Patterson station (SkyTrain)

Patterson is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located at the intersection of Central Boulevard and Patterson Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is the westernmost Expo Line station in Burnaby. Location The station is located at the northeastern fringe of Burnaby's Central Park, at the corner of Patterson Avenue and Central Boulevard. A stretch of the Expo Line west of the station runs through the park. Due to its proximity to Central Park, a large wooded park with trails leading to Swangard Stadium, the station is primarily used by local residents in the area. History Patterson station was built in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The station is named after pioneer Dugald Campbell Patterson, who built the original interurban stop in the 1890s, then known as Patterson's Landing. This station is located above the old right-of-way of the former Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of where Nanaimo station is today, and continued east to where the current New Westminster station is located. On May 6, 1986, Princess Diana and Prince Charles disembarked at Patterson station after riding the SkyTrain from Waterfront station during their visit to Vancouver and Expo 86. In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark station (originally Commercial–Broadway) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with the Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016. Station information Entrances Patterson station is served by four entrances. The two main entrances are located at the southeast end of the station, one entrance faces Beresford Street and the stations bus loop, while the other entrance is adjacent to Central Boulevard. Two more entrances are located at the northwest end of the station, these two entrances are located within Central Park and do not allow access for the disabled.

Xatśūll First Nation

Xatśūll First Nation formerly known as Soda Creek Indian Band, is a First Nations government of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation, located in the Cariboo region of the Central Interior region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It was created when the government of the then-Colony of British Columbia established an Indian reserve system in the 1860s. It is a member government of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council. In the Shuswap language, Soda Creek is called Xatsʼull, while Deep Creek is Cmetemʼ Xatʼsull, means "on the cliff where the bubbling water comes out". One of the many First Nation's Chiefs has been Bev Sellars, a lawyer and writer who was a finalist for the Burt Award for First Nations, Métis and Inuit Literature in 2014 for her Indian residential schools memoir They Called Me Number One. The Xatʼsull/Cmetemʼ First Nation has not signed any treaty with any settler-colonial political entity, nor has it ceded any land and let go its territorial claims. As part of the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (Tribal Council), Xatʼsull/Cmetemʼ First Nation has been in negotiation with the government of Canada and the government of British Columbia regarding a final treaty settling this matter. An "Agreement in Principle" was signed in 2018. Once a final agreement is signed between the Tribal Council, Canada, and British Columbia, it is expected that the Indian Reserves will be abolished, the territories under jurisdiction of Xatʼsull/Cmetemʼ First Nation will expand significantly, and former reserves will be absorbed into settlement land under sovereignty of Xatʼsull/Cmetemʼ First Nation. Indian Reserves The Soda Creek/Deep Creek Band has only two Indian Reserves: As explained before, these reserves were unilaterally defined by the Government of British Columbia, and thus the Band has never retracted its claim on its territory. These reserves are expected to be abolished and absorbed into settlement lands, after the signing of a final agreement.

Moray Bridge

The Moray Bridge, also known as the Moray Channel Bridge, and formerly the Middle Arm Bridge, is a crossing over the middle arm of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver. Richard Moody, who would name geographical features, such as this channel, after acquaintances, honoured Jonathan Moray (1824–84), a sergeant in the Corps of Royal Engineers, and later the New Westminster police chief. History Structure Opened in July 1957, the same date as the Oak Street Bridge, these links replaced the Marpole Bridge (road). The new configuration created a more circuitous route between Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport (YVR), not restored until the Arthur Laing Bridge opened in 1975. The concrete and steel second bridge across the Moray Channel cost about $1m, of which the federal government contributed $400,000. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for BC owns and maintains this low-level two-lane bridge. The centre swing span is 53 metres, and the approaches are 170 metres on Lulu Island, and 124 metres on Sea Island. Within a few years of construction, scouring required repairing and surrounding the protection piers with rock. The expansion joints were repaired in 1962–63. Attached to the western approach, the tender house was replaced the following year. This small building houses the human operator of the swing-span controls. In 1980–81, major pier protection was undertaken. Roadways Prior to the 1969 opening of the Dinsmore Bridge, the Moray Bridge was the only crossing in existence. Consequently, when the span malfunctioned, as it did twice in 1961, traffic could be trapped for several hours. The non-arrival of passengers and crew delayed some airport flights. Mechanical and electrical issues continue to plague the span. The single lane each way, 1957–2001, was subject to traffic congestion from vehicle accidents, swing span openings for boats, or rush hour volumes. Linking Sea Island Way on Lulu Island and Miller Rd on Sea Island, the roadway intersected Airport Rd. On construction in the late 1970s, Russ Baker Way became the new intersection, making Airport Rd. (south) a cul-de-sac. Prior to 2001, Airport Rd. (north) leading to Grauer Rd., and Cessna Dr., branched at the foot of the bridge. Following the 2001 opening of the Sea Island Connector, the Moray Bridge has carried only eastbound traffic from YVR. The only unrestricted vehicle access is from Grant McConachie Way.

