List of National Historic Sites of Canada in British Columbia

This is a list of National Historic Sites (French: Lieux historiques nationaux) in the Canadian province of British Columbia. As of January 2020, there were 100 National Historic Sites designated in British Columbia, 13 of which are administered by Parks Canada. The first National Historic Sites to be designated in British Columbia were Fort Langley and Yuquot in 1923. Numerous National Historic Events also occurred across B.C., and are identified at places associated with them, using the same style of federal plaque which marks National Historic Sites. Several National Historic Persons are commemorated throughout the province in the same way. The markers do not indicate which designation—a Site, Event, or Person—a subject has been given. The Rideau Canal is a Site, for example, while the Welland Canal is designated an Event. The cairn and plaque to John Macdonell does not refer to a National Historic Person, but is erected because his home, Glengarry House, is a National Historic Site. Similarly, the plaque to John Guy officially marks not a Person, but an Event—the Landing of John Guy. This list uses names designated by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, which may differ from other names for these sites.

Kanaka Bar First Nation

Kanaka Bar First Nation (Thompson language: T'eqt'aqtn'mux) is a First Nations government located at Kanaka Bar, British Columbia, Canada, between the towns of Boston Bar and Lytton in the Fraser Canyon region. It is a member of the Fraser Canyon Indian Administration, one of three tribal councils of the Nlaka'pamux people. Other members of the Fraser Canyon Indian Administration are the Spuzzum, Skuppah and Nicomen First Nations (the Nicomen First Nation is also a member of the Nicola Tribal Association). Other Nlaka'pamux governments belong either to the Nicola Tribal Association or the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council. "Kanaka" was a word used throughout the Pacific islands and Australian to indicate a person recruited for manual labour. Kanaka also means "free man" but in many cases it meant indentured servant. Many Hawaiians were employed in the Fraser Canyon. The presence of many Hawaiians, known in their own language also as kanaka (local guy) on the gold workings on the Fraser in this area conferred the name Kanaka Bar on a certain gold-rich sandbar on the Fraser below.

Waterfront Station

Waterfront (engl. Waterfront Station) ist ein am 1. August 1914 eröffneter und im neuklassizistischen Stil erbauter Bahnhof im Zentrum der kanadischen Stadt Vancouver, im Stadtteil Downtown. Er befindet sich an der 601 West Cordova Street, am Südufer des Burrard Inlet und wenige Gehminuten vom historischen Stadtviertel Gastown entfernt. Der Bahnhof ist ein bedeutender Verkehrsknotenpunkt und Endstation folgender TransLink-Linien: Expo Line des SkyTrain nach Burnaby, New Westminster und Surrey Millennium Line des SkyTrain nach Burnaby und New Westminster Canada Line des SkyTrain nach Richmond und zum Vancouver International Airport SeaBus-Fähre zum Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver West Coast Express nach Port Moody, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge und Mission. Zahlreiche städtische und regionale Buslinien Am 23. Mai 1887 traf der erste Zug der Canadian Pacific Railway in Vancouver ein. Der erste Bahnhof wurde ab 1912 durch einen Neubau im neugotischen Stil ersetzt. Dieser diente über sechs Jahrzehnte als westliche Endstation der transkontinentalen Eisenbahnstrecke nach Montreal und Toronto. Ab 1977 wurden die Bahnanlagen aus dem alten Bahnhof entfernt und ein wenig weiter östlich im heute genutzten Gebäude neu aufgebaut. 1979 verlegte VIA Rail die Endstation der überregionalen Linien zum Bahnhof Pacific Central am False Creek.

Gare de Vancouver Waterfront

La gare Waterfront est un important centre de transport de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. Il y a des liaisons au SeaBus, au SkyTrain, au West Coast Express et aux autobus. Histoire La Gare de Waterfront est construit par le Canadien Pacifique en 1914, conçu par Barott et Blackader. Comme le troisième terminus ferroviaire que le Canadien Pacifique construit à la Colombie-Britannique, la gare adopte le style «gothique de chemin de fer» (en anglais : Railway Gothic) et est adopté par d'autres hôtels propriétaires du Canadien Pacifique. En 1978, les deux plus grandes sociétés canadiennes de chemins de fer, Canadien National et Canadien Pacifique, transfèrent leurs services de passagers, avec leurs gares des passagers, à une nouvelle société de la Couronne, Via Rail Canada. Via Rail reçoit donc la Gare de Waterfront du Canadian Pacifique et la Gare centrale du Pacifique du Canadien National. Cependant, après une année, Via Rail quitte la Gare de Waterfront et ne conserve que la Gare centrale du Pacifique. Le dernier train de passagers de Via Rail part de la Gare de Waterfront vers Montréal au 27e octobre 1979. Néanmoins, la Gare de Waterfront n'est pas totalement abandonnée. Bien avant le départ du dernier train de passagers, les cités du District régional du Grand Vancouver font des recherches pour transformer la Gare de Waterfront en un pivot du transport en commun. En 1977, le SeaBus, un traversier entre Vancouver et North Vancouver, est relancé après un hiatus de 20 ans. Avant la relance, une passerelle reliait la Gare de Waterfront et le quai du SeaBus à Vancouver. Au début des années 1980, la construction du Skytrain est commencée afin d'accueillir l'Exposition spécialisée de 1986 (Expo 86). Certains chemins de fer propriétaires du Canadien Pacifique étaient démolis avant la construction des chemins ferroviaires de guidage pour le SkyTrain. Le service commence le 11 décembre 1985. En 1995, un nouveau quai fut construit avant le lancement du premier services de trains de banlieue au Metro Vancouver, la West Coast Express. La dernière nouveauté de la Gare de Waterfront, complétée en 2009, est le quai de la Canada Line, une ligne du SkyTrain qui relie la gare et l'Aéroport international de Vancouver.

