Bodega Ridge Provincial Park

Der Bodega Ridge Provincial Park (oder auch nur Bodega Ridge Park) ist ein rund 397 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park im Südwesten der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der Park liegt auf Galiano Island, im Capital Regional District. Der Park gehört zu den kleineren und neueren der Provincial Parks in British Columbia. Weitere Provinzparks auf Galiano Island sind von Nordwesten nach Südosten der Dionisio Point Provincial Park, der Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park, der Collinson Point Provincial Park und der Bellhouse Provincial Park. Benannt ist der Park nach Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra. Der Kapitän vertrat Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts die spanischen Kolonialinteressen in dieser Region. Anlage Der Park liegt unweit des nordwestlichen Endes von Galiano Island zwischen dem Ufer des Trincomali-Kanals, der die Insel von anderen Inseln der südlichen Gulf Islands trennt, im Südwesten und der Straße von Georgia im Nordosten. Das Gelände im Park steigt von den Küsten zum höchsten Punkt im Zentrum des Parks, dem Bodega Hill, an. Im südwestlichen Uferbereich steigt das Gelände dabei steil an. Der Park umfasst sowohl 321 ha Festland wie auch 76 ha Ufer und Ufernaher Gezeitenzone. Bei dem Park, der am 11. April 2001 eingerichtet wurde, handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Der Park bietet keine touristische Infrastruktur. Es handelt sich bei ihm um einen sogenannten Day-Use Park. Mit rund 220 Besuchern (Personentagen) in der Saison 2023/2024, die von April 2023 bis März 2024 ging, gehörte er zur Gruppe der wenig besuchten Parks der Provinz. Der ebenfalls auf der Insel gelegene Montague Harbour Marine Provincial Park kam in der Saison 2023/2024 auf 156.330 Besucher. Flora und Fauna Mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System wird das Ökosystem von British Columbia in verschiedene biogeoklimatische 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 auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik wird der Park der Coastal Douglas-Fir (CDFmm) zugeordnet. Im Parkgebiet wachsen Douglasien, Küsten-Tannen und Erdbeerbäume, sowie krautartige Pflanzen der Sorte Gray’s desert parsley. Außerdem brüten im Park Wanderfalken. Im ufernahen Bereich des Trincomali-Kanal kommen Kammmuscheln der Art Patinopecten caurinus (in englischer Sprache als weathervane scallop bezeichnet) vor. Dies ist eines von nur zwei größeren Vorkommen dieser Art in der gesamten Provinz. Weblinks Bodega Ridge Park In: Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB, englisch) Bodega Ridge Park.

Great Canadian Casino Vancouver

Great Canadian Casino Vancouver (formerly Hard Rock Casino and Boulevard Casino) in Coquitlam, British Columbia is the largest casino in the province of British Columbia by gaming space. The casino is open 24 hours a day and is owned by Great Canadian Entertainment. History According to their 2006–07 annual report, Boulevard Casino was the third most profitable gaming venue in B.C., earning over $158 million, an increase of $28.9 million from the previous year, attributed to the new show theatre hosting up to 5,000 guests on show nights. The funding agreement with the province means the casino must give 10% of its net take to the city of Coquitlam. In 2010, Coquitlam received $8.2 million, which the city used for a community group fund and major capital projects, including the Chimo Aquatic and Fitness Centre (2008), Percy Perry Stadium renovation (2009), Coquitlam Sports Centre renovation (2010), and the new Coquitlam Public Library (2011). The casino rebranded itself as Hard Rock Casino Vancouver on December 20, 2013, following an agreement with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the legal franchisor and owner of Hard Rock International. In December 2023, it was rebranded again to Great Canadian Casino Vancouver. In December 2025, it was announced that Great Canadian Casino Vancouver would be acquired by Petroglyph Development Group, a wholly owned corporation of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. The transaction was subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory and third-party approvals. Amenities As part of the 2006 expansion, the new 1,074-seat The Molson Canadian Theatre was opened on-site.