Storehouse No. 4

Storehouse No. 4, also known as the Eagle Point Storehouse, is an historic storehouse located on International Street in Hyder, Alaska. It was built in 1896 under supervision of engineer David du Bose Gaillard. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Its interior dimensions are 10 by 15 feet (3.0 m × 4.6 m) and its walls are 12 to 18 inches thick; along with three similar other storehouses it served the Portland Canal (a 71-mile (114 km) fjord, not truly a canal). It is one of the first masonry structures to be built in Alaska. The reason for its construction is uncertain from period documents, but it appears to have been related to the Alaska boundary dispute with Canada. This dispute was resolved by arbitration in 1903, resulting in the transfer in 1906 of the territories containing two of the other three storehouses to Canada.

Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing

Der Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing (dt. ungefähr Übergang der zweiten Engstelle im Gedenken an die Eisenarbeiter) ist eine sechsspurige Autobahnbrücke in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Sie verbindet Vancouver mit North Vancouver und überquert dabei den Burrard Inlet, an der zweiten Engstelle dieses Fjordes. Von der Bauform her ist sie eine Kragträgerbrücke mit Fachwerk aus Stahl, sie wurde von der Swan Wooster Engineering Company entworfen. Die Länge beträgt 1292 Meter, die Spannweite des Mittelteils 335 Meter. Die Feldweiten der Brücke betragen 85,86 Meter – 2 × 85,91 Meter – 86,08 Meter – 142,24 Meter – 335,00 Meter – 142,09 Meter. Darüber führt der Trans-Canada Highway. Unmittelbar östlich davon befindet sich die Second Narrows Bridge, die heute eine reine Eisenbahnbrücke ist. Die Bauarbeiten begannen im November 1957. Am 17. Juni 1958 brachen mehrere Brückenbögen und 79 Arbeiter stürzten 30 Meter tief ins Wasser. Achtzehn von ihnen kamen ums Leben, da sie wegen ihrer schweren Werkzeuggürtel in die Tiefe gerissen wurden. Später ertrank auch ein Taucher, der nach den Leichen suchte. Eine Untersuchungskommission kam zum Schluss, dass menschliches Versagen die Unfallursache gewesen war. Ein Ingenieur, der ebenfalls zu den Todesopfern gehörte, hatte eine Berechnung falsch durchgeführt und das Gewicht des Baumaterials unterschätzt. Als ein Baukran herumschwang, um ein Element einzusetzen, konnte die Brücke das zusätzliche Gewicht nicht mehr halten und stürzte ein. Nach dem Unfall wurde die Brücke fertiggestellt und 25. August 1960 eröffnet. 1994 erfolgte die Umbenennung zu Ehren der ums Leben gekommenen Arbeiter. Der Folksänger Stompin’ Tom Connors besang das Ereignis im Song The Bridge Came Tumbling Down auf seinem 1972 erschienenen Album My Stompin’ Grounds. Weblinks Brücken in Greater Vancouver
Lulu Island

Lulu Island ist eine Insel im Südwesten des Lower Mainlands in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Sie liegt südlich von Vancouver im Ästuar des Fraser River, an der Straße von Georgia. Sie ist die größte Insel im Flussdelta. Auf dem westlichen Teil der Insel liegt die Stadt Richmond, sie umfasst den größten Teil der Insel. Der östlichste Teil der Insel, mit der Siedlung Queensborough, gehört zur Stadt New Westminster. Im Nordwesten liegt Sea Island mit dem Vancouver International Airport. Nach der heute am wahrscheinlichsten geltenden Deutung wurde die Insel nach einer bekannten Revuetänzerin namens „Lulu“ benannt, die ein Verhältnis mit dem Bürgermeister von Vancouver hatte und hier ein Grundstück erwarb.

