Hotel Europe (Vancouver)

Hotel Europe is a six-storey heritage building located at 43 Powell Street (at Alexander) in the Gastown area of Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was commissioned by hotelier Angelo Calori and built in 1908-1909 by Parr and Fee Architects. Situated on a triangular lot, the building is designed in the flatiron style. It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada. Contractors had to be brought in from Cincinnati, Ohio for the necessary expertise; the Ferro-Concrete Construction Company began this project six years after constructing the first tall concrete building in the world. With funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the building was renovated in 1983 as affordable housing with A. Ingre and Associates as the project designers. The residential units are now managed by the Affordable Housing Society. A beer parlour formerly existed below the ground floor, which included areaways extending underneath the above sidewalks. To prevent a cave-in from the weight of pedestrians and above ground traffic, the City of Vancouver filled the areaway in with pea gravel at a cost of $215,000, which presumably can be easily removed in the event of future restoration. In popular culture The Hotel Europe was one of the filming locations for the suspense movie The Changeling. In it, the building houses the Seattle Historical Society, but the hotel sign can be seen on the right side facade of the building in some takes. Some scenes are set on its roof terrace. Hotel Europe was also a filming location in the 1994 epic drama film Legends of the Fall. It is also one of the locations for the music video Likey from the Korean female group Twice. It also appeared in the 1984 film The NeverEnding Story, as well as its 1990 sequel The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter. The exterior is also briefly shown in the 2007 family comedy film Are We Done Yet?, as Ice Cube carries out a cardboard standee of Magic Johnson. It is also briefly seen in the 2019 made-for-tv thriller, The Past Never Dies. References Gallery
Hotel Europe

El Hotel Europe es un edificio histórico de seis plantas ubicado en 43 Powell Street, en el área Gastown de Vancouver, (Columbia Británica). El edificio fue encargado por el empresario hotelero Angelo Calori y construido entre 1908 y 1909 por el estudio arquitectónico Parr and Fee. Construido en un solar triangular, el diseño del edificio está inspirado en el del edificio Flatiron. Fue la primera estructura de hormigón armado construida en Canadá y el hotel más antiguo a prueba de fuego en el Oeste de Canadá. Tuvieron que ser traídos contratistas de Cincinnati, Ohio, ya que tenían la experiencia necesaria. La compañía de construcción Ferro-Concrete comenzó este proyecto seis años después de la construcción del primer edificio de hormigón más alto del mundo. Con la financiación de la Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, el edificio fue renovado en 1983 para ser convertido en un edificio de viviendas con A. Ingre and Associates como diseñadores del proyecto. Las viviendas residenciales están gestionadas ahora por the Affordable Housing Society.​ Antiguamente existía una cervecería debajo de la planta baja con dos escaleras subterráneas que se extendían por debajo de las aceras. Para evitar el derrumbe de las escaleras por el peso de los peatones y por el tráfico que circulaba por la calle, la ciudad de Vancouver tapó las escaleras con gravilla con un coste de 215.000 dólares, que presumiblemente se puede quitar en caso de una futura restauración.​ El Hotel Europe fue uno de los lugares de rodaje de la película de terror, Al final de la escalera. En él, el edificio alberga la sociedad histórica de Seattle, pero el cartel del hotel se puede ver en la fachada lateral derecha del edificio en alguna toma. Algunas escenas fueron realizadas en la terraza de la azotea. Referencias

Summerland Research and Development Centre

The Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (previously known as the Dominion Experimental Farm at Summerland and Summerland Research Station) is an agricultural research centre in British Columbia, Canada. The centre has been historically important in the development of tree fruits. It is administered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and includes sites at Summerland and Agassiz. History The centre was founded in 1914 as the Dominion Experimental Farm at Summerland. It was renamed as the Summerland Research Station in 1959 after the addition of plant pathology and entomology laboratories, and later combined with a nearby experimental farm (at Agassiz, British Columbia) to form the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in 1996. The centre was originally founded to research the suitability of different plant and animal species to local growing conditions, but later branched into plant pathology as well. Early in its history, the centre also had an ornamental horticulture department, beginning with a garden laid out in 1916 that grew into a 6-hectare English landscape garden. As the centre's priority shifted to tree fruits, this program was phased out, and in 1991 care of the ornamental gardens was taken over by a local garden society. Notable research The Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre has been particularly important in the development of tree fruit varieties; it is estimated that approximately 75–80% of cherries eaten worldwide are from varieties developed there. The technology and processes to manufacture commercial fruit leather were also developed at the centre. Some notable fruit varieties developed at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre include: The centre also holds the Canadian Plant Virus Collection, which includes specimens of many plant viruses, some freeze-dried and others maintained alive in perennial plants. The collection, one of the largest of its kind in the world, includes more than 350 isolated strains of 160 viruses, which are available for use as reference material in the event of viral outbreaks. Registered historical site The former superintendent's residence at the centre is a listed site at the Canadian Register of Historic Places since 1990. Constructed between 1923 and 1926, the house is set within a private garden within the research station, and is the oldest surviving structure at the site. Initially built to house the station superintendent, it has not been used for that purpose since 1969, instead being used for an administration building, library, and museum.

