Gulf of Georgia Cannery

Die Gulf of Georgia Cannery ist eine National Historic Site of Canada in Steveston in British Columbia. Die 1894 erbaute ehemalige Fischkonservenfabrik dient heute als Fischereimuseum. Geschichte Bis 1902 war die auch als Monster Cannery bezeichnete Gulf of Georgia Cannery die größte Konservenfabrik in British Columbia. Im Jahr 1897 wurden hier über 2,5 Millionen Dosen Lachs manuell abgepackt. 1930 wurde die inzwischen veraltete Fabrik geschlossen. Erst nach Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Europa wurde sie wiedereröffnet, nunmehr wurde mittels neuer Maschinen Hering verarbeitet. Hering diente während des Krieges als wichtige Proteinquelle für Truppen und Zivilbevölkerung. Mit Kriegsende brach dieser Markt zusammen, dies bedeutete das Ende für die Produktion von Heringskonserven in British Columbia. Übrig blieb lediglich die Produktion von Tierfutter aus Hering, die jedoch Ende der 1960er Jahre weitgehend zum Erliegen kam, als infolge Überfischung restriktive Quoten festgesetzt wurden. In den 1970er Jahren konnte die Produktion nur aufrechterhalten werden, weil sich in Japan ein neuer Markt für Heringsrogen gebildet hatte und die Abfälle verarbeitet werden konnten. 1979 wurde die Fabrik wegen zu hoher Betriebskosten für den veralteten Maschinenpark endgültig stillgelegt. Die Gebäude wurden danach zunächst als Lager genutzt. Die kanadische Bundesregierung erwarb das Grundstück und erklärte am 15. Juli 1976 die Anlage zur Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site of Canada. Im Jahr 1984 wurde die Verwaltung an Parks Canada übergeben. 1986 wurde die Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society als gemeinnützige Trägergesellschaft gegründet. 1994, also hundert Jahre nach Eröffnung der Fabrik, wurde die National Historic Site für die Öffentlichkeit geöffnet. Heute ist die ehemalige Fabrik eine der wenigen National Historic Sites im Eigentum des Bundes, die von dritter Seite betrieben werden.

Uplands Park

Uplands Park is located within the municipality of Oak Bay, in the Uplands neighborhood, adjacent to the city of Victoria, British Columbia. Uplands Park consists of 76 acres (310,000 m2) of woodland trails and undeveloped natural reserve land, and includes Cattle Point with two well used boat ramps for trailerable boats, as well as the Oak Bay Cenotaph which honours the 97 Oak Bay men and women who died in World War Two. From 1860 to 1910, cattle were pushed overboard from paddle steamers to swim ashore to what is now Cattle Point, which is where the name Cattle Point comes from. It is among North America's first natural preserves to be set aside in an urban region; it was established in the 1940s by the Oak Bay city council, under the leadership of Reeve Walter Walker. A cairn, marking Walker's instrumental role in the creation of Uplands Park, stands at Cattle Point, near the southern coastal edge of the park. Cattle Point was designated an Urban Star Park in 2013 by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, only the second such park in the country. It joins a national and global network of Dark-sky preserves mostly found in remote areas and wilderness which adhere to guidelines to conserve the night sky for astronomical observation.

While the northern section is vast pristine wilderness, with no apparent sign of human use. Nature A very wet climate in the upper Seymour valley creates optimal growing conditions for interior cedar and hemlock forests with some of the oldest and largest old growth cedars (600 to 1,000 years old) in the southern Interior. is home to mule deer and moose while is seasonal habitat for mountain caribou and grizzlies. The river has native stocks of rainbow trout, and a small number of swans can be seen during the summer.

Vancouver Academy of Music

The Vancouver Academy of Music (VAM) is a Canadian music conservatory located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The school was founded as the Community Music School of Greater Vancouver in 1969 through efforts made by the Vancouver Community Arts Council. The school was originally located on West 12th Ave but relocated to the Music Centre in Vanier Park in May 1976. The school officially changed its name to the Vancouver Academy of Music in 1979. The VAM currently has two divisions of study, a college division for students wanting to pursue a performance career and a preparatory division for school-age children and adults. History When the VAM was initially founded, it only offered classes for young children in the Orff, Suzuki, and Kodály methods. In 1971 trumpeter Jerold Gerbrecht (longtime principal trumpet of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra) was brought in as music director to expand the school to include adult classes in music theory, history, composition, dance, and private instrumental and voice instruction. The school also formed an orchestra and a choir, but at this time still did not grant degrees. The Academy's program offerings continued to expand throughout the 1970s and 1980s with master classes, opera workshops, and other specialized courses. This success led the school to establish a collegiate program, the S. K. Lee College Program, in 1987 in partnership with Thompson Rivers University and the British Columbia Open University (BCOU). Students attend non-music classes at TRU and have their music courses at the Academy. Bachelor of Music degrees are awarded through the BCOU. Orchestras The Academy has Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Symphony Orchestras. Three times a year, the Senior Academy Strings joins forces with the wind department to form the Academy Symphony Orchestra to perform at the Vancouver Orpheum Theatre. Notable conductors include the late Sidney Harth. Notable faculty (past and present) Robert Creech, French horn Kum-Sing Lee, Piano Phyllis Mailing, Voice Steven Staryk, Violin Gwen Thompson, Violin Robert Rozek, Violin Notable alumni Lisle Ellis, composer Chan-hon Goh, ballet dancer Erin Wall, operatic soprano Jon Kimura Parker, pianist See also Category:Academic staff of the Vancouver Academy of Music References External links Vancouver Academy of Music
Vancouver Golf Club

Vancouver Golf Club, located in the Canadian city of Coquitlam, British Columbia, is the oldest golf club in the Lower Mainland. Established 116 years ago in 1910, it opened the following year on a former sheep farm on the west side of Blue Mountain. The suburban club was originally considered to be far outside of the major population centre of Vancouver, requiring a trip on the British Columbia Electric Railway and often an overnight stay at the club. Today, the club is considered to be centrally located in the Lower Mainland. The club has hosted the Canadian Women's Open four times on the LPGA Tour, in 1988, 1991, 2012, and 2015. The first two events were held as the du Maurier Classic, a women's major, and were won by Sally Little and Nancy Scranton, respectively. The 2012 edition was won by 15-year-old amateur Lydia Ko, then Lydia repeated in 2015 with a playoff win over Stacey Lewis. Vancouver Golf Club also hosted one Senior PGA Tour event in the 1985, the Canada Senior Open Championship, won by Peter Thomson of Australia. The Club commissioned a 3.5 million cu. ft. Reservoir fed from an aquifer in 1996 to supply natural water to the golf course irrigation system. Scorecard Criticism The club became the subject of controversy in 2008 when it became known that a rule was implemented eight years earlier that required new members to be able to speak English, regardless of their ability to pay the $65,000 full-play membership fee. The club stated it did not forbid members from speaking other languages while on the grounds, but required the English proficiency in order to ensure that members could understood and abide by club rules.
