Oppenheimer Park

Oppenheimer Park is a park located in the historic Japantown (Paueru-Gai) in the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. History The park was opened in 1902 as the Powell Street Grounds by Vancouver's second mayor, David Oppenheimer, whom it was later renamed in honour of. The park is bounded by Jackson and Dunlevy Avenues, and Powell and East Cordova Streets. The park's facilities include a softball field, a basketball hoop, a children's playground, and a community centre with bathrooms, meeting space, and public computer access. The park employs two full-time activity coordinators and several part-time staff. Historically, the park is most notable as being the site of one of the large demonstrations of striking workers during the events of Bloody Sunday in 1938. The Asahi baseball team used the park as its home field prior to World War II. The park remained a popular middle-class family destination until the late 1980s, when crack cocaine trade and abuse began to dominate the park's usage. Since 2004, initiatives by the Vancouver Police and the Strathcona Business Improvement Association have attempted to return the park to its original image of safe recreation, with some success. The park was upgraded in 2010 with reconfiguration of the pathways and additions of a playground, a basketball hoop and a new field house. Protests and occupations First Nations protest, 2014 In July 2014, members of the First Nations community occupied Oppenheimer Park by creating a makeshift tent city, in protest of the city of Vancouver's attempt to evict homeless people that had been living in the park. Protesters cited the fact that Vancouver, including its parkland, is unceded First Nations' land and the B.C. Supreme Court decision in 2009, which stated that homeless persons are allowed to camp in a public park if no alternative shelters are available. The protesters and campers were given deadline to vacate the park on October 15, 2014 after injunction was granted to the Vancouver Park Board to evict the protesters from the site. Over 100 tents remained at the park after the deadline, but the protesters and campers were removed from park and five people were arrested on October 16, 2014 for resisting to vacate the park. Homeless encampment, 2020 During the late 2010s, it was the site of a large homeless encampment. The encampment was dismantled on May 9, 2020, and the park has since been fenced off, after a ministerial order was issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Vancouver Park Board initially planned for phased re-opening of the park, but has decided to close the park indefinitely due to repeated break-ins and vandalism to its park building. As of summer 2021, the park is beginning to re-open in phases.

Arthur Laing Bridge

Die Arthur Laing Bridge ist eine vierspurige Brücke in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Sie überbrückt den Fraser River und verbindet Vancouver mit der Insel Sea Island in der Gemeinde Richmond, auf der sich der Vancouver International Airport befindet. Die heute bestehende Brücke befindet sich an derselben Stelle wie ihr Vorgänger, die Marpole Bridge, ist aber höher und länger. Die Marpole Bridge wurde 1889 gebaut und zwölf Jahre später durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Nach der Eröffnung der weiter östlich gelegenen Oak Street Bridge, die direkt zur Hauptinsel Richmonds – Lulu Island – führt, wurde die Marpole Bridge abgerissen. Der Flughafen konnte nur noch mit einem Umweg erreicht werden. Mit dem Wachstum des Flughafens nahm die Verkehrsbelastung auf der Oak Street Bridge stark zu, was den Bau einer neuen Brücke erforderlich machte. Am 6. September 1974 gab Premierminister Pierre Trudeau bekannt, dass die neue Brücke nach dem Parlamentsabgeordneten Arthur Laing aus Vancouver benannt werden würde. Die Brücke wurde im August 1975 für den Verkehr freigegeben, die offizielle Eröffnung erfolgte jedoch erst am 15. Mai 1976. Weblinks Brücken in Greater Vancouver Arthur Laing Bridge. In: Structurae
Otter Lake Provincial Park