Boundary Creek Provincial Park

Der Boundary Creek Provincial Park ist ein nur 2 ha großer Provinzpark im Süden der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der Park gehört zu den zehn kleinsten Provincial Parks in British Columbia. Er liegt 4 km südlich von Greenwood am Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) und gehört zum Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. Anlage Das Schutzgebiet liegt westlich des, hier in Nord-Süd-Richtung verlaufenden, Crowsnest Highway. Der Park wird nach Osten von Boundary Creek, einem Nebenfluss des Kettle River, begrenzt. Die umliegenden Berge gehören zu den Monashee Mountains.Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Geschichte Wie bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass er lange bevor die Gegend von europäischen Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde, Jagd- und Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations war. Der Park wurde am 16. März 1956, zusammen weiteren Parks, gegründet. Bei seiner Gründung umfasste er eine Fläche von 9 Acre (rund 3,5 ha). Im Laufe der Zeit wurden Parkstatus und seine Grenzen mehrfach geändert. Zuletzt wurden die Parkgrenzen 2000 mit dem Protected Areas of British Columbia Act verändert. Dabei wurde der Park auf seine heutige Größe verkleinert. Flora und Fauna Das Ökosystem von British Columbia wird mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System in verschiedene biogeoklimatischen Zonen eingeteilt. Diese biogeoklimatischen 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. Der Park wird danach der Interior Douglas-fir Zone mit den Subzonen Dry Mild (IDFdm) und Very Dry Hot (IDFxh) zugeordnet. Die Westliche Balsam-Pappel bildet den Hauptbestand an Bäumen im Park. Aktivitäten Der Park ist bei Wanderern ein beliebtes Ziel da am Rand des Parks, auf einer ehemaligen Eisenbahntrasse der Kettle Valley Railway, heute der Kettle Valley Rail Trail verläuft. Ebenfalls verläuft dort auch der Trans Canada Trail. Der Park ist Ausgangspunkt bzw. Zwischenstation für eine Vielzahl von Wandermöglichkeiten. Der Park hat insgesamt 18 Stellplätze für Wohnmobile und Zelte und verfügt über einfache Sanitäranlagen. Weblinks Boundary Creek Provincial Park. In: BC Geographical Names (englisch).

Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park

Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located on the Squamish River adjacent to Brackendale, a suburban neighbourhood of Squamish. It is notable for its bald eagle population during the winter months and is inaccessible to visitors. History In 1992, the government of British Columbia announced its Protected Areas Strategy that would protect 12% of the province by 2000. The west side of the Squamish River, which is recognized as a critical wintering site for bald eagles, was selected for protection as part of the strategy, and Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park was formally established in 1999. The park is the holder of the world record for bald eagles counted, with 3,769 in 1994. Ecology The park is a critical wintering site for bald eagles, who feed off salmon in the Squamish and Cheakamus Rivers during the winter, and the park hosts approximately 148 species of birds. The park is also home to several large mammals species; these are black bear, Roosevelt elk, bobcat, cougar, grey wolf, Columbian black-tailed deer, and coyote. There are many small mammals, such as northern flying squirrels, yellow pine chipmunks, and snowshoe hares. Reptiles and amphibians are also present in the park, although with a smaller variety of species than that of the park's mammals. References

The Amazing Brentwood

The Amazing Brentwood (previously Brentwood Town Centre and also referred to as Brentwood Mall) is a shopping mall in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is located in the Brentwood Park area of North Burnaby, at the intersection of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway, approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) from the city of Vancouver. History The Brentwood Park neighbourhood was developed in the early 1950s with 572 homes and plans for a shopping centre. The site was pieced together from municipal property and 14 private owners and acquired by Webb and Knapp Canada in 1957; several retailers had already purchased properties on the site and agreed to an integrated mall plan. Plans for the shopping centre were formally announced in January 1959 and approved by the municipal council the following month. Construction on the $10 million project began later that year. The Brentwood Shopping Centre opened on August 16, 1961, with 10,000 visitors on the first day causing traffic congestion on the Lougheed Highway. The mall had 50 stores, a total of 37,600 square metres (405,000 sq ft) of retail space, 2,400 parking spaces, and covered 12 hectares (30 acres)—making it the largest in Canada. Its anchors included Eaton's, Loblaws (their first store in British Columbia), and Zellers; other stores were spread between an enclosed area and outdoor strip mall. The outdoor portion was later converted to an enclosed space, while a second level was added in the 1980s. The mall was closed in May 2025 and will be entirely demolished. Redevelopment In November 2014, the 11-hectare (28-acre) Brentwood Town Centre site underwent a major redevelopment as part of a development initiative entitled "The Amazing Brentwood", which aims to create a master-planned neighbourhood. It consists of 120,000 m2 (1,300,000 sq ft) of retail space, 46,000 m2 (500,000 sq ft) of office space, and three residential high-rise towers which were to be completed between 2018 and 2021. Transportation Brentwood Town Centre is directly connected to Brentwood Town Centre station on the Millennium Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system.
