One Wall Centre

One Wall Centre, also known as the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre North Tower, is a 48-storey, 157.8 m (518 ft) skyscraper hotel with residential condominiums in the Wall Centre development at 1088 Burrard Street in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The tower was designed by Perkins+Will Canada, and completed in 2001, and went on to win the Emporis Skyscraper Award for the Best New Skyscraper the same year. As of 2023 it is the sixth-tallest building in the city. The first 27 floors of the building are the 4 Diamond Sheraton Hotel. Floors 28, 29, and 30 are the Club Intrawest Resort floors; which are operated independent of Sheraton. Floors 31 to 48 are residential condominiums. The One Wall Centre tower is part of the Wall Centre complex owned by Wall Financial Corporation and was largely the vision of Peter Wall. Construction To counteract possible harmonic swaying during high winds, One Wall has a tuned water damping system at the top level of the building which consists of two specially designed 50,000-imperial-gallon (60,000 U.S. gal; 227,300 L) water tanks. These tanks are designed so that the harmonic frequency of the sloshing of the water in the tanks counteracts the harmonic frequency of the swaying of the building. The Sheraton Wall Centre required a 23 m (75 ft) deep excavation — the deepest excavation prior to Living Shangri-La for a building in the city. According to the June 2004 edition of Elevator World, Richmond Elevator Maintenance Ltd. won a contract for the lowest bid to supply the building's elevators, one of the local elevator firm's first examples of traction elevators. The installation features 10 elevators, 8 of which are high speed geared machines. The hotel is served by four 1,400 kg (3,100 lb) traction elevators at 244 m/min (800 ft/min), with a group of 3 for public usage and a single private VIP access elevator. There are also two hotel service elevators with 1,800 kg (4,000 lb) capacity each at 213 m/min (700 ft/min). The apartments are served by 2 elevators, each with a capacity of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) at 305 m/min (1,000 ft/min). There are also 2 roped hydraulic elevators: the 1,400 kg (3,100 lb) to serve the parking garage, and the 2,300 kg (5,100 lb) to serve the banquet floors. There are 6 escalators installed by Fujitec. During construction, as the building's glass was completed on the lower floors, construction was stopped as the City of Vancouver disagreed with the dark colour of glass that being applied. The building was completed with the upper floors a more translucent shade of glass, resulting in a two-toned appearance. The translucent windows were ultimately defective and replaced with darker windows, resulting in a uniform appearance of the building, in 2013.

One Wall Centre

Le One Wall Centre est un gratte-ciel de logement et d’hôtel construit à Vancouver au Canada de 1998 à 2001. Il comprend 347 chambres d'hôtel de la chaine Sheraton et 74 logements desservis par 8 ascenseurs pour une surface de plancher de 43 000 m2. Comme beaucoup d'autres gratte-ciel, l'immeuble ne comporte pas de 13e étage. Description L'immeuble est très fin, très étroit avec un rapport hauteur/largeur de 1 pour 7. La largeur de l'immeuble en effet est de seulement 21 mètres, limitant le nombre d'appartements à seulement 4 par étage, ce qui a nécessité des prouesses techniques, notamment l'utilisation d'un système d'amortissement du vent. Deux réservoirs dans le toit comprenant 230 tonnes d'eau permettant à l'eau de circuler pour équilibrer la force du vent, une première mondiale. Ces réservoirs d'eau peuvent aussi être utilisés en cas d'incendie. L'ingénièrie de la tour a été réalisée par le groupe Glotman Simpson. L'immeuble est récompensé par l'Emporis Skyscraper Award pour le gratte-ciel le plus remarquable de l'année 2001. L'apparence du bâtiment dont la partie supérieure a un aspect différent de la partie inférieure plus sombre, correspond à une demande des autorités municipales. C'était à son achèvement en 2001 le plus haut gratte-ciel de l'agglomération de Vancouver. Il a depuis été largement dépassé par d'autres immeubles.

The Misty Icefield (sometimes referred to as the Misty Icefields) is a high glaciated plateau in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. It is located in the eastern part of Garibaldi Provincial Park and the northern portion of Golden Ears Provincial Park. The Misty Icefield was mapped and named in 1955, and rarely visited since, mainly due to its remote location. The area includes the Stave Glacier, and the Snowcap Glacier The area is difficult to get to on foot, taking 3–5 days on skis, and there are few documented visits to the area.

