Plumper Cove Marine Provincial Park

Plumper Cove Marine Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. The park is located on the northwest shore of Keats Island in Howe Sound, northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia. The 66 ha (160 acres) park is one of the oldest marine parks on the BC coast, and a popular anchorage spot in the summer months for boaters. It has a hiking trail system, a grassy upland picnic area, and forested walk-in campsites. The park is known for its quiet and natural surroundings. Unlike many other provincial campgrounds with vehicle access, local traffic in the park area is limited. Trails The trail system consists of the 'Keats Loop', which ascends to a bluff offering a lookout point. Additionally, there is a 2 km (1.2 mi) trail that leads to Keats' Landing. The final segment of this trail can be traveled by either a dirt road or a trail. This 2 km (1.2 mi) trail is considered of intermediate difficulty. The trail features an approximately 1 km (0.62 mi) ascent and a 1 km (0.62 mi) descent in either direction. Near the middle of the trail, it reaches its peak close to the lookout. Access Public access to the park is limited to marine routes or hiking. Travelers can take BC Ferries from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then board the Stornaway II, which makes infrequent trips to Keats Island and Gambier Island. From Keats Landing, visitors must hike approximately 2 km (1.2 mi) to reach the campground. The trail from Keats Landing to Plumper Cove Marine Park is unsuitable for bicycles, and most trails on the island are similarly challenging. Alternatively, boat visitors can navigate to the park and pay moorage fees at the park dock. Several water taxi services operate from Gibsons to Plumper Cove Marine Park, though these services do not run regularly and may require a charter. Recreation From September 24 to May 15, the park does not charge camping fees but has limited services available. Normally, during peak summer months, the camping fee is $16 per night per party for four persons. There are group campsites available which are double sites for larger parties. Group picnicking services are available by private reservation only. Moorage at a buoy costs $12 per night, and moorage at the dock costs $2.00 per meter per night. Docking and moorage fees only apply after 6 pm. During the winter months, most services are free of charge. Garbage service is limited and visitors should plan to pack out anything they may bring. The park has potable water available from a hand pump only from May 15 to September 15 and the pit toilets are open year-round. Due to storm damage in the winter of 2006, the dock at the Park was destroyed and replaced in 2007. External links "Plumper Cove Marine Park". BC Geographical Names.

Poplar Island (British Columbia)

Poplar Island is an uninhabited island located at the east end of the northern arm of the Fraser River in the City of New Westminster, British Columbia. It is the last large undiked island in the Fraser River's North Arm. History In 1879, the federal government allocated four reserves to people from "All Coastal Tribes", and designated the "common reserve" as the New Westminster Indian Band, which included 27 acres (110,000 m2) on Poplar Island. The reserve on Poplar Island was used as an Aboriginal smallpox victim quarantine area and a cemetery. Informants from the New Westminster Indian Band identified the reserve as a site of burials for people from the Kwantlen First Nation. For decades, the Poplar Island reserve was designated as belonging to "all coast tribes". During World War I the New Westminster Construction and Engineering Company built both a massive shipyard on the island and a bridge connecting it to New Westminster. During the war years, hundreds of workers built, among other things, four warships for the government of France. Cargo vessels built in the shipyard include the War Kitimat, War Comox, War Edensaw, and the War Ewen. Ship launching ways are still visible on the island’s upriver end. The B.C. government included the island in its "nature legacy" program in 1995, and it was to be held by the Metro Vancouver's park department as a strictly protected nature reserve, in perpetuity.

Île Poplar

L'île Poplar est une île de Colombie-Britannique située dans le bras nord du fleuve Fraser. Géographie Appartenant à New Westminster, elle est la dernière grande île non endiguée du fleuve Fraser. Histoire Une partie de l'île devient en 1879 une réserve indienne Qayqayt (en), mais une épidémie de variole décime la population locale. Seules ne survivent qu'une centaine de personnes. Lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, l'île est occupée par une entreprise de construction navale et un pont la reliant à New Westminster est construit. En 1936, il ne reste sur l'île qu'un garde de pêche avec sa famille. La ville de New Westminster achète l'île en 1945 et la revend immédiatement à une entreprise d'exploitation forestière. En 1995, elle devient une réserve naturelle, rattachée au territoire des Qayqayt. Notes et références Liens externes Vue satellite Portail des îles Portail de la Colombie-Britannique

Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park

Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park is a 2,704 hectare provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located north of Tranquille Lake to the northwest of Kamloops. Its name is a direct translation of the Shuswap word for this area, "pisitsoolsia", named so for the numerous porcupine in the area. Region The park is on the southern end of the Bonaparte Plateau. It contains extensive sub-alpine wetlands, meadows and old growth forests. It is the highest elevation between Kamloops and 100 Mile House on the west side of the North Thompson River. History The park was established on April 30, 1996. The area was previously a pack-trail connecting Pass Lake and Porcupine Ridge, though the area is now unsettled. Wildlife Wildlife in the area includes many bird species including sandhill cranes, as well as moose and mule deer. Recreational access and facilities Park access is from the southeast off Watching Creek Forest Service Road. There is no motorized access through the park itself, other than snowmobile access in the winter. Passing through the park is the Masters Sub-alpine Trek hiking trail, which is currently in a state of disrepair due to surrounding logging. The park can also be accessed by snowshoe and via horseback on designated trails. The park is considered a wilderness area with limited patrols. There are no formal facilities within the park. An old forestry lookout is present and can serve as an emergency lookout. References External links "Porcupine Meadows Park". BC Geographical Names. Government of British Columbia – B.C.

Port Clements

Port Clements ist ein Dorf auf Graham Island, das zu Haida Gwaii gehört, im Nordwesten der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Die Gemeinde gehört zum North Coast Regional District und liegt wenige Kilometer westlich des Naikoon Provincial Park. Lage Das Dorf liegt am südöstlichen Ende das Masset Inlet, nördlich der Einmündung des Yakoun River. Die Gemeinde wird in Nord-Süd-Richtung durch den Highway 16, welcher hier die nördliche Route des Trans-Canada Highway darstellt, passiert. Das Dorf liegt etwa 60 km nördlich von Skidegate, bzw. etwa 40 km südlich von Masset. Geschichte Lange bevor diese Gegend von europäischstämmigen Einwanderern und Holzfällern besiedelt wurde, war sie Siedlungs- und/oder Jagdgebiet der First Nations, hier der Haida. Die Gemeinde wurde 1907 unter dem Namen „Queenstown“ gegründet, aber 1914 umbenannt. Neuer Namensgeber war „Herbert S. Clements“, der als Abgeordneter den Wahlkreis im kanadischen Unterhaus vertrat, zu dem auch die Gemeinde gehörte. Am 31. Dezember 1975 erfolgte die Zuerkennung der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung für das Dorf (incorporated als Village Municipality). Sechs Kilometer südlich der Siedlung wuchs die Kiidk'yaas („alter Baum“ oder auch „Goldene Fichte“), eine Sitka-Fichte von mythologischer Bedeutung für die Haida. Am 22. Januar 1997 fällte ein arbeitsloser Holzarbeiter die Kiidk’yaas als politisches Bekenntnis gegen die Holzverarbeitungsunternehmen, wie beispielsweise Weyerhaeuser. Demographie Die offizielle Volkszählung, der Census 2016, ergab für die Gemeinde eine Bevölkerungszahl von 282 Einwohnern, nachdem der Zensus im Jahr 2011 für die Gemeinde noch eine Bevölkerungszahl von 378 Einwohnern ergab. Die Bevölkerung hat damit im Vergleich zum letzten Zensus im Jahr 2011 um 25,4 % abgenommen und sich damit stark entgegen dem Provinzdurchschnitt, mit einer Bevölkerungszunahme in British Columbia um 5,6 %, entwickelt. Auch im Zensuszeitraum 2006 bis 2011 hatte die Einwohnerzahl in der Gemeinde deutlich entgegen der Entwicklung in der Provinz um 14,1 % abgenommen, während sie im Provinzdurchschnitt um 7,0 % zunahm. Für den Zensus 2016 wurde für die Gemeinde ein Medianalter von 52,2 Jahren ermittelt. Das Medianalter der Provinz lag 2016 bei nur 43,0 Jahren. Das Durchschnittsalter lag bei 47,8 Jahren, bzw. bei 42,3 Jahren in der Provinz. Zum Zensus 2011 wurde für die Gemeinde noch ein Medianalter von 47,7 Jahren ermittelt, während das Medianalter der Provinz bei nur 41,9 Jahren lag.

