Creekway Park

Creekway Park is a small daylighting habitat located in the Hastings-Sunrise area of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The park, which is located at 2957 Bridgeway Street just southeast of New Brighton Park between McGill Street and the railway tracks, was completed in September 2013 as the first stage of the Vancouver City Council's plan to eventually connect New Brighton Park with Hastings Park. This would provide a passage for water from the sanctuary at Hastings Park to the Burrard Inlet. Although the connection is not fully complete, Creekway Park still has a running stream with pedestrian and bicycle paths that connect to the Trans Canada Trail. Once the project has been fully completed, there will be a pathway between Hastings Park, Creekway Park, and New Brighton Park. This will also promote an urban habitat that supports all kinds of wildlife such as birds, fish, butterflies, and amphibians, as well as many native plant species. References

Фрегат «Принс-Руперт» був закладений 1 серпня 1942 року на канадській верфі британської компанії Yarrow Shipbuilders в Іскваймолті. 3 лютого 1943 року він був спущений на воду, а 30 серпня 1943 року увійшов до складу Королівських ВМС Канади. 15 січня 1946 року виведений до резерву. 1947 році розібраний на брухт.

Кораблі були спроектовані військово-морським інженером Вільямом Рідом з компанії Smith's Dock Company з Саут-Бенк-он-Тіс, щоб мати витривалість і протичовнові спроможності шлюпів класу «Блек Свон», водночас бути швидкими та дешевими у будівництві, з можливістю їх будувати на цивільних верфях з використанням обладнання (наприклад, поршневих парових двигунів замість турбін) та будівельних технологій, вперше використаних при будівництві корветів класу «Флавер».

Fraser Canyon Hospital

Fraser Canyon Hospital (FCH) is a publicly funded community hospital in the town of Hope, British Columbia, Canada. The hospital is both owned and operated by the Fraser Health Authority (FHA). Overview FCH is a 10-bed hospital and provides services including: 24/7 emergency care stabilization and triage and hospice beds and services. Emergency care stabilization and triage 24/7 is a critical need for Fraser Canyon Hospital due to its geographic isolation and the number of travellers using the major highways that converge in the area. One such traveller was Grand Chief Stewart Phillip who was triaged at FCH in 2014 after his car flipped over. On April 17, 1999, an 8-year-old girl playing near Kawkawa Lake Camp was treated at FCH after being attacked by young female cougar. History The establishment of a hospital was a political issue in the 1950s, escalated by the 1956 Slesse Mountain airplane crash that killed all 62 people on board. Efforts and assets by the local Medical Clinic Association to set up a privately operated facility were transferred to the Hope Hospital Association to build and operate a government-backed hospital. Area MLA Irvine Finlay Corbett of the British Columbia Social Credit Party was an advocate but died in his own air crash prior to the opening of the hospital. Health Minister Eric Martin officially opened FCH on January 10, 1959. The 20-bed hospital was complete with delivery and operating rooms. In 2001, its governance transferred from the Fraser Valley Health Region to the newly created and larger Fraser Health Authority as part of a province-wide restructuring of health authorities. Philanthropy The hospital is supported by the Fraser Valley Healthcare Foundation and by the Auxiliary to the Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge which operates gift shops in both facilities.

Henry James Cambie Secondary School

Henry James Cambie Secondary School is a public high school in Richmond, British Columbia, part of School District 38 Richmond. History The school's facility was constructed in 1927 at the corner of Cambie and Sexsmith Roads. It accommodated grades 10 and 11 as Richmond Secondary School until 1937, when grades 8 and 9 were added, and the school’s name changed to Richmond Junior-Senior Secondary School. With the opening of a new Richmond High School on Foster Road (now Minoru Boulevard) in 1952, the original facility on Cambie Road became Cambie Junior Secondary School, serving Grades 7 to 10. According to the city of Richmond, "The school was named after the road, but the road was named after Henry James [John] Cambie, an engineer with the Canadian Pacific Railway, who surveyed and built roads in both Vancouver and Richmond." In 1969, money was appropriated to expand the school, including addition of a chemistry lab. During the Royal Family's visit to Vancouver in 1971, the band from Cambie Junior Secondary school played God Save the Queen while the Union Jack was hoisted. In 1995, the original building was replaced by a new facility at Jacombs and No. 5 Road. Renamed Henry James Cambie Secondary School, it became a junior-senior secondary school in 1996. The building on Cambie and Sexsmith roads burned down in the late 1990s. Curriculum A 2020 study listed these curricular areas: "Applied Design, Skills & Technology, Arts Education, Career Education, Language Arts – Literacy, Language Arts – Oral Language, Language Arts – Reading, Language Arts – Writing, Mathematics / Numeracy, Physical & Health Education, Science, Social Studies". One 2020 curricular focus was awareness and appreciation of the Hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language and culture. Carpentry Cambie operates a carpentry apprenticeship program in which the 12th grade students undertake such projects as building cabins. Technology In 1999, Cambie was one of two Canadian schools selected to participate in a technology-sharing program with schools in Asia. Athletics The first gymnasium was built in 1929. It was designed by McCarter and Nairne and was 50 by 110 feet in length. It included a stage and dressing rooms. In 1995 the school received 3 million dollars to develop playing fields adjacent to the new school building. 2 million was provided by the Canada-British Columbia Infrastructure Works Program, with the remaining $1 million being provided by the community of Richmond. The project covered 17.4 hectares and included facilities for soccer, baseball, tennis, and basketball.