Der Otter Lake Provincial Park (auch Otter Lake Park) ist ein zweiteiliger etwa 55 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park im südlichen Zentrum der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, im Norden der unselbständigen Gemeinde Tulameen. Anlage Der Park liegt etwa 27 Kilometer nordnordwestlich von Princeton im Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen am Übergang zwischen den westlich gelegenen Ausläufern der nördlichen Kaskadenkette und dem östlich gelegenen Thompson-Plateau. Zentrum des Parks ist der Otter Lake (Tulameen). Der kleinere Teil des Parks mit dem Picknickbereich liegt am Südende des Sees, bzw. am nördlichen Rand der unselbständigen Gemeinde Tulameen unweit des Ausflusses des Otter Creek aus dem See. Der deutlich größte Teil des Parks mit einem Campinggelände liegt mehrere Kilometer entfernt auf einer Halbinsel am nordwestlichen Ufer des Sees. Dieser Parkteil zieht sich vom Seeufer nach Westen bis an den Fuß des 1516 m hohen Boulder Mountain. Auch der „Kettle Valley Rail Trail“, ein Abschnitt des insgesamt etwa 18.000 Kilometer langen Trans Canada Trails, durchquert den Park. Geschichte Der Park wurde am 11. Juli 1963 als einer der Provincial Parks in British Columbia eingerichtet. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden dabei sowohl seine Größe wie auch sein Schutzstatus geändert. Grundlage der Einrichtung des Parks war eine Landschenkung der Familie Downing, die dann auch Namensgeber des Parks wurden. 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 Gruppen der First Nations, hier hauptsächlich der Binnen-Salish, war. Kulturelle Spuren dieser wurden im Park jedoch bisher nicht nachgewiesen. 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 Interior Douglas-fir Zone zugeordnet. Weblinks Otter Lake Park In: Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB, englisch) Otter Lake Park.

Otter Lake Provincial Park

Otter Lake Park is on Otter Lake in the Similkameen region of south central British Columbia, Canada. This provincial park comprises the main site on the west shore at the northern end of the lake and a small site at Tulameen on the southern shore. On Coalmont Rd, the main site is by road about 79 kilometres (49 mi) south of Merritt and 32 kilometres (20 mi) northwest of Princeton. Access The smaller picnic and day-use area is at Tulameen and the lakeside campground is at the main site about 5 kilometres (3 mi) farther north along the road. The operating season is mid-May to late September. A locked gate blocks vehicle access during the off season, but foot entry is available year round. Legislation In July 1963, the two-location park was created, but the total size was not specified. The following references to the park area are either incomplete or significant approximations. The 1977 bill to enlarge the park to about 49 hectares (121 acres) was enacted the next year. In 2003, the size was noted as 53 hectares (131 acres). In 2010, 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) were deleted to remove an existing road corridor, which would result in the often quoted 51 hectares (126 acres). In 2018, a proposed 6-hectare (15-acre) foreshore addition was announced. The present size is described as being approximately 55 hectares (136 acres). Park facilities The campground site has 45 campsites, four pit toilets, four flush toilets, and four cold water taps. The boat launch has been closed but the Tulameen community one is operative. The Tulameen site has six picnic tables, two pit toilets, and a hand pump for well water. Recreational activities A nature trail exists along the foreshore but hiking the rugged terrain outside the main site requires caution. Across the lake, the former railway right-of-way has been converted to the Kettle Valley Rail Trail segment of the Trans Canada Trail, which runs along the eastern shore. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and waterskiing are popular on the lake. Although a small beach at the campground is suitable for swimming, the day-use area in Tulameen is preferable. References

