  • From the Mill to the Hill: Race, Gender, and Nation in the Making of a French-Canadian Community in Maillardville, Bc, 1909-1939
    FROM THE MILL TO THE HILL: RACE, GENDER, AND NATION IN THE MAKING OF A FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN MAILLARDVILLE, BC, 1909-1939 by Genevieve Lapointe B.A., Universite Laval, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Genevieve Lapointe, 2007 ABSTRACT This study looks at the making of a French-Canadian community in Maillardville, British Columbia, between 1909 and 1939. Drawing on oral history transcripts, as well as textual and visual documents, From the Mill to the Hill explores how complicated and contested relations of race, class, gender, and sexuality intertwined to constitute a French-Canadian identity and community in Maillardville prior to the Second World War. Using critical discourse analysis as methodology, this study examines the narratives of 23 men and women who were interviewed in the early 1970s and lived in Maillardville in the period preceding that war. Newspaper articles, city council minutes, company records, church records, as well as historical photographs culled from various archives and a local museum, also serve as primary documents. From the Mill to the Hill argues that a French-Canadian identity and community was constructed in Maillardville between 1909 and 1939 through the racialization of bodies and spaces. Narratives about the myth of the frontier, the opposite "other," and the racialization of the space in and around the company town of Fraser Mills illustrate how identity construction operated within a gendered and racialized framework. Secondly, this study excavates the fragile "whiteness" of French Canadians as both colonizers and colonized in British Columbia.

Hall Supervisor Associate Professor Elisa Campbell External Examiner Director, Regional and Strategic Planning, Metro Vancouver Date Defended/Approved: March 11, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Originating in Vancouver, the podium-tower building typology has become a popular development model that has spread around the world. The popularity of the podium-tower arose from the successful revitalization of Vancouver’s post-industrial waterfronts and became a symbol at the root of the term “Vancouverism”. The typology’s ability to achieve high density residential neighbourhoods while also maintaining and promoting vibrant and active streetscapes has made it popular with urban planners, while the high-rise residential towers have proven popular with developers for the marketable views. This research focuses on the Vancouver style of podium-tower development and its migration to the suburban community of Coquitlam. Coquitlam’s experience with the podium-tower typology illustrates the challenges of implementing podium-tower polices, and attracting development in both new and old neighbourhoods.

  • Heritage Strategic Plan 2001
    CITY OF COQUITLAM HERITAGE STRATEGIC PLAN 2001 D O N A L D L U X T O N & Associates THE COQUITLAM HERITAGE STRATEGIC PLAN 2001-2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OVERVIEW Coquitlam enjoys a rich diverse and unique heritage. The City of Coquitlam has identified the need for a heritage strategic plan in order to identify, maintain and protect these valuable community resources. This plan outlines a priorized strategy for the development of Coquitlam's heritage conservation policies for the next five years. It answers key questions about the existing situation, defines a community vision for heritage, and recommends an Action Plan for implementation. The strategic plan asks, and answers, four key questions: • Where are we now? • Where do we want to get to? • How do we get there? • What enabling resources do we need in order to get there? Key players in the City's heritage initiatives include City Council (setting overall direction and establishing budgets); the Coquitlam Heritage Advisory Committee (established in 1998 as an advisory body to Council); the Planning and Development Department (primary responsibility for planning and built heritage initiatives); Leisure and Parks Services (responsible for maintenance of City-owned heritage buildings); and Heritage Square (Place des Arts, Mackin House Museum, and the Station Museum). HERITAGE PLANNING The City's heritage initiatives date back to 1986, when an inventory of Maillardville was first undertaken. Three years later six buildings were designated as municipal heritage sites under the Heritage Conservation Act. The City identifies an annual budget for cultural initiatives, but no specific budget for heritage conservation initiatives.
