  • 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.

Report Purpose: This report provides an update on the Town Centre Park ("TCP") Master Plan process and is intended to inform Council of the upcoming public consultation process. Strategic Goal: By creating a long-term plan for the amenities, facilities and infrastructure that supports the sport, recreational and cultural activities in the City's premier park, this initiative supports the City's corporate strategic goals of "Increasing active participation and creativity", "Enhancing sustainability of City services and infrastructure" and "Achieving excellence in governance". This project is identified as "B" Priority in the 2016 Business Plan. Background: Once the location of a gravel pit, the lands containing Town Centre Park were part of a historic industrial site that was reclaimed for public recreational use. TCP is now one of Coquitlam's largest urban parks at 42 hectares (103 acres) which serves both the City Centre neighbourhood and act as a City-wide destination park while also drawing visitors from across the Tri-Cities area. The innovative public/private partnership to repurpose the historical industrial space was the catalyst for development in City Centre and led to the opening of the City's premier park in 1989.