Owikeno Lake

Der Owikeno Lake ist ein See im Westen der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der See wurde nach der dort ansässigen Wuikinuxv Nation (Owikeno) benannt. Lage Der Owikeno Lake ist ein gletschergeformter Fjordsee an der zentralen Westküste von British Columbia. Er liegt auf einer Höhe von 15 m in den Coast Mountains. Der 56 km lange See wird aus einer Kette von vier Teilseen, die durch Engstellen voneinander getrennt sind, gebildet. Die Gesamtwasserfläche beträgt 94,5 km². Der unterste Teilsee (Becken 4) ist der größte. Er ist 33 km lang, hat eine Fläche von 68 km² und eine maximale Wassertiefe von 370 m. Der sich anschließende Teilsee (Becken 3) ist 18,9 km² groß. Die beiden oberen Teilseen (Becken 1 und 2) machen lediglich 8 Prozent der Gesamtwasserfläche aus. In den Owikeno Lake münden mehrere gletschergespeiste Zuflüsse. In den obersten Teilsee (Becken 1) münden die beiden Flüsse Inziana River und Tzeo River. In Becken 3 mündet der Sheemahant River. Einen größeren Zufluss des untersten Teilsees (Becken 4) bildet der Machmell River. Der Owikeno Lake wird am westlichen Ende von Becken 4 vom 6 km langen Wannock River zum Rivers Inlet, einem Fjord, entwässert. Am Ausfluss des Sees beträgt der mittlere Abfluss 321 m³/s. Die nächstgelegene Siedlung ist Oweekeno am Nordufer des Wannock River. Der See befindet sich in der biogeoklimatischen Zone der Westamerikanischen Hemlocktanne. Das Gewässer gilt als oligotroph. Im See kommen neben anderen Fischarten der Rotlachs (Oncorhynchus nerka) und der Dreistachlige Stichling (Gasterosteus aculeatus) vor. Weblinks Owikeno Lake. In: BC Geographical Names (englisch).

Owikeno Lake

Wuikinuxv Lake, also Owekeeno Lake, Owekano Lake, Oweekayno Lake and other spellings (pron. "o we KEE no"), is a large fjord lake in the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada. It connects to the head of Rivers Inlet by the short Wannock River (Wanukv). The lake's name comes from the indigenous people of the region, the Wuikinuxv, whose settlements and territory lie around the lake. Their largest and principal settlement was on an island in the lower reaches of the lake named Katit. Owikeno Lake is fed by several large rivers, the Tzeo (Ciu), Inziana, Machmell, Sheemahant Rivers. Feeding the Machmell is the Neechantz River, joining the Machmell just above its mouth into the lake. The Washwash River similarly joins the Tzeo just above that river's estuary into the lake.

PNE Agrodome

The PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) Agrodome is a sports arena located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was built in 1963 and holds 5,000 people or 3,260 when configured to use the hockey or lacrosse surface. It hosted the British Columbia AAA Boys Basketball Championship annually until 2010, after which the tournament moved to the Langley Events Centre. It was used as a professional wrestling venue by NWA All-Star Wrestling for bigger events in the 1960s and 1970s, and more recently by WWE for smaller events. It served as the home field for the Vancouver Whitecaps for the 1981–82 NASL indoor soccer season, when the Pacific Coliseum became unavailable. It was host to the Vancouver VooDoo roller hockey franchise from 1993–94. It was home to the Vancouver Burrards Western Lacrosse Association team from 1990–93. The team moved to the North Surrey Recreation Centre for the 1994 season. The venue played the role of the Soviet arena in the climactic fight between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago in the movie Rocky IV. It also portrayed Olympic Center in Lake Placid, New York, for the film Miracle. It has also appeared in films such as Slap Shot 2 and Deadpool and in episodes of MacGyver, Booker, and Highlander. It was also disguised as a roller rink for the opening scene in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, due to the lack of a roller rink in Greater Vancouver. Most recently it served as an ice arena in The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (2021), a reboot of the 1990's The Mighty Ducks movie franchise. The Agrodome hosted concerts by some of the world's biggest rock acts on their early tours. Some of these acts include The Rolling Stones (1965), Bob Dylan (1966), The Who (1967), Led Zeppelin (twice in 1969), Vanilla Fudge (1969), The Mothers of Invention (1969), Ike & Tina Turner (1970), Pink Floyd (1970), Deep Purple (1972) and Wishbone Ash (1975).

Pachena Point Light

Pachena Point Lighthouse is located on Vancouver Island, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south of Bamfield, British Columbia, in Pacific Rim National Park. The octagonal wooden tower is maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard who employ lighthouse keepers at the station. In Summer of 2024, it was announced that Pachena Point Light (along with nearby Carmanah Point Light) would be destaffed before the end of the year. On October 26 of the same year, the lightkeepers departed the station, leaving it unstaffed. This change was not well received and was met with heavy criticism. Keepers John S.