Лулу (остров, Канада)

Остров Лулу (англ. Lulu Island) — крупнейший остров в эстуарии реки Фрейзер. География Остров расположен на юго-западе провинции Британская Колумбия (Канада). Длина острова составляет 19 км, ширина — 10 км. Практически всю территорию острова занимает город Ричмонд, являющийся пригородом Ванкувера, крупнейшего города провинции. Однако восточная оконечность острова входит в состав города Нью-Уэстминстер. На западе песчаная банка отделяет пролив Джорджии от острова, на северо-западе один из рукавов реки Фрейзер отделяет от острова Лулу остров Си, на котором расположен Международный аэропорт Ванкувера (несмотря на название и аэропорт, и весь остров Си входит в состав города Ричмонд). Название В 1862 году Ричард Муди назвал остров в честь Лулу Свит, актрисы первой театральной труппы, посетившей Нью-Уэстминстер. Существует и другая версия происхождения названия острова — Джон Мортон и его двоюродный брат Сэм Бригхаус, которые были первыми поселенцами на острове в 1862 году, вспоминали, что название произошло от слова «лоло», которое на чинукском жаргоне означает «нести» или «волок». Эти воспоминания были опубликованы в 1925 году племянником Джона Мортона Чарльзом Фредериком Мортоном Примечания
Queen Elizabeth Park

Park královny Alžběty (anglicky Queen Elizabeth Park) je městský park ve Vancouveru, největším městě Britské Kolumbie, ležící na kopci Little Mountain (dosahujícím nadmořskou výšku 168 metrů). Jeho povrch byl rozrytý, když se ve 20. století využíval jako lom na těžbu kamene pro stavbu prvních cest ve Vancouveru. Dějiny parku V roce 1930 navrhla BC Tulip Association transformovat lom a vytvořit nový park se zahradami. Do konce desetiletí převzal pozemek budoucího parku Výbor pro správu parků za účelem vytvoření místa pro oddych a rekreační účely. Park byl věnován anglickému králi Jiřímu VI. a jeho manželce, královně Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, během jejich návštěvy Vancouveru v roce 1939. Díky velkorysým darům od sdružení Canadian Pulp and Paper Association se od té doby zaměstnancům parku podařilo postupně změnit zarostlé svahy kopce na první městské arboretum v Kanadě. Zahrady navrhl zástupce ředitele Výboru pro správu parků, Bill Livingstone. Odhalené byly začátkem 60. let. Suma 1,25 milionu CAD od Prentice Bloedela pokryla náklady na vybudování vodních nádrží a výstavbu prvního geodetického skleníku v krajině obklopeného krytými zdmi, svítícími fontánami a velkolepou sochou Knife Edge - Two Piece od umělce Henryho Moorea. 6. prosince 1969 byl otevřen triodetický dóm Bloedel Floral Conservatory nabízející návštěvníkům velký počet odlišných klimatických zón, velké množství různorodých rostlin a volně poletujícího tropického ptactva. Atrakce Mezi atrakce v parku patří golfové hřiště, na kterém se hraje golf „pitch and putt“, discgolf, tenisové kurty a restaurace. V parku probíhalo natáčení několika epizod seriálu Stargate SG-1.

Queen Elizabeth Park (Vancouver)

Der Queen Elizabeth Park ist ein Park in der kanadischen Stadt Vancouver. Lage Der 52 Hektar große Park liegt im Stadtbezirk South Cambie. Neben dem Little Mountain, mit 167 Metern über dem Meer höchster Punkt der Stadt, befinden sich unter anderem ein Arboretum, ein Gewächshaus mit Voliere und einer Statue von Henry Moore (Bloedel Floral Conservatory), ein Golfplatz, eine Discgolf-Anlage und Tennisplätze im Park. Geschichte Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts befand sich hier ein Steinbruch, aus dem Material für den Straßenbau gewonnen wurde. 1930 machte die Tulpengesellschaft von British Columbia den Vorschlag, den Steinbruch in einen Park umzuwandeln. Einige Jahre später wurde das Gelände an die städtische Parkbehörde verkauft, die es der Königin Elizabeth widmete, die 1939 zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann König Georg VI. Kanada besuchte. Mit finanzieller Unterstützung des kanadischen Papierindustrieverbandes wandelten städtische Angestellte das Gelände in einen englischen Landschaftsgarten um. Der Forstwirtschaftsunternehmer Prentice Bloedel spendete 1,25 Millionen CAD und ermöglichte dadurch den Bau des ersten Gewächshauses in Kanada mit einer geodätischen Kuppel. Die Eröffnung der Bloedel Floral Conservatory erfolgte am 6. Dezember 1969. In den 1990er Jahren wurden im Park mehrere Episoden der Fernsehserie Stargate gedreht.