Port Clements

Port Clements is an incorporated village situated at the east end of Masset Inlet in Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the coast of the Province of British Columbia in Canada. Known as Gamadiis in HlG̱aagilda X̱aayda kil, it is one of seven village sites that flourished in the rich waters at the mouth of Yakoun River, where an estuary shelters nine Pacific salmonid species and many kinds of birds. Founded by Eli Tingley in 1907, it was once known under the name Queenstown, but renamed to Port Clements in 1914 after Herb S. Clements, the local MP at the time (for Comox—Atlin, then 1917-1921 for Comox—Alberni), when the name "Queenstown" duplicated and therefore became unusable for the post office. The highway leading to Port Clements from Tlell and from Port Clements to Masset was paved in 1969 and soon after completion the village became incorporated in 1975. The road to Tlell is called the straight stretch, as it is straight. The other main road that heads west to Juskatla Camp and back south to Queen Charlotte City is still gravel and mainly a logging road only open to public traffic after working hours. Port Clements was and still is to a lesser extent the centre of the remaining logging on northern Graham Island. In this community 29.2% of the labour force works in the forest industry. Most of the processing takes place in Juskatla Camp. Past tourist attractions were Kiidk'yaas (The Golden Spruce) which was illegally felled by Grant Hadwin in 1997, and the White Raven, which has died. Today, Port Clements and the nearby mouth of the Yakoun River attract visitors intending to fish for steelheads, chinook and other salmon or to go kayaking. There are a few camp and picnic sites as well as hiking trails in and around Port Clements, which also has one gas station, one grocery store, a public library, a Canada Post office, a bar, a museum, a hostel, a grade school, a church and a wharf. Businesses include mechanics, small farmers and forestry contractors. Demographics In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Port Clements had a population of 340 living in 181 of its 205 total private dwellings, a change of 20.6% from its 2016 population of 282. With a land area of 13.07 km2 (5.05 sq mi), it had a population density of 26.0/km2 (67.4/sq mi) in 2021. References External links Official website

Porteau Cove Provincial Park

Porteau Cove Provincial Park is a provincial park located along the eastern shore of Howe Sound in British Columbia, Canada. Overview Situated along the Sea to Sky Highway, park is 50 hectares in size, and offers picnicing, camping, swimming, windsurfing, and a boat launch. Porteau Cove is a very popular area for scuba diving, with a series of artificial reefs including two sunken vessels. It has 44 drive-in campsites and 16 walk-in sites. 80% of the campsite may be reserved through Discover Camping, April through September. The park is maintained and operated by Sea to Sky Parks, based at Mount Seymour in North Vancouver, BC. On July 29, 2008, a large rockslide took place at the Porteau Bluffs, just north of Porteau Cove. No one was injured, however access to Whistler was hampered. The highway and the rail line run tightly together at the base of the bluffs, which is composed of slab-like chunks of granite, which formerly overhung the highway until scaling reduced some of the mass of the bluff. The slide has renewed concerns about the geotechnical safety of the route, and was a security issue during the 2010 Olympics events in Whistler. Communities north of the slide, including Whistler, are often isolated by such slides, but a "back door" paved route exists via Lillooet and the Fraser Canyon. A ferry dock exists at the park for emergency use. Consequently, gaining permission to use this dock as a location for the filming of Double Jeopardy (1999 film) proved challenging. If ever a landslide or avalanche occurs between Porteau Cove and Vancouver or Porteau Cove and Squamish, the BC Government could send in a ferry to detour cars around the slide to Darrell Bay Terminal in Squamish or to Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. Since slides occur so rarely on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, the dock is open to the public as a promenade wharf. The pier is owned by BC Parks, but the ferry ramp and accessories is owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Prohibited activities Fishing, shellfish harvesting or removal of other marine life is not allowed. Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. Campfires are permitted in designated fire rings only. Firewood is available for sale, or park visitors may opt to bring their own. Collection and burning of driftwood is prohibited. Beach wood is an essential component of the inter-tidal zone. Collection and burning of woody debris such as leaves, branches etc. is also prohibited. Beach fires are not permitted. Scuba diving from the pier and washing dishes are prohibited. Nude sunbathing is prohibited in the camping area. Gallery References External links "Porteau Cove Park". BC Geographical Names. Government of British Columbia – B.C.

Predator Ridge Resort

Predator Ridge Golf Resort is a 36-hole golf resort community in the Okanagan Valley outside Vernon, British Columbia. Predator Ridge Resort spans 1,200 acres and is home to a community of over 600 people. The community was acquired by Wesbild Holdings Ltd in 2007. Opened in 1991, Predator Ridge hosted the British Columbia Open in 1993. The original two nine-hole loops, designed by Les Furber, were named after resident birds of prey: The Osprey and The Red Tail. A third nine-hole course was built in 2000, named The Peregrine. To expand into a 36-hole golf facility, architect Doug Carrick was hired to build 9 new holes as well as renovate the original 9-hole Peregrine course. This new 18-hole golf course was renamed The Predator Course. In 2010, Carrick opened another 18-hole course which was named The Ridge Course. Predator Ridge is the only Golf Digest 4.5 star course in the Okanagan, and was voted as the best BC golf course by the Vancouver Sun. The Ridge Course is a par-72 championship 18-hole course which opened in July 2010. It was voted best new golf course in Canada in 2010 by Scoregolf. From the tournament tees, The Ridge Course measures 7123 yards with a slope rating of 133 and course rating of 73.8. The Predator course hosted the Telus World Skins Game, twice, in 2000 and 2008. It is a par-71 golf course with elevated greens and links-style bunkers. From the tournament tees, The Predator Course measures 7090 yards with a slope rating of 137 and course rating of 74.2.
