Tsawwassen ferry terminal

Tsawwassen is a ferry terminal and a major transportation facility in Delta, British Columbia, part of the BC Ferries system and Highway 17. Positioned less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) from the 49th parallel along the Canada–United States border, it is located at the southwestern end of a 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) causeway that juts out into the Strait of Georgia off the mainland at the community of Tsawwassen. With an approximate size of 23 hectares (57 acres), it is the largest ferry terminal in North America. History In the late 1950s, the search for a mainland ferry terminal that would connect British Columbia's Lower Mainland with the Victoria area on Vancouver Island involved extensive scouting of locations, from Steveston to White Rock. Despite concerns of rough seas and bad weather, the favoured site soon became the area offshore from the Tsawwassen First Nation reserve. Construction of the terminal began in 1959, after BC Transportation Minister Phil Gaglardi, on divided engineering advice, selected the site. Construction of an artificial island began, and the causeway was built from the island back towards the mainland. The endeavour used an estimated 2.3 million cubic metres (3.0 million cubic yards) of boulder, rock, and gravel fill. To connect Highway 99 to the new terminal, an 11-kilometre-long (6.8 mi) highway was constructed near the southern end of the Deas Tunnel and through the edge of Ladner and became a portion of Highway 17. The terminal opened on June 15, 1960. In the mid-1990s, a major renovation and expansion of the terminal was undertaken. Issues The isolated causeway location of the terminal was criticized locally in its formative years. In 2003, the Tsawwassen First Nation filed legal action in the BC Supreme Court over the destruction of the foreshore and other concerns caused by the impact of the terminal and the nearby Roberts Bank Superport. Concerns were also expressed in 2005 about eutrophication, or destructive bacterial buildup, in the waters between the terminal and the Roberts Bank facility. Ferry facilities and connections Currently, there are five berths at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. The terminal primarily serves routes travelling to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, north of Victoria, and the southern Gulf Islands. On May 1, 1990, a connection from Tsawwassen to Nanaimo called the "Mid-Island Express" was established, providing the fastest surface connection between Northern Vancouver Island and the border with the United States at Blaine, and, since the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, to the Fraser Valley and points east. The route ran to Departure Bay until 1997, when the Duke Point ferry terminal opened. The quickest path between the terminal and Active Pass, for ferries travelling to the Gulf Islands or to Swartz Bay, passes over approximately 8 km (5 mi) of United States waters in the Strait of Georgia. The terminal is served by public transportation through TransLink's 620 bus route.

Delta Heritage Air Park

Delta Heritage Air Park (TC LID: CAK3) is a private aerodrome located 4.5 nautical miles (8.3 km; 5.2 mi) east of Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Several flying clubs are headquartered at the park, including branches of COPA and RAA. The park is located within Boundary Bay park and borders the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area. History The air park was established in the early 1960s and by the 1970s it housed about 120 aircraft. The 85th chapter of the Recreational Aircraft Association of Canada (RAA 85) constructed an aircraft hangar and clubhouse on the site in the 1970s. In 1995 the park was acquired by Metro Vancouver who planned on turning the land into a park. An agreement was reached between Metro Vancouver and RAA 85 to allow flying to continue within the air park. As of 2020, about 60 aircraft were stationed at the park including many antiques. The park hosts an annual fly-in. See also List of airports in the Lower Mainland References External links Delta Heritage Airpark

Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park

Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park, also known as Indian Arm Provincial Park, is a provincial park located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. The park was established on July 13, 1995 by BC Parks to protect the forested mountain terrain of Indian Arm. History In 1998, a cooperative park management agreement was signed between BC Parks and the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. In February 2010, the park name was changed from Indian Arm Provincial Park to Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park as part of a second cooperative park management agreement between BC Parks and the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. Say Nuth Khaw Yum means "Serpent’s Land" in Halkomelem, the traditional language of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. Geography Say Nuth Khaw Yum Park covers 6,689 hectares (16,530 acres) of mountainous terrain surrounding Indian Arm, an 18 kilometre long fjord that extends north from Burrard Inlet. The southeastern corner of the park surrounds most of Buntzen Lake, a small reservoir managed by BC Hydro. This park also contains a number of significant archaeological sites. Activities The park's close proximity to the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area makes it a popular destination for recreation. Popular activities include hiking, camping, kayaking, and scuba diving. The southeastern corner of the park features a well-developed trail system, most of which are rated as moderately difficult. Gallery See also Golden Ears Provincial Park References External links

