It is within the central part of the Kootenay Arc, a north-trending arcuate structural zone that lies east of the Shuswap MetamorphicComplex and merges in the east with the Purcell anticlinorium. Rocks within theRiondel area havebeen correlated with a Lower Paleozoic sequence exposed along the trend of the arc to the north and south. This sequence includes domi- nantlyquartzite andschist of theHamill Group, overlain by interlayered calcareous schist, quartzite, and marble of the Mohican Formation, a persistent and extensive Lower Cambrian marble, the Badshot Formation, and dominantly micaceous schist, calc-silicate gneiss, and amphibolite gneiss of the basal part of the Lardeau Group. The structure of the area is dominated by a series of west-dipping tight toisoclinal folds (Phase 2) that are superposed on the inverted underlimb ofan earlier recumbent anticlinal structure, named theRiondel nappe.

    Robert Sommers: the Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in The

    The Atlas: UBC Undergraduate Journal of World History | 2004 The Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Early History of Vancouver ROBERT SOMMERS British Columbia’s entry into Confederation in 1871 was contingent upon the construction of a national railway. For the rest of that decade, however, the debate raged as to where the terminus would be, with the province’s two leading urban centres, New Westminster and Victoria, vying for the prize. At that time, the town where Vancouver stands today was known as Granville or Gastown, and was full of impassable forests, was a remote location, and had land so cheap that it traded for a dollar an acre. Finally, in 1882, when Burrard Inlet was announced as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) terminus, Port Moody went wild with land speculation. However, the provincial government had other plans. Desiring an extension of the railway all the way to Coal Harbour, the province made the CPR an offer it could not refuse: more than ten square miles (6458 acres) of land in return for an extension of the rail line and for CPR construction of works and docks by the railroad terminus. The Canadian Pacific, led by William Cornelius Van Horne, quickly agreed. It wanted to extend its line anyway because Port Moody lacked sufficient room for the railway to operate: it did not own an acre outside of the limited rail yard and the Second Narrows was not considered a safe passage for ships. The CPR thus became the richest landowner in town, the speculative land market in Port Moody immediately collapsed – only to rise in Granville – and Gastown boomed, becoming a city on April 6, 1886.