Waterfront Station

Het Waterfront Station is een van de belangrijkste spoorwegknooppunten van de Canadese stad Vancouver. De SeaBus (naar Noord-Vancouver), SkyTrain (de metro) en de West Coast Express eindigen bij het Waterfront Station. Het ligt midden in het centrum van Vancouver, naast Canada Place en het oorspronkelijke centrum Gastown. Geschiedenis In 1910 werd het Waterfront Station door de Canadian Pacific Railway gebouwd als westelijk eindstation van de Pacifische spoorlijn. Dit bleef zo totdat VIA Rail de exploitatierechten in 1978 in handen kreeg en de eindhalte verhuisde naar Pacific Central Station, dat meer oostelijk gelegen is, aan de False Creek. In 1977 vertrok de eerste SeaBus vanaf de achterkant van het Waterfront Station. Acht jaar later zou ook de Expo Line worden geopend, die gedeeltelijk gebruik zou gaan maken van de nog overgebleven treinsporen. Pas in 1995 kreeg het station ook haar functie als treinstation terug, toen begon de West Coast Express haar diensten. Sinds 2002 is er een extra SkyTrain-dienst bijgekomen, namelijk de Millennium Line. Op 17 augustus 2009 opende de Canada Line, waardoor de internationale luchthaven in 25 minuten bereikbaar was vanuit het centrum, evenals Richmond. De sporen van die metrolijn zijn echter gescheiden en liggen ondergronds.
Вокзал Уотерфронт

Вокзал Уотерфронт (Waterfront Station) — в прошлом главный железнодорожный вокзал, а ныне крупнейший мультимодальный терминал общественного транспорта в канадском городе Ванкувере, включающий в себя три станции лёгкого метро SkyTrain, станцию поездов пригородного сообщения, терминал пассажирского парома SeaBus. Расположение Вокзал Уотерфронт расположен в даунтауне Ванкувера, на южном берегу залива Беррард, на северном конце улицы Granville Street и в месте её пересечения с улицей West Cordova Street. История Вокзал был построен в 1914 году в рамках развития Канадской тихоокеанской железной дороги, и долгое время был конечной её точкой для трансконтинентальных пассажирских поездов из Монреаля и Торонто. В конце 70-х годов XX века в транспортной отрасли Канады была произведена серьезная реформа. Все пассажирские железнодорожные перевозки в стране были переданы вновь образованной государственной корпорации VIA Rail. После этого было принято решение отказаться от использования Waterfront Station в качестве главного вокзала Ванкувера в пользу Pacific Central Station. Последний поезд дальнего следования ушёл с Уотерфронт 27 октября 1979 года. Трансформация вокзала Уотерфронт в мультимодальный терминал общественного транспорта началась в 1977 году, когда начал функционировать паром SeaBus, связывающий даунтаун Ванкувера с Норт-Ванкувером. Специально для него был построен причал, связанный с главным зданием вокзала надземным переходом через железнодорожные пути. В начале 80-х годов в Ванкувере началось строительство лёгкого метро SkyTrain. На вокзале Уотерфронт была построена платформа конечной станции первой его линии Expo Line. Открытие станции и движение поездов началось 11 декабря 1985 года. В 1995 году на месте старых железнодорожных платформ были построены платформы для запускаемой пригородной железнодорожной линии West Coast Express, с удобными переходами к станции SkyTrain. В 2002 году начали работу поезда второй линии метро Millenium Line (по тем же путям, что и поезда Expo Line). В 2009 году была запущена третья линия метро Canada Line, также со станцией Waterfront в качестве конечного пункта. Для неё была построена отдельная платформа. В настоящее время вокзал Уотерфронт является единым терминалом для всех трёх существующих в Ванкувере линий SkyTrain. Поезда всех трёх линий уходят и возвращаются на Уотерфронт по подземным тоннелям.