Terry Fox Field

SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field is a stadium located on the campus of the Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. It currently serves as the home field of the Simon Fraser Red Leafs soccer and track and field teams. The stadium was also home venue to the Simon Fraser Red Leafs football team until the end of the program in 2023. The Red Leafs men's lacrosse club also played their home matches on Terry Fox Field, and the SFU's Department of Recreation and Athletics regularly hosts sport camps on Terry Fox Field. Naming The field is named after Terry Fox, who was once a student of Simon Fraser University and played for SFU's junior varsity basketball team. Facility information As a multi-purpose field, there are overlapping permanent markings for American football, soccer and lacrosse on Terry Fox Field. In order to accommodate the university's transition from CIS (playing Canadian football) to the NCAA (playing American football), Terry Fox Field was re-turfed in 2011, with markings for a Canadian football field replaced with markings for an American football field. Terry Fox Field's tracks are classified as an IAAF Standard Track with a water jump hurdle outside the bend. West to the field itself is a long jump facility built according to IAAF standards. Terry Fox Field had been one of the few varsity stadiums in Canada without permanent seating. However in 2021, a permanent grandstand with seating for 1,823 spectators (and room for 1,000 temporary bleachers which can be added when needed), was added. With the completion of the permanent stands, the venue's name was changed to SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field.

Muscovite Lakes Park

Der Muscovite Lakes Park ist ein 5708 Hektar großer Provinzpark im nördlichen Landesinneren der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia, im Peace River Regional District. Anlage Der Muscovite Lakes Park liegt ca. 135 km nördlich von Mackenzie, südlich des Omineca Arm, einem westlichen Seitenarm des Williston Lakes. Der Park liegt in den Ausläufern der Omineca Mountains und ist über die Finlay Forest Service Road vom Highway 97 aus zu erreichen. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein IUCN-Schutzgebiet der Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Dieser Park ist in erster Linie ein Wildnisgebiet. Geschichte Er wurde am 11. April 2001 im Rahmen des Mackenzie Land and Resource Management Plan als Schutzgebiet ausgewiesen und ist einer der jüngeren der Provincial Parks in British Columbia. Wie jedoch bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt auch für diesen, dass er lange bevor die Gegend von Einwanderern besiedelt oder sie Teil eines Parks wurde, sie Siedlungs- und/oder Jagd-/Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations, hier hauptsächlich vom Volk der Sekani, war. Bisher wurden im Park jedoch keine kulturellen Artefakte der First Nations identifiziert. Flora und Fauna Das Ökosystem von British Columbia wird mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System 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 auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb des Ökosystems von British Columbia wird das Parkgebiet der Sub-Boreal spruce Zone zugeordnet (SBS mk2). Der Park schützt eines der wenigen verbliebenen Verbreitungsgebiete der subborealen Fichte im Parsnip Trench. Zu den weiteren Besonderheiten des Parks gehören die fischfreien Seen.

Galore Creek mine

The Galore Creek project is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in Canada and in the world. The deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia along Galore Creek, a tributary of the Scud River, which in turn empties into the Stikine River. The deposit, situated within an alkalic, silica-undersaturated igneous intrusive complex, has estimated metal contents of 12 billion pounds of copper, 10.7 million oz of gold and 183.1 million oz of silver. It was owned 50% by Teck Resources and 50% by NovaGold Resources until 2018, when Newmont purchased NovaGold's share. The project is currently in care and maintenance status, managing critical safety, environmental and regulatory compliance activities. References
