Kitsilano Beach

Kitsilano Beach (Squamish: X̱epx̱páy̓em) is one of the most popular beaches in Vancouver, especially in the warm summer months. Located at the north edge of the Kitsilano neighbourhood, the beach faces out onto English Bay. Description The beach is home to the longest swimming pool in Canada, the salt-water outdoor Kitsilano Pool, operated by the Vancouver Park Board and open annually from May to September. Toward the northern edge of the beach is a playground and a number of beach volleyball courts. In the Squamish language, it is called Xwupxpayʼem, which translates to "having red cedar". History In 1901, the beach was being transformed for future inclusion in a city park system. "The whole approach to the beach will be cleared, graded and seeded, and the beach itself cleared of what rocks and driftwood there is to annoy bathers, and the magnificent property will be made available for the people." Vancouver residents knew the area as "Greer's Beach" after settler Sam Greer, who pre-empted 160 acres on the waterfront in 1882 to farm there. When the provincial government granted Greer's land to the Canadian Pacific Railway(CPR), he was forced out and his home destroyed. The CPR considered developing the area into a rail-serviced port facility, but ended up selling off its real estate for development. In 1905 the name "Kitsilano" was appearing in real estate advertisements, such as one for "Lots at Kitsilano - Greer's Beach" for sale by the B.C. Electric Railway Company. In 1906 campsites were advertised at "'Kitsilano' Greer's Beach". B.C. Electric made a deal with the CPR to run a tram from downtown Vancouver "to a point called Greer's Beach, or Kitsilano". In 1906, the company managing the facilities at the beach for the CPR announced plans for a baseball field, a dance pavilion over the water, and a dock for a small ferry to run to the new "country club" at Jericho. Commencing in 1909 and continuing over several years, the City of Vancouver acquired several portions of what is now the public beach park. In 2005, the bath house structure was demolished and replaced with a modern structure featuring the Watermark restaurant on top, boasting an expansive view of the beach and English Bay. The Watermark building was later sold to The Boathouse restaurant franchise. References External links Kitsilano Pool

Koksilah River Provincial Park

Der Koksilah River Provincial Park ist ein etwa 230 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Er liegt am Rand der Gemeinde Shawnigan Lake, etwa 15 Kilometer westlich des Highway 1. Der Park liegt im Cowichan Valley Regional District und ist nicht für Übernachtungen vorgesehen, ein sogenannter Day-use Park. Unmittelbar östlich des Parks liegt die Kinsol-Eisenbahnbrücke (Kinsol Trestle), eine große freistehende hölzerne Trestle-Brücke. Anlage Der Park besteht aus zwei Teilen und zieht sich entlang des Ufers des Koksilah River. Ein kleinerer Teil des Parks befindet sich etwa zwei Kilometer südwestlich des Hauptteils des Parks. Dabei besteht auch der Hauptteil des Parks aus zwei Blöcken, diese sind jedoch direkt miteinander verbunden. An den nordöstlichen Hauptteil des Parks grenzt nach Norden unmittelbar der Hwsalu-utsum Provincial Park an. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Geschichte Der Park wurde im Jahr 1954 eingerichtet. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden mehrmals sowohl seine Größe wie auch sein Schutzstatus geändert. Bei seiner Gründung hatte er eine Größe von 303 Acre, das entspricht etwa 122,6 ha. Zuletzt wurden seine Grenzen im Jahr 2004 verändert. Er wuchs dabei auf aktuell 230 ha. Flora und Fauna Das Ökosystem von British Columbia wird mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System in verschiedene biogeoklimatischen 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 auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik wird der Park, ebenso wie die umliegenden Parks, der Very Dry Maritime Subzone der Coastal Western Hemlock Zone (CWHxm1) zugeordnet. Während es sich bei dem umgebenden Wald hauptsächlich um jüngeren, nach forstwirtschaftlicher Nutzung gewachsenen Wald handelt, finden sich im südwestlichen Teil den Parks noch Altbestände mit Amerikanischem Erdbeerbaum und Küsten-Tanne. Im Park finden sich auch verschiedene schützenswerte bzw. bedrohte Pflanzen wie Sommerwurzen (Orobanche pinorum) oder Lupinen (Lupinus lepidus var. lepidus). Aktivitäten Der Park wird hauptsächlich durch die Bewohner der Region aufgesucht, da offiziell keine Übernachtungen im Park möglich sind. Er ist dabei besonders bei Mountain Bikern und Motorradfahren beliebt. Benachbarte Parks Die nächstgelegenen Provincial Parks sind, in Richtung Süden, der West Shawnigan Lake Provincial Park und der Memory Island Provincial Park.

