Sliammon

Sliammon, pleme Salishan Indijanaca, ogranak Comoxa, nastanjeni na Malaspina Inletu u kanadskoj provinciji Britanska Kolumbija. Sliammoni su danas jedna od četiri nacija porijeklom od Comoxa (ostale tri su Klahoose, Homalco i Comox) a žive na 6 reezrvata na pacifičkoj obali Britanske Kolumbije oko jezera Powell Lake (Sunshine Coast; vidi) s plemenskim središtem u Powell Riveru. Rezervati su: Harwood Island 2 (na otoku Harwood), Kahkaykay 6, Paukeanum 3 (na otoku Cortes), Sliammon 1, Tokenatch 5 i Toquana 4. Populacija im iznosi oko 1,000. Sliammoni su dugo vremena bili zapostavljani s naučne strane, i tek se sredinom 1930.-tih ozbiljnije počeo njima baviti američki antropolog Homer Barnett, koji se prvenstveno interesira za potlatch. Njihova kultura pripada području Sjeverozapadne obale. Ribolov, sakupljanje divljeg voća i bilja i kopanje korijenja osnovni su načini pribavljanja hrane. Njihove kuće, dugout-kanui od cedrovine, totemski stupovi i drvorezbarstvo i košaraštvo ne zaostaju za onima plemena Kwakiutla, Tsimshiana i drugih kulturno srodnih plemena. Cedar je osnovna sirovina na kojoj počiva materijalna kultura plemena Sjeverozapadne obale, i samih Sliammona. Od cedrovine izgrađuju svoje kuće, kanue, rezbarene sanduke, i drugo, a od unutrašnje mekane kore (liko) rogožinu, ogrtače, prekrivače, konopce, kape, trake za povezivanje i drugo. Kanui mogu biti dugi do 50 stopa (15 metara) i široko 6 do 8 stopa (1,8 do 2,5 m). Kanu je glavno prijevozno sredstvo, bez kojega ne bi mogli otići u lov, ribolov i posjete drugi selima. Košaraštvom se bave žene tijekom dugih hladnih zimskih mjeseci. Literatura Dorothy M Kennedy and Randy Bouchard, Sliammon Life, Sliammon Lands.

Stone Mountain Provincial Park

The Stone Mountain Provincial Park is an area of 256.91 square kilometres (99.19 sq mi) of mountain wilderness in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The park is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, which includes the Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park, located immediately south, and Kwadacha Wilderness Provincial Park. It and nearby Muncho Lake Provincial Park are accessed from the Alaska Highway, where it penetrates the Northern Rocky Mountains. The park has various campsites, hiking and backpacking trails, a day-use picnic area, and a boat launch available for use. Geography Stone Mountain Provincial Park is best known for its mountains, as that is how it got its name. Since the park is in the alpine tundra biogeoclimatic zone, there is a lack of trees and an abundance of solid mountains going skywards. The park has steep topography, as elevations range from 1,200 meters to 2,500 meters and above. The tallest mountain in the park is St. Magnus at 2,550 meters. There are also rivers, lakes, and flowering meadows inside of the park as well. Flora Stone Mountain Park has two bio-geoclimatic zones that it supports: the subalpine zone and the alpine tundra zone. Due to a short growing season and severe weather, the plants in the park are often fragile. Facilities The park offers 28 vehicle campsites, sites available for day-use, a picnic area, and a boat launch. Stone Mountain Park has a large trail variety, with the most popular destination within the park being Summit Lake. The hiking trails in the park are all sorts of difficulty, as some can be done within a day while others can take multiple. References External links "Stone Mountain Park". BC Geographical Names.

Sunburst Lake

Der Sunburst Lake ist ein kleiner See im Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Lage Der kleine, neun Meter tiefe See liegt auf einer Höhe von 2.223 Metern, in der Southern Continental Ranges, einer Teilkette der Kanadischen Rocky Mountains. Er liegt westlich der kontinentalen Wasserscheide, westlich der Assiniboine Lodge und nördlich des Lake-Magog-Campingplatz. Er ist ein beliebtes Ziel für Tagesausflüge von der Lodge oder dem Campingplatz aus. Im See leben Regenbogenforellen (Oncorhynchus mykiss) und wahrscheinlich auch die seltene Cutthroat-Forelle (Oncorhynchus clarki). Im Sunburst Lake wurden außergewöhnlich große Exemplare mit 75 cm Länge gefangen. 1928 bauten die Brewster Brothers aus Seebe am Sunburst Lake eine Hütte. Die Sunburst Cabin wurde von Pat Brewster betrieben, bis sie diese 1949/50 an Elizabeth Rummel verkaufte. Nach der Pensionierung von Elizabeth „Lizzie“ Rummel 1970 wurde das Sunburst Camp zu einem Jugendcamp umfunktioniert und schlussendlich von BC Parks übernommen. Heute dient die Hütte als Unterkunft für Ranger. Weblinks Sunburst Lake In: Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB, englisch) Einzelnachweise

University Hospital of Northern British Columbia

The University Hospital of Northern British Columbia (UHNBC) is the largest Level III trauma centre in Northern BC. UHNBC is a teaching hospital that supports the Northern Medical Program, a joint medical program by the UBC Faculty of Medicine and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) for training doctors in British Columbia, Canada. History Multiple predecessors have been succeeded by what is now the University Hospital. The first major one being a railway construction hospital in 1914 (although a log hospital had already been built). A private hospital was also built. A hospital called the 'Pine Manor" hospital opened in 1918. The immediate predecessor to the University Hospital was opened in 1945 and had 112 beds by the time the University Hospital came around. By the 50s it was decided that a new hospital was needed and on 14 May 1958 a sod turning ceremony took place for the new hospital. The hospital was opened on Saturday, 16 January 1960 by provincial health minister Eric Martin. Tours were given on both Saturday and Sunday to over 7,000 people. When it initially opened, the hospital had 125 beds and cost $2.04 million (equivalent to $19.23 million in 2022) References

