  • Self-Guiding Geology Tour of Stanley Park
    Page 1 of 30 Self-guiding geology tour of Stanley Park Points of geological interest along the sea-wall between Ferguson Point & Prospect Point, Stanley Park, a distance of approximately 2km. (Terms in bold are defined in the glossary) David L. Cook P.Eng; FGAC. Introduction:- Geomorphologically Stanley Park is a type of hill called a cuesta (Figure 1), one of many in the Fraser Valley which would have formed islands when the sea level was higher e.g. 7000 years ago. The surfaces of the cuestas in the Fraser valley slope up to the north 10° to 15° but approximately 40 Mya (which is the convention for “million years ago” not to be confused with Ma which is the convention for “million years”) were part of a flat, eroded peneplain now raised on its north side because of uplift of the Coast Range due to plate tectonics (Eisbacher 1977) (Figure 2). Cuestas form because they have some feature which resists erosion such as a bastion of resistant rock (e.g. volcanic rock in the case of Stanley Park, Sentinel Hill, Little Mountain at Queen Elizabeth Park, Silverdale Hill and Grant Hill or a bed of conglomerate such as Burnaby Mountain). Figure 1: Stanley Park showing its cuesta form with Burnaby Mountain, also a cuesta, in the background. Page 2 of 30 Figure 2: About 40 million years ago the Coast Mountains began to rise from a flat plain (peneplain). The peneplain is now elevated, although somewhat eroded, to about 900 metres above sea level. The average annual rate of uplift over the 40 million years has therefore been approximately 0.02 mm.

  • Demographic Contributors to Property Crime in the Lower Mainland District
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND SOCIO- DEMOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTORS TO PROPERTY CRIME IN THE LOWER MAINLAND DISTRICT Dr. Irwin M. Cohen, Dr. Garth Davies, Kevin Burk, and Christine Neudecker August 2016 Introduction According to the data presented by police leaders at the September 29th, 2015 Metro Vancouver Crime Meeting, property crime increased for the second consecutive year in the Lower Mainland District (LMD) of British Columbia. Of the 22 RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions that comprise the LMD, it was reported that, between January and August 2015, 13 had experienced an increase in their property crime rates over the previous year, and that this trend was a continuation of the trend that saw a general increase in property crime rates in 2014 from 2013. Not surprisingly, the sudden increase in property crime over the past two years has resulted in a search for explanations. Several lines of inQuiry must be considered to better understand property crime. In particular, attention must be paid to the contextual differences that differentiate not just one municipality from other, but also the different neighbourhoods within the same municipality, which vary significantly in terms of their levels of crime. To talk about property crime in a city as a whole may mask important variations across communities and neighbourhoods. Given what research has found in other cities, it is possible that the effects of socio-demographic and socio-economic factors vary more within cities than between cities. Given this, the focus of this report includes a) how each municipality in the Lower Mainland District compares to each other, and b) identifying the “neighbourhood effects” that also contribute to fluctuations in property crime within single municipalities.
