Norbury Lake Provincial Park

Der Norbury Lake Provincial Park ist ein 97 Hektar großer Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Er liegt rund 30 Kilometer östlich von Cranbrook im Regional District of East Kootenay. Der Park liegt etwas abseits der Highways und ist von Fort Steele, am Highway 93 bzw. Highway 95 oder von Wardner, am Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3), zu erreichen. Anlage Der kleine Park und einfach ausgestattete Park ist von rechteckiger Form und wird von einer Straße diagonal in zwei Teile getrennt. Im südlich der Straße gelegenen Teil befindet sich der Norbury Lake und der Campingbereich. Im nördlich der Straße befindet sich ein Picknickbereich und der Packham’s Lake. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der Kategorie IV (Ressourcenschutzgebiet). Geschichte Der Park wurde im Jahr 1958 eingerichtet und hat seinen Namen nach dem im Park gelegenen See. Namensgeber für den See war ein angesehener Bürger F. Paget Norbury der hier seinen Wohnsitz hatte und Magistrat im nahegelegenen Fort Steele war. 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 des Ökosystems von British Columbia wird das Gebiet, in dem der Park liegt, der Dry Mild Subzone der Interior Douglas-fir Zone zugeordnet. Nach der letzten forstwirtschaftlicher Nutzung und Aufforstung wachsen hier nun hauptsächlich Douglasien, Küsten-Kiefern und westamerikanische Lärche. Am Packham’s Lake findet sich auch amerikanische Zitterpappel. Im Unterholz wachsen Apfelbeeren, kanadische Büffelbeeren und Weiße Zimthimbeeren. Aktivitäten Der Park bietet 46, nicht reservierbare, Stellplätze für Zelte und Wohnmobile, sowie eine einfache Sanitäranlage. Er ist Bestandteil eines Systems von Parks entlang der Highways im südlichen British Columbia, um so Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten für Reisende zu bieten. Diese stellen auch den Hauptteil der Besucher im Park. Da der Park weiterhin einen See mit einer Sliprampe bietet ist er auch für Wassersportler attraktiv. Weblinks Norbury Lake Provincial Park.

Choquette Hot Springs Provincial Park

Choquette Hot Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park located in the Stikine Country region of British Columbia, Canada. It was established on January 25, 2001, to protect Stikine River Hot Springs, the largest hot springs on the Canadian side of the lower Stikine River. The park lies in the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation about 120 kilometres (75 mi) south of the Tahltan community of Telegraph Creek. Geography The park is located on the eastern banks of the Stikine River, just north of the river's confluence with the Choquette River. Despite the park's name, the official name of the hot springs is Stikine River Hot Springs. Geology The Stikine River Hot Springs are a collection of over 15 individual hot springs that emerge out from the granitic rocks at the base of the valley wall, or from mud just beyond the valley floor. Many of these hot springs are within a tidally-influenced area and are underwater at high tides. At least four hot springs remain above the high tide and beaver pond flooding. These hot springs range in temperature from 50 to 60 °C (122 to 140 °F). The water is odourless and tasteless, with a low mineral content. Activities Choquette Hot Springs Park features no facilities but allows backcountry or "walk-in" camping. The park is accessible by boat on the Stikine River, or by helicopter. The hot springs are difficult to access due to extensive mud areas and the absence of any developed pools.

Cinnemousun Narrows Provincial Park

Der Cinnemousun Narrows Provincial Park (teilweise auch nur Cinnemousun Narrows Park) ist ein Provincial Park im Südwesten der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der etwa 584 Hektar (ha) große Park liegt nördlich von Sicamous im Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. Anlage Der Park liegt am Ufer des Shuswap Lake, zu beiden Seiten der Engstelle an dem die vier Seeteile aufeinander treffen. Dabei umfasst der Park dabei sowohl Landfläche wie auch Wasser- und Uferfläche. Die Engstelle die durch das zusammentreffen von Salmon Arm (Südwesten), Anstey Arm (Nordosten), Seymour Arm (Norden) und Hauptsee (Westen), der auch als Shuswap Arm entsteht, wird als Cinnemousun Narrows bezeichnet. Der Parkteil nördlich der Engstelle grenzt an zwei Teilbereiche des Shuswap Lake Marine Provincial Park, im Nordwesten an die Nielsen Beach Site und im Nordosten an die Anstey View Site. Weiterhin liegen am Shuswap Lake mit dem Anstey Hunakwa Provincial Park, dem Herald Provincial Park, dem Shuswap Lake Provincial Park und dem Silver Beach Provincial Park noch weitere der Provincial Parks in British Columbia. Der Park ist ein sogenannter Back Country Park, da er nicht über öffentliche Straßen erreicht werden kann. Der Zugang erfolgt einzig über Fuß- und Reitwege oder auf dem Wasserweg. Geschichte Der Park wurde 1956 errichtet. Im Laufe von Änderungen in den Jahren 1980, 1986, 1988, 1993, 2000, 2001 und 2004 wurden sein Grenzen verändert und auch wurde mehrfach die Rechtsgrundlage für den Schutz geändert. Zuletzt wurden im Jahr 2025 seine Grenzen verändert. Dabei wurde die Parkfläche von zuvor 738 ha auf nun 584 ha verringert. Wie jedoch grundsätzlich bei allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass die Gegend, lange bevor sie von europäischen Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde, Jagd- und Siedlungsgebiet verschiedener Gruppen der First Nations, hier Gruppen der Secwepemc, war. Deren Nutzung der Gegend ist durch archäologische Fundstellen in Form von Grubenhäusern, sogenannte „Kekuli“, dokumentiert. 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 dann grundsätzlich auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik wird der Park der Interior Cedar—Hemlock zugeordnet. Aktivitäten Der Park verfügt nur über wenig touristische Infrastruktur. Neben einem Picknickbereich verfügt der Park über zwei einfache Schutzhütten.

City Square Shopping Centre is a mall across the street from City Hall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located in the heart of the heritage district of central Vancouver, on the northwest corner of 12th Avenue and Cambie Street. City Square Shopping Mall and office complex was inaugurated in 1989 and is an example of adaptive reuse of heritage buildings. History Unique to Vancouver, City Square's shopping mall and office complex is a mix of modern and heritage architecture. The heritage portions of the complex were built in 1905 and 1908 to house the Model School and Normal School, respectively. Graduates from the Teacher's Training Program applied their skills, norms (hence the name "Normal School") and educational theories at the Normal School to gain practical experience. In 1986 the City of Vancouver designated both school buildings as municipal heritage sites, saving them from demolition. City Square today On the retail level, the shopping mall offers over 50 shops and professional services, including medical and dental offices, and a food court.
