My brother picks me up at the airport and we tool into town on his motor bike. He picks a winding route along the Fraser River, on back streets through RichmondM U-pick blueberry fields to Number 5 Road where we cross the mighty Fraser in darkness, rattling over the rickety board deck of the Fraser River Bridge, just dangerous inches above the churning black waters. The Fraser is filled with log booms, its banks crowded with belching sawmills. We pass mysterious pyramidal silhouettes of beehive burners and exotic crews of turbaned lumber sorters moiling their midnight green chain. It’s a cool for August 1969 evening as we putt through drizzled streets lined with old wood frame clapboard houses. We arrive at his place on West 7th Avenue just off Pine Street. He lives next door to Big Pink, the Alexandra House, a one time orphanage that looks like an oversize, post Victorian institutional version of the surrounding houses but painted pink and now used as a community centre. My brother tells me that if it were a clear night that we’d see the mountains but tonight it’s overcast and all I see is the rotating information tower on the Molson’s brewery. The sign has three sides with data spelled out in light bulbs; one with the temperature, one with the time and one with a four letter word to describe the weather – it reads DULL.

Address: Lot 7B (The Viaduct Site) False Creek North WORKSHOP Use: Residential Zoning: FCN - CD-1 Application Status: Rezoning Architect: James Cheng Owner: Concord Pacific Review: First Delegation: James Cheng, Bill Steinberg Staff: Jonathan Barrett, Michael Gordon • Introduction: The Development Planner, Jonathan Barrett, presented this preliminary rezoning proposal. He first reviewed the context of this very large site, bounded by Expo Boulevard and Beatty, Georgia and Dunsmuir Streets, noting also that part of the overall concept is to ultimately provide a strong pedestrian connection on the axis of Georgia Street. Among the challenges for the site are that it becomes part of the Downtown entry and egress, and continues the city grid. Since over 1,000 residential units are proposed, both market and non-market, the project also seeks to create a residential neighbourhood. Another major aspect of the proposal is the road system. The attempt is to “tame” the Dunsmuir and Georgia Street viaducts with the introduction of traffic signals and pedestrian crossings to reduce the speed of traffic. A fairly complex pedestrian system is also anticipated, noting the existing conditions of the large crowds associated with the adjacent BC Place and GM Place stadiums as well as the connecting bridges to the ALRT station.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Publications by an authorized administrator of Allard Research Commons. PROPERTY AND SOVEREIGNTY: AN INDIAN RESERVE AND A CANADIAN CITY DOUGLAS C. HARRIS' I. PROPERTY AND SOVEREIGNTY Property rights, wrote Morris Cohen in 1927, are not about things, but about relations "between the owner and other individuals in reference to things.", The law of property constructs a particular set of relationships between people, and, in the case of private property, he continued, its "essence" is "always the right to exclude".2 This right, enforceable by the state, confers power on its holder-"the owner"-over others. As a result, state allotted property interests, which arise from the exercise of state sovereignty, are also delegations of power, of sovereignty. Cohen insisted, therefore, that "property and sovereignty" were to be understood together, and not confined to different spheres of private and public law.

    6 FIELD ENGINEER SQUADRON MUSEUM ASSOCIATION Museum Newsletter March 2018 After a lengthy hiatus we are pleased to announce that the Museum Newsletter has returned. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE After a long absence from the Vancouver area I have moved back to the Lower Mainland and am able to once again be involved with my old unit. My military history: - I joined 6 Field Engineer Squadron as a sapper in early 1958 and finished as a Brigadier General and Colonel Commandant of the Engineers several years later. Along the way I did a few things. I have been a life member of the Museum for many years but since moving to New Westminster have been able to actively participate and am pleased to join an executive that has accomplished so much. The museum executive is now poised to begin a new growth phase. The recent successful Octoberfest greatly helped our funding situation and is only the start of steps to come. We are also striving for a wider readership. Read the section on “Lost Trails” and help us expand our distribution. Please give us the contact information for any former members and anyone who would be interested in being kept up to date on the museum and the Regiment. Plans are underway for a larger outreach footprint to include exhibits at Regiment units in Chilliwack and Trail. In addition, we are hoping to organize more frequent social events to allow our “friends” to view museum progress and visit with each other. Also, the initiatives to become an official Canadian Forces Museum offer promise of great things in the future.

Department of rmfgft The University of Britisish CColumbic a Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The interwar militia in Vancouver is a poorly understood institution, partly because scholars have come to associate the militia with militarism. However, the militia has important non-military functions and the interwar militia regiments were more than social clubs. This thesis compared the activities of two of Vancouver's militia regiments by examining their archival holdings to see if they had documentary evidence to support the notion that they functioned as a proto-fraternal society during the interwar period. The militia regiments functioned as fraternal associations providing mutual aid as well as congeniality.

Memorial Park, Esquimalt Vancouver Island outside Greater Victoria Some significant examples of artillery preserved elsewhere in B.C. An Introduction to the History of Artillery in B.C. In 1778 Captain Cook became the first European known to have set foot in what would become British Columbia. Cook’s ships were former merchantmen that had been acquired by the Royal Navy specifically for his voyages of exploration, but as part of their refit for these voyages, they were armed with twelve 6-pounder smooth bore (SB) cannon and twelve swivel guns for protection. When Cook’s crew told stories of the profits they made selling sea otter skins from Nootka in China, they were soon followed by fur traders whose ships were also armed with cannon. The first fortification constructed by European’s in British Columbia was built at Nootka by the Spanish in 1789 in a belated attempt to assert their authority over the northwest coast of North America. Fort St. Miguel is reported to have mounted 16 guns. Spain’s actions led to a quick response from Britain, and by the terms of the Nootka Convention the Spanish withdrew from Nootka in 1795.