Mitchell Island

Mitchell Island is an island in the North Arm of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, located between the cities of Vancouver and Richmond (incorporated as part of the latter). It is crossed by (and has on- and off-ramps for) the Knight Street Bridge, which is one of the main bridges between the City of Vancouver and Richmond. Originally agricultural, its land is now mainly used for industrial purposes. The island is host to a number of auto wreckers. Mitchell Island now includes the area of Twigg Island, originally known as Mason's Island and also known as Bell Island, a name which was rescinded in 1951 after the channel separating it from Mitchell Island was filled in. Also incorporated into Mitchell Island after the intervening channel was Eburne Island. The island's name commemorates the original Crown Grantee, Alexander Mitchell. The only way to get on and off the island by road or walking is through on- and off-ramps near the middle of the Knight Street Bridge. There is also a bus stop near the exit and entrance from the bridge; however, buses do not travel on the island itself. See also Sea Island, British Columbia Iona Island (British Columbia) References

Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park

Der Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park ist ein 155 ha großer Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Das Schutzgebiet wurde am 14. Juli 1961 eingerichtet und sein Status sowie die Grenzen wurden im Laufe der Zeit mehrfach, zuletzt im Jahr 2000, geändert. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein IUCN-Schutzgebiet der Kategorie Ia (strenges Naturreservat). Lage Der Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park liegt auf Mitlenatch Island. Der Name der Insel ist eine Verballhornung von „Métl'nech“, einem Begriff aus der Sprache der Sliammon, welcher wahrscheinlich mit „ruhiges Land“ übersetzt werden kann und sich auf geschützte Bereiche auf der Insel beziehen würde. Diese gehört zur Inselgruppe der Discovery Islands und liegt in der Straße von Georgia. Sie selbst gehört zum Strathcona Regional District. Nördlich der Insel liegt Cortes Island, nordöstlich Hernando Island, östlich Savary Island und westlich Vancouver Island. Das Schutzgebiet umfasst die gesamte Fläche der Mitlenatch-Insel sowie einen Teil der umgebenden Gewässer (36 ha Festland und 119 ha umgebende Gewässer). 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 das Parkgebiet der Coastal Douglas-fir Zone (CDFmm) zugeordnet. Die Insel beherbergt die zweitgrößte Brutkolonie von Seevögeln in der Straße von Georgia sowie viele seltene Pflanzen- und Tierarten. Bisher wurden auf Mitlenatch Island über 160 Vogelarten registriert. Zu den vorherrschenden Brutvogelarten gehören Beringmöwe, Meerscharbe, Ohrenscharbe, Taubenteiste, Klippenausternfischer und der Nashornalk sowie die Kragenente und der Marmelalk. In den Gewässern um die Insel kommen Seehunde und sowohl der Stellersche als auch der Kalifornische Seelöwe vor.

Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park

Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada encompassing Mitlenatch Island, a small islet in the northern Strait of Georgia within the Strathcona Regional District. Mitlenatch Island is located approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) northeast of Courtenay, British Columbia in the Strait of Georgia. The protected area is 155 hectares (380 acres) in size, with 36 hectares (89 acres) being upland and 119 hectares (290 acres) foreshore area. History In 1959, the province of British Columbia purchased Mitlenatch Island from a local family, and in 1961 it was designated as a Provincial Nature Park. "Mitlenatch" is a Coast Salish First Nations word translated to mean "calm waters all around". Perhaps the most descriptive meaning comes from the Sliammon language where ‘metl’ meant calm and ‘nach’ meant posterior. Calm (waters) behind is an apt description of the island during stormy weather. In the Kwak'wala language of the Kwakwaka'wakw, ‘mah-kwee-lay-lah’ meant "it looks close, but seems to move away as you approach it". Conservation Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park is home to the largest seabird colony in the Strait of Georgia. Glaucous-winged gulls, pelagic cormorants, pigeon guillemots, rhinoceros auklets and black oystercatchers also return to Mitlenatch each spring to breed. All sedentary marine life, including abalones, scallops and sea cucumbers are fully protected within this zone. Some of the largest garter snakes in BC reside here. These snakes are frequently encountered along trails and in beach and tide pool areas, where they feed on small fish such as sculpins and blennies. This park is a favourite haul-out for harbour seals, northern and California sea lions. The sea lions are generally present from late autumn to mid-May. River otters, killer whales and harbour porpoises are often sighted offshore. Recreation Mitlenatch Island is only accessible by boat, with opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and nature-watching. Due to the sensitive bird habitat, most of the island is closed to the public. A short trail from Camp Bay to Northwest Bay, and to East Hill gull blind are the only areas accessible to visitors.

Monte Creek Provincial Park

Der Monte Creek Provincial Park ist ein rund 3 Hektar (ha) großer Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der Park gehört zu der Gruppe von nur rund 5 % der Provincial Parks in British Columbia, die eine Fläche von 10 ha oder weniger haben. Der Park wurde unter anderem auch geschaffen, um dokumentierte archäologische Fundstellen in Form von Grubenhäusern, sogenannte „Kekuli“, der Secwepemc zu schützen, und hatte bei der Gründung sogar nur eine Fläche von 1,7 ha. Anlage Der Park liegt am südlichen Ufer des South Thompson River, etwa 30 km westlich von Kamloops, im Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Während der Park nach Norden durch den South Thompson River begrenzt wird, engen ihn nach Süden eine Eisenbahnstrecke der Canadian Pacific Railway sowie der Highway 1, der hier auch der Trans-Canada Highway ist und von dem hier der Highway 97 abzweigt, ein. Bei dem Park, der am 30. April 1996 eingerichtet wurde, handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Weblinks Monte Creek Provincial Park.
