  • City Stories: from Narrative to Practice in Vancouver's
    CITY STORIES: FROM NARRATIVE TO PRACTICE IN VANCOUVER’S OLYMPIC VILLAGE by Lisa Michelle Westerhoff M.A., University of Guelph, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2015 © Lisa Michelle Westerhoff, 2015 Abstract Calls for a more thoughtful and wholehearted inclusion of the humanities and social sciences in defining and answering questions of sustainability have highlighted the importance of integrating a more comprehensive range of values, knowledges and perspectives into our efforts to transition towards sustainable societies. Far from an abstract gesture, such a shift has practical implications for the way sustainability policies and projects are conceived and carried out, including the design and assessment of urban sustainable neighbourhoods. In this dissertation, I show that the study of narrative offers a potent means of untangling the underlying assumptions and meanings embedded within decisions and characterizations of sustainability and sustainable neighbourhoods, which I explore in the context of Vancouver’s Olympic Village. I tell the story of this unique urban development from the perspectives of the many voices that have created it, from its first planners to its present beneficiaries. By combining narrative with insights and methods from social practice theories, I show how the sustainable intentions of the Olympic Village have challenged and intersected with the lived narratives of its residents and managers, two key constituencies in the neighbourhood’s unfolding. I investigate the neighbourhood as an intervention both structural and symbolic to reveal the normative (i.e.

  • Things to Do in Vancouver
    Stanley Park Stanley Park is a 1,001-acre public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada and is almost entirely surrounded by the waters of Vancouver Harbour and English Bay. The park has a long history and was one of the first places to be explored in the city. The land was originally used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years before British Columbia was colonized by the British during the 1858 Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. For many years after colonization, the future park with its abundant resources would also be home to non-aboriginal settlers. It was named after Lord Stanley, a British politician who had recently been appointed governor general. Unlike other large urban parks, Stanley Park is not the creation of a landscape architect, but rather the evolution of a forest and urban space over many years. Most of the manmade structures today were built between 1911 and 1937 under the influence of Superintendent W.S. Rawlings. Additional attractions, such as a polar bear exhibit, aquarium, and miniature train, were added in the post-war period. Much of the park remains as densely forested as it was in the late 1800s, with about a half million trees, some of which stand as tall as 76 metres (249ft) and are up to hundreds of years old. Thousands of trees were lost (and many replanted) after three major windstorms that took place in the past 100 years, the last in 2006. Significant effort was put into constructing the near-century-old Vancouver Seawall, which draws thousands of residents and visitors to the park every day.

  • Things to Know About Visiting Vancouver
    Things to know about visiting Vancouver Where is Vancouver? Vancouver is situated in South Western Canada in the province of British Columbia and lies on the coast of the Pacific Ocean where it is sheltered from any extreme weather by Vancouver Island. The airport to fly into is Vancouver International Airport (YVR) From there, there are 2 main ways to go: take a taxi, or take the Skytrain. The taxi will cost about $35 Cdn (there is a fixed rate to various areas in Vancouver: no meter is used.) For Skytrain information, check the Translink website: www.translink.ca. The hosting studio is Semperviva Sea Studio at Granville Island Located at 200-1333 Johnston Street on Granville Island. To find the studio, go up the stairs to the second floor. If the door there is locked, come back down the stairs and use the elevator in the lobby. The phone number is (604) 739 2009. Parking is free until 11am and there are spots right beside the studio. From 11 am to 6 pm, parking costs $3/hour. Getting around There are no ride-sharing companies in B.C., which means no Uber or Lyft. There are plenty of taxis and buses, however. Yellow Cab – 604-681-1111 Black Top Cabs – 604-731-111 For Bus and Skytrain information check the Translink website: www.translink.ca. There are also Car2Go, Zipcar, Evo and Modo.
