Our focus from September 2000 consisted of creating a detailed map of the Seymour area that is located in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) on the North Shore Mountains. From a suggestion of the LSCR staff and BCIT instructors, we narrowed the spectrum of the mapping project to cover just the recreational trails within the LSCRs East Side Trail Network (East Side). The LSCR felt this mapping would be beneficial in order to update a map of the area that had been created about one year ago based on estimations of lengths and locations of trails. Information collected on the trails included: • Horizontal distance • Slope distance • Slope percent • Azimuth bearing • Pictures This data was collected using a Criterion 400 laser instrument and downloaded into “Softrees RoadEng” where it was manipulated to link all the trails together to form one map of the East Side. The trails were accurately located by referencing the beginning and endings points of the trails to Ground Control Monuments that we established in the East Side using a “Trimble” Global Positioning System. A large portion of this report consists of the appendices, which provide field notes. Also included in the report are maps, elevation profiles, and pictures of some of the biking stunts on the East Side Trails. An excel spreadsheet that lists the trail names with pertinent information about them can be found at the end of the report. Crewmembers Tony Botica, Patrick Kaiser, and Mark McGough provided the effort necessary to produce an accurate 1:5000 digital map of the East Side of the LSCR. Each member took on various responsibilities throughout the project to balance tasks both large and small. Introduction Background Our project consisted of mapping the highly used recreational trails within the East Side of the LSCR. This project was selected from a list of projects, which the LSCR wanted more information on. The LSCR staff felt precise mapping of the East Side area was required in order to update the existing map of the trails to provide a more accurate representation of where the trails were located and how they linked to each other. Some trails had never been mapped at all, these included routes that had been recently discovered and trails, due to new and the ongoing construction of trails. We took this project upon ourselves because of the useful application it had to the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD), LSCR and the numerous recreational users of the area. To add information on each trail we recorded the locations of mountain bike stunts as well as a categorizing them by type, for example “boardwalk.” The LSCR is located within the North Shore Mountains where numerous recreation trails exist. Before even the notion of recreation potentials existed in the area, large-scale forest operations took place on Seymour Mountain. The old logging and skid trails helped provide some of the framework for the trails that exist today. Artifacts from old logging operations and living areas can still be found on some of the trails most noticeably “TNT” with the old dynamite shack. The LSCR was established in 1987 formerly being known as the Seymour Demonstration Forest. Before 1987, the area was closed to the public because it part of the Seymour Watershed that helps supply all of Vancouver’s drinking water. The entire LSCR area is operated by the GVRD who allocated it for recreation and education purposes. The use of trails in this area has been on the rise since its opening to the public fourteen years ago. Activities in the LSCR include hiking, biking, roller blading, horseback riding, and fishing as well as plenty of other outdoor activities. Mainly the hiking and biking group of LSCR users uses the East Side trails. Objectives From the beginning of our project, we stated clear objectives, which were to: 1. Locate Ground Control monuments to tie into 2. Identify major trails to be mapped 3. Survey each trail for: horizontal distances, azimuth bearings, slope percent, bridges, boardwalks, jumps, trail crossings 4. Download field data collected from the “Criterion” to “Softtrees RoadEng” 5. Tag trail intersections with GVRD tags 6. Create a database with field work information 7. Digitize trails with Arc info 8. Overlay the map onto the existing East Seymour map The finished product we wanted to produce included: 1. A 1:5000 digital map of recreational trails in the LSCR to be overlaid upon a pre-existing map that contains contours, trails, roads, and other features. 2. A map file to the GVRD so they can plot newly added trails at their discretion. 3. A final report explaining

  • 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.

  • A Story from Seymour Mountain's History
    A story from Seymour Mountain’s history When you hike or snowshoe out to the bluffs we call Dog Mountain, do you stop at First Lake, look up and see the red cabin and wonder, “Why is it there? Who uses it? How do I get to it?” One day John Heinonen was talking about it with Louise Archibald, a librarian with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Imagine his surprise when she said, “My uncle and his friends built that cabin.” Her uncle, Edward Rayner, is now in his 80s and lives in Roberts Creek. John encouraged Louise to visit her Cabin on Seymour Mountain, circa late 1940s uncle to learn more about the cabin and its history. Louise has fond memories of the years when her family used to go for hikes and blueberry picking on Seymour Mountain. ”The hike to the cabin was a lot of fun with all the cousins and sometimes friends along too. In groups of up to 30 of all ages, we’d have simple picnics in and around the cabin with the little lake below it and the whiskey jacks begging for food. There were lots of places for kids to climb and it has such a gorgeous view, you always felt wonderful after a day like that.” Louise interviewed Uncle Ted on February 6, 2011. Here are his recollections. Ted started hiking up Seymour Mountain1 when he was 15 years old (about 1938). He and four friends around the same age, who all lived near each other in the Vancouver Heights2 area, would cycle to the bottom of the mountain near Deep Cove, hide their bikes in the bush and hike all the way up the mountain by trail.

Our staff team rose to the challenge that only a global pandemic can bring. We developed new policies, created new health and safety plans, revised these plans, and revised them yet again. We created new programs, revised old programs, moved online and outdoors, despite some excessive wind and rain. The weather may have destroyed our tent, but it did not destroy our ingenuity! We waited in anticipation for each new announcement from the Health Authorities, which inevitably created more challenges and complications as we scrambled to continue serving our community within the confines of ever-changing constraints.

    The Fifth Dimension A comprehensive analysis of the multifamily real estate market in Metropolitan Vancouver Second Quarter - 2016 August 2016 DATA PROVIDED BY: COMPLIMENTS OF WELCOME TO THE FIFTH DIMENSION The Fifth Dimension is brought to you compliments of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Limited, a full service, residential real estate sales and project marketing organization with over 36 years of experience. Each year the Second Quarter edition of The Fifth Dimension marks the passing of the half way point of the year. Thus, in addition to the concise and comprehensive analysis of the multifamily residential real estate market in Metropolitan Vancouver to this point in the year, we offer additional observations and interpretations of market conditions and share projections through to 2016. This includes our perspective with respect to the abrupt introduction of a tax levied on foreign buyers. To ensure the supporting data is objectively collected and presented we collaborate with the highly regarded Urban Analytics (UA) a leading provider of advisory services on the new multifamily home market. UA has been tracking the new multifamily home market in Metropolitan Vancouver since 1994 and has been a vital contributor to this report since its inception in the First Quarter of 2010. The movie industry is certainly active in the Metro Vancouver Area these days. This industry always targets the late Spring and Summer for the launch of its latest blockbusters. Somewhat facetiously, I have noted, this year was no different with the release of such “epics” as Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War, Finding Dory, Jason-Bourne; Independence Day: Resurgence, Suicide Squad and X-Men: Apocalypse.