Point Roberts–Boundary Bay Border Crossing

The Point Roberts–Boundary Bay Border Crossing connects the communities of Point Roberts, Washington, and Tsawwassen, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. Tyee Drive on the American side joins 56 Street on the Canadian side. The crossing is the westernmost in the contiguous United States. By land, Point Roberts can only be accessed via this crossing. Canadian side Travel commonly occurred near or along the shores of Boundary Bay between the respective international boundaries. To address the customs implications of such journeys, a customs office was established at Boundary Bay in 1914. E.T. Calvert conducted the initial customs role from his home about 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of the boundary. His duties comprised patrolling the area by boat or on horseback. In 1935, customs offices were built at the boundary on the main road and 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) eastward at Beach Road (67 Street). Having operated under the administrative oversight of the Port of New Westminster, the status was upgraded in 1948 to the Port of Boundary Bay. In 1975, the Beach Road post closed permanently. The latest owner of this heritage building renovated the interior to accommodate a dental office. In 1977, the main crossing approach was widened from one to two lanes. In 2009, fugitive Ryan Alexander Jenkins walked across the porous border to enter BC. Commercial goods are transported by vehicle under custom's seals between the US mainland and Point Roberts. The CBSA office is open 24 hours. US side In the early 1900s, customs officers rarely came to Point Roberts. From 1919, customs visits increased to two or three times a month. A canvas tent served as the temporary post. In 1934, a two-room wooden structure was built at the border and rented to customs. In 1936, Walter "Pa" Davis, was appointed the first Deputy Collector. In 1941, the building and the one-acre site were purchased. In 1968, a slightly larger building was erected. Prior to closure in 1975, the US only staffed the small wooden structure at the eastward crossing of Meadow Lane intermittently. In 1979, the main building was enlarged and two lanes added to the approach, one dedicated to trucks. By 1987, a new office added a lobby area and search room. The present facility, which opened in 1998, won a design award. The crossing operates 24 hours. See also List of Canada–United States border crossings Footnotes References Legg, Herbert (1962).

Poste frontalier de Point Roberts–Boundary Bay

Le poste frontalier de Point Roberts–Boundary Bay est un poste-frontière situé le long de la frontière entre le Canada et les États-Unis reliant les communautés de Point Roberts dans l'État de Washington aux États-Unis et de Tsawwassen (en) dans la province de la Colombie-Britannique au Canada. Il s'agit du poste frontalier le plus à l'ouest des États-Unis contigus. Ce poste frontalier constitue le seul lien routier pour les résidents de Point Roberts qui leur permet de rejoindre les États-Unis contigus puisque la communauté est située sur une péninsule qui est seulement reliée au Canada. Pendant plusieurs années, un second poste frontalier reliait ces communautés à environ 1,5 km à l'est, mais celui-ci a été fermé par les autorités américaines et canadiennes en 1975. Cependant, le poste de contrôle frontalier historique canadien existe toujours à cet endroit.

Pacific Highway Border Crossing

The Pacific Highway Border Crossing connects the city of Blaine, Washington and the city of Surrey, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. Washington State Route 543 on the American side joins British Columbia Highway 15 on the Canadian side. Since the 1970s, commercial vehicles driving directly between Blaine and Surrey have been required to use this route, one of the five busiest commercial US-Canada border crossings. Canadian side On the 1891 opening of the New Westminster and Southern Railway, controlled by the Great Northern Railway (GN), a border inspection station was established about 300 metres (984 ft) west of the present crossing. When the GN relocated its track via White Rock in 1909, the border station moved westward creating the present Peace Arch Border Crossing. In 1913, a road was built along the former GN right-of-way (present Highway 15) to connect with the Yale Road (present Fraser Highway), which created an important road link between Vancouver and the border. That year, A.K. Westland became the inaugural officer at this new port of entry. He operated from a tent at the side of the road, which was replaced months later by a gabled wooden building. In 1923, an official ceremony commemorated the cement surfacing of the Canadian section of the Pacific Highway. To handle increased traffic through the crossing, the customs office was enlarged, which included a two-bedroom upstairs suite. Vehicle crash damage to the closed gates, which barred entry from midnight to 8am, led to their replacement with sensors. In 1937, the customs and immigration building was replaced by a Tudor-revival style structure. By 1944, this was the third busiest crossing in Canada. In 1953, a freight warehouse, truck bays and bus terminal were added. The 1937 building continued to handle auto traffic prior to replacement in 1986. The Port of New Westminster provided administrative oversight until the status was upgraded to an independent port in 1938. Vehicle inspections at the crossing have discovered various amounts of cocaine being trafficked illegally over the border, including 121 kg (267 lb) in 2008, 76 kg (168 lb) in 2009, 62 kg (137 lb) in 2013, 107.5 kg (237 lb) in 2016, and 71.5 kg (158 lb) (CA$3.5 million) in 2021. In 2022, protesting truck drivers seeking to end public health measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic blockaded the crossing for a few days. US side The initial border office occupied a residence. In 1915, the 24-hour office at the present Peace Arch site was closed and service at the Pacific Highway crossing extended to around 18 hours daily. The US operated out of large industrial building until a brick Georgian-revival border station was built in 1931. The crossing remained closed on Sundays due to staffing issues. The current facility was built in 1987. Following the September 11 attacks, CBP increased vehicle inspections, which caused long delays of up to six hours for freight trucks. In 2012, the NEXUS hours were extended to operate from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Gallery See also List of Canada–United States border crossings References