Iskut River Hot Springs Provincial Park

Der Iskut River Hot Springs Provincial Park ist ein nur rund 6 Hektar großer Provincial Park im Nordwesten der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, in der Nähe der Grenze zum US-Bundesstaat Alaska. 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 zahlreiche weitere Parks, wie der Mount Edziza Provincial Park, der Ningunsaw Provincial Park, der Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park oder der Todagin South Slope Provincial Park. Anlage Der Park umfasst eine Gruppe von sehr heißen Quellen am westlichen Ufer des Iskut River im Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, unweit des Highway 37 (dem Stewart-Cassiar Highway ) und ist umgeben von den Bergen der Boundary Ranges. Er liegt etwa 6 km östlich des Highways, hat jedoch keine Anbindung an den Highway oder eine andere Straße. Etwa 220 km südlich des Parks befindet sich Stewart bzw. 190 km nördlich Dease Lake. Bei dem Park, der am 25. Januar 2001 zusammen mit 14 weiteren Parks eingerichtet wurde, handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie III (Naturdenkmal). Wie bei allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass er lange bevor die Gegend von europäischen Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde Jagd-, Siedlungs- und Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations, hier der Tahltan, war. Archäologische Funde wurde bisher jedoch nicht gemacht. Tourismus Der Park verfügt über keinerlei touristische Infrastruktur oder besondere Attraktionen. Da sich um die sehr heißen Quellen keine Pools bilden, sind diese auch nicht zum Baden geeignet. Weblinks Iskut River Hot Springs Provincial Park. In: BC Geographical Names (englisch).

J. W. Sexsmith Elementary School

J.W. Sexsmith Community Elementary is a public elementary school in Vancouver, British Columbia part of School District 39 Vancouver. History John Wesley Sexsmith was born in Richmond, County of Lennox, Ontario on May 10, 1830, to parents who were both members of United Empire Loyalist families. Educated in the common schools of Ontario, Sexsmith entered the lumber business and also tried his hand as a general merchant and established a cheese factory. Sexsmith soon encountered financial hardships and decided to try out his fortune in the West. Mr. Sexsmith's westward journey eventually brought him to a plot of land on what was then known as Lulu Island. Drawing from his experience back in Ontario, Sexsmith established a cheese factory and soon grew so successful that he extended his land holdings to some 1,900 acres (7.7 km2) on Lulu Island as well as several hundred acres in modern-day Pitt Meadows. To overcome transportation difficulties, Sexsmith established a boat service on the North Fraser River to New Westminster. As the population of the area gradually increased, Sexsmith became active in the organization of the district into the Municipality of Richmond and served as its Reeve. For a number of years, Sexsmith was largely responsible for the building of bridges to join Marpole, Sea Island and Lulu Island. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sexsmith was actively involved in teaching. Mrs. Sexsmith, one of the first teachers in the area with professional qualifications, taught at a school in Gastown provided by the Moodyville Lumber Company. Mr. Sexsmith established a Ryerson System school to provide education for the surrounding families. The school was one of the first of the strictly rural schools established on the mainland of British Columbia. In February 2016, the original J.W. Sexsmith School was torn down. On October 13, 2013 the new building was officially opened at the back of the schoolground. A new road was put in that connects Columbia St. The new address for the school is J.W. Sexsmith School, 7410 Columbia St, Vancouver, BC V5X Every other year, Sexsmith Elementary puts on a play put on by the students of Sexsmith in grades 6 and 7 and organized and directed by two teachers of the school. In the past, these plays have been, The Wizard of Oz, The Lion King, Aladdin and more. 3C1 The building resides on the lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh, Coast Salish people.

ГЕС Саут-Слокан

ГЕС South Slocan — гідроелектростанція на південному заході Канади у провінції Британська Колумбія. Знаходячись між ГЕС Ловер-Боннінгтон (вище за течією) та ГЕС Брілліант, входить до складу каскаду на річці Кутеней, лівій притоці Колумбії (має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон). При спорудженні станції річку перекрили бетонною гравітаційною греблею складної конфігурації висотою 18 метрів та загальною довжиною трьох частин 677 метрів. Вона перекрила дві протоки Кутеней перед порожистою ділянкою та забезпечила регулювання рівня у верхньому б'єфі між позначками 469,4 та 475,5 метра НРМ. У правій протоці розташований інтегрований у греблю машинний зал, де встановили три турбіни типу Каплан потужністю по 18 МВт, які використовують напір у 21 метр. Можливо відзначити, що у 1970-х роках неподалік від станції South Slocan з'явився машинний зал ГЕС Кутеней-Канал, обрана для якої дериваційна схема продублювала одразу чотири споруджені раніше ГЕС каскаду.
