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located northwest of the community of Bowser. The park is situated along picturesque Rosewall Creek, south of Fanny Bay on central Vancouver Island. The park features a mixture of coniferous trees interspersed with striking broad leaf maple trees. One of the best times to visit this park is in the fall when the color of the maple leaves makes an attractive backdrop for photographers. Facilities This small day-use only park incorporates the Lieutenant Ian Philip MacDonald Picnic Area (managed by BC Parks), honouring a soldier from nearby Fanny Bay who was killed in WWII's Normandy Invasion (see photo for details). Two picnic areas on either side of the creek are connected by a short riverside trail; one overlooks the creek and the other is situated at its edge. Access The area is served by the coast-spanning Island Highway, and the Island Rail Corridor. Gallery References External links Media related to Rosewall Creek Provincial Park at Wikimedia Commons

Over the years, the Valley Royals have hosted many prestigious events at Jane & Gerry Swan Track at Rotary Stadium (see Valley Royals Track & Field Club). For the past few years, the stadium and neighbouring fields have been used for BC Lions training camp activities. Rotary Stadium is part of Abbotsford Exhibition Park, a 75-acre (300,000 m2) park located in the heart of Abbotsford. The area was initially a large sand and rock quarry which was later reclaimed and restored as a public park. The park will be undergoing a revitalization project based on the Exhibition Park Master Plan.

Royal Jubilee Hospital

Overview Its name commemorates the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. Founded in 1890, Royal Jubilee was Victoria's main hospital until 1983, when an expanded Victoria General Hospital re-opened in the suburban municipality of View Royal. Royal Jubilee offers critical-care, surgery, diagnostics, emergency facilities and other patient programs. It has a particular focus on cardiac medicine. In 2007, the British Columbia government announced that it would expand and renovate the hospital, increasing the number of beds to 500 and replacing many buildings. The new 500-bed patient care centre (PCC) was opened to the public in early 2011. Begbie Hall Begbie Hall, a three-storey former nurses' residence at the hospital, was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1989 to commemorate the growing professionalism of nursing in the early 20th century and the contribution of nurses to health care in Canada. Today, Begbie Hall is used for administrative offices, and contains the Woodward Theatre for meetings. The Woodward Theatre was apparently the original cafeteria for the resident nurses. The Island Health Board of Directors removed the name Begbie from the building in 2021. Pemberton Memorial Operating Room The octagonal Pemberton Memorial Operating Room, completed in 1896, was designated a National Historic Site in 2005. It is an octagonal brick operating room; a rare surviving example of a late 19th-century surgical facility from the period when hospitals were transitioning from primarily charitable to scientific institutions.
