Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia
Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia by Michael Ryan and George W. Douglas Wildlife Bulletin No. B-91 March 1999 British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, has a bounty of biological diversity. British Columbia’s snowclad peaks, rain-drenched forests, arid grasslands, all sizes of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and a long and rugged coast provide habitats for more species of living organisms than are found anywhere else in Canada. However, this very diversity means that there is much to be discovered about these organisms — their distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and interrelationships with their environment. Increasing our knowledge of this biodiversity will help us with the complex task of sustainably managing our land and waters. In 1992, the Provincial Government initiated a co-operative biodiversity research program with funding from the Corporate Resource Inventory Initia- tive, the British Columbia Ministries of Forests (Research Branch), Environment, Lands, and Parks (Wildlife and Habitat Protection Branches), and Tourism and Culture (Royal B.C. Museum); and the Forest Resource Develop- ment Agreement (FRDA II). In 1996, funding from Forest Renewal BC (FRBC) was received for a biodiversity research extension proposal. One goal of the original research program, and more recently the FRBC extension project, is to extend information to scientists, resource managers, and the public through biodiversity publications. These publications are intended to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity, promote the concepts and importance of conserving biodiversity, and communicate provincial government initiatives related to biodiversity. We hope that they will be used as tools for the conservation of British Columbia’s rich, living legacy. -

THE CANADIAN RAIL A. THE CHATEAU STYLE HOTELS 32 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 18:2 WAY HOTEL REVISITED: OF ROSS & MACFARLANE 18.2 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 33 Figure 6 (previous page). Promotional drawing of the Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, showing (left to right) the Parliament Buildings, Post Office, Chateau Laurier Hotel, and Central Union Passenger Station. Artist unknown, ca. 1912. (Ottawa City Archives, CA7633) Figure 1 (right). Chateau Frontenac Hotel, Quebec City, 1892-93; Bruce Price, architect. (CP Corporate Archives, A-4989) TX ~h the construction of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel in 1892-93 on the heights of r r Quebec City (figure 1), American architect Bruce Price (1845-1903) introduced the chateau style to Canada. Built for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the monumental hotel estab lished a precedent for a series of distinctive railway hotels across the country that served to as sociate the style with nationalist sentiment well into the 20th century.1 The prolonged life of the chateau style was not sustained by the CPR, however; the company completed its last chateauesque hotel in 1908, just as the mode was being embraced by the CPR's chief com petitor, the Grand Trunk Railway. How the chateau style came to be adopted by the GTR, and how it was utilized in three major hotels- the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, and the Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton -was closely related to the background and rise to prominence of the architects, Montreal natives George Allan Ross (1879-1946) and David Huron MacFarlane (1875-1950). According to Lovell's Montreal City Directory, 1900-01, George Ross2 worked as a draughtsman in the Montreal offices of the GTR, which was probably his first training in ar chitecture, and possibly a consideration when his firm later obtained the contracts for the GTR hotels. -

Colwood Meeting Portal
Colwood City of CoIwood REPORT File: RZ-16-007 and DVP-17-010 Date: 3/21/2017 To: Director of Planning From: Planner To: Planning and Land Use Committee Date: 4/4/2017 RE: 324 Goldstream Avenue — Rezoning Text Amendment and Development Variance Permit Application 1. SUMMARY The applicant, Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA), is preparing to subdivide 324 Goldstream Avenue in order to support the development of an affordable housing complex with 104 units by the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). Accordingly, an application for a zoning text amendment for the property located at 324 Goldstream Avenue has been requested to delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), include Attached Housing to the list of permitted uses, remove the commercial requirement, and minor administrative changes. Further to this, GVHS is seeking relaxations to the front yard setback, to the side yard setback, and to delete the requirement for sloped roofs. GVHS is also requesting financial support from the City of Colwood with regard to affordable housing; the request for financial support beyond what is available within the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund may be challenging given Colwood's existing tax base. This application is being presented to the Committee for a recommendation to Council concerning a rezoning text amendment and a development variance permit application. 2. OVERVIEW 2.1 Application Information Applicant: Mitzi Dean for Pacific Centre Family Services Association Location: 345 Wale Road Legal: Lot 1, District 1, Esquimalt District, Plan EPP64418 Existing Zoning: Towncentre Mixed Use (C8A) Zone Proposed Zoning: No change with "Attached Housing" as a permitted use Existing OCP Land Use: City Centre Proposed OCP Land Use: No Change DP Areas: Form and Character — Centres Guidelines and General Intensive Multi-family & Commercial Guidelines 2.2 Purpose The purpose of this rezoning is to permit the construction of an affordable rental-housing complex on the subject property.