Kootenay Canal

The Kootenay Canal is a hydroelectric power station, located 19 km downstream of Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. Where the Kootenay River flows out of the reservoir formed by the Corra Linn Dam on Kootenay Lake, a canal diverts water to BC Hydro's Kootenay Canal Generating Station. Its construction was a result of the Duncan Dam and Libby Dam providing year round flows into Kootenay Lake. The powerhouse was completed in 1976. Diversion Water enters the canal from the Corra Linn headpond and for much of the year is diverted 4.5 km past Corra Linn Dam, City of Nelson Powerhouse, Upper Bonnington, Lower Bonnington and South Slocan. By diverting water past the older and smaller dams Kootenay Canal can generate more power due to greater head and more modern generators. Powerhouse After passing through the canal and dropping 84 meters through the powerhouse containing four water turbine-electrical generator units, water then returns to the river. Power generated at Kootenay Canal plant is fed into BC Hydro's provincial grid via two lines running south to Selkirk Switching Station, near the Seven Mile Generating Station. Expansion In 1999 the four turbines were upgraded and increased the output to a total of 583 MW. Kootenay Canal and Seven Mile generating stations together supplied 10% of BC Hydro's electricity requirements. Canal plant agreement Under the terms of the Columbia River Treaty, the Province of British Columbia is entitled to downstream benefits resulting from dam construction. Both the Duncan Dam above Kootenay lake and Lake Koocanusa created by the Libby Dam 200 kilometers upstream in Montana, are covered by the treaty and result in a constant supply of water into Kootenay Lake, and to the many Columbia River dams downstream. BC Hydro is allowed to divert water from five older hydroelectric plants owned by FortisBC and the City of Nelson. Fortis receives the amount of power their generating stations would have produced. Downstream the Brilliant Dam is in the agreement. On the Pend d'Oreille River the Seven Mile Dam and the Waneta Dam are also in the agreement.

ГЕС Кутеней-Канал

ГЕС Кутеней-Канал — гідроелектростанція на південному заході Канади у провінції Британська Колумбія. Знаходячись між ГЕС Ліббі (вище по течії у США) 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). Ще перед Другою світовою війною на Кутейней після великого природного озера Кутеней спорудили каскад гідроелектростанцій — від ГЕС Corra Linn (49 МВт) до ГЕС South Slocan. При цьому на виході з озера у 1930—1932 роках звели бетонну гравітаційну греблю Corra Linn висотою 21 метр та довжиною 518 метрів, яка забезпечувала регулювання рівня в діапазоні лише 2,5 метра. Втім, площа поверхні водойми, котра простягнулась по долинах Кутеней та її правої притоки Дункан, становила майже чотири сотні квадратних кілометрів, що створювало великий активний об'єм водосховища навіть при незначному коливанні рівня. Згодом вище по сточищу звели греблі Ліббі та Дункан (остання не має власних генеруючих потужностей), котрі утворили великі резервуари та стабілізували сток. Це дозволило в 1971—1976 роках спорудити ГЕС Кутеней-Канал, яка продублювала весь попередній каскад. У межах цього проекту ліворуч від греблі Corra Linn облаштували водозабір, від якого проклали дериваційний канал завдовжки приблизно 4,5 км, шириною від 15 до 26 метрів та глибиною до 15 метрів. Під час будівництва проведено виїмку понад 4 млн м3 породи. По завершенні канал переходить у чотири короткі — по 0,2 км — напірні водоводи до наземного машинного залу, розташованого дещо нижче від греблі ГЕС South Slocan. Зазначена схема дозволяє створити напір у 75 метрів. Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири турбіни типу Френсіс, котрі первісно мали потужність по 132,3 МВт. Внаслідок подальшої модернізації загальна потужність ГЕС зросла до 580 МВт. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 230 кВ. Примітки
