The new plant was considered to be state of the art in that most ofthe parcel mail was moved on conveyor belt using limited bar coding. In 2008 the plant was upgraded and new state-of-the-art sorting equipment was installed in conjunction with Purolator and the sorting area was increased to 211,000 square feet. In addition to the anding upgrading of the Richmond hub the new Port Kells terminal in Langley was opened to speed up the processing of OSSlbl~l'~IeS mail for the Fraser Valley.

Following the acquisition of the Union Estates at Sechelt and the Bowen Island Resort on Bowen Island in the 1930's the multi coloured covers became much more attractive and many featured a ship and the coastal mountain scenery. Between 1930 and the start of the war in 1939 at least eight different covers were produced and these appear to have been available for mailing on board ship up till the early 1940's. At the same time the International Sea Post Cover Clu, run by C. Edwaxd Cedar of Seattle, began to actively promote "Cancelled to Order"(CTO) or "favour" covers that were often handed to the purer for mailing or for hand back. In many cases the covers never entered the mail system. Although the covers command high prices in local auctions there has been no attempt to list them. Those known to the editor are shown on the following pages and any further information, such as period of use, would be greatly appreciated.

  • 1 Historical Romance Guide Alexander, Victoria
    1 Historical Romance Guide Alexander, Victoria. “What Happens at Christmas.” Kensington Books. Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas--an official engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions. At least until Grayson Elliott comes back into her live after an absence of twelve years. (Millworth Manor #1) Alexander, Victoria. “The Importance of Being Wicked.” Zebra. For Viscount Stillwell, finding a prospective bride seemed easy, but Win soon found out endless gossip had broken all his engagements. He decided to hire a company to repair his family's fire-damaged country house. Nothing disreputable in that--until the firm's representative turns out to be a very desirable widow. Lady Miranda Garret expected a man of Win's reputation to be flirtatious, even charming. But the awkward truth is that she finds him thoroughly irresistible. For the first time, the wicked Win has fallen in love. And what began as a scandalous proposition may yet become a very different proposal. (Millworth Manor #2) Alexander, Victoria. “The Perfect Mistress.” Zebra. Widowed Julia, Lady Winterset, has inherited a book that every gentleman in London seems to want. Harrison Landingham, Earl of Mountdale, can't let the obstinate Julia release the shameless memoir that could ruin his family's name, but the only way to stop her may be equally sordid, for his rivals are intent on seducing the captivating woman to acquire the book.

  • Leisure and Sociability on Bowen Island, 1902-57
    Vancouver’s Playground: Leisure and Sociability on Bowen Island, 1902-57 J.I. Little* n the 14 September 1967 issue of the Vancouver Sun, popular Icolumnist Penny Wise waxed nostalgic: It was Saturday evening at Bowen Island, midsummer. The good ship Lady Alexandra sidled up to the long pier to disgorge close to 1,000 young passengers, all on the Moonlight Cruise to spend the night dancing at the big island pavilion. Fourteen hundred more happy people, from one to 90 years, piled onto the emptied Lady Alex to go back to Vancouver after a 10-hour day of picnicking on the half dozen well-organized Union Steamship grounds. At the luxurious Bowen Inn guests enjoyed a leisurely, late dinner. Lawn bowlers rolled the last ball of the day along the eight lovely greens. Tired riders guided the saddle horses to the barn. Hikers straggled in from the trip to beautiful Lake Killarney. Visiting launches chugged quietly in to tie up for the night. A few late swimmers swam. Beach fires started to blaze; the sun’s last glow colored the west; the moon loomed in the east. Soon from the dance pavilion came the music of Barney Potts’ band ... “How Deep is the Ocean” ... “We Just Couldn’t Say Goodby” ... “Sundown” ... “Ain’t Misbehavin’” ... It was those lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer during Bowen Island’s heyday – the mid 1930s. It was the Union Steamships [sic] Company at the peak of its passenger service, providing transportation and family fun for one and all. Now it’s all gone.

  • SS Belcarra Shipwrecked 100 Years Ago Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, March 2010
    SS Belcarra Shipwrecked 100 Years Ago Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, March 2010. (Revised: April 7, 2010) One hundred years ago, a vessel that has historical significance to Indian Arm and Belcarra was shipwrecked. At 4:00 a.m. on September 17th, 1910, the coastal steamer SS Belcarra ran onto the rocks in Jervis Inlet. At the time the SS Belcarra was owned by the Sechelt Steamship Company and was operating on the coastal run along the Sunshine Coast carrying passengers and cargo from Vancouver to Jervis Inlet with landings at Cowan‘s Point, Tunstall Bay, Grantham‘s Landing, Gibson‘s Landing, Sechelt, Secret Cove and Pender Harbour. The SS Belcarra began its life in 1902 as the single-decked coastal freighter SS Unican — the vessel was 96 feet (29.3 meters) long, 20 feet (6.1 meters) wide, with a displacement of 89 tons. The steamer was built in Vancouver for The United Canneries of British Columbia Ltd.; hence the name Unican. The Terminal Steamship Company purchased the SS Unican in 1906, overhauled the original vessel, added a new passenger cabin, and re-launched the vessel on April 1st, 1907, as the SS Belcarra with Captain Anderson of the steamer Defiance in command. Initially, the SS Belcarra ran from Vancouver five days a week in the summer and three times a week in the winter, supplying the lumber camps and summer cottages of Indian Arm. Fine New Steamer for North Arm Run — ―Belcarra‖ Successfully Launched and Christened Yesterday Vancouver Daily World, Tuesday, April 2nd, 1907. The Terminal Steamship Company, of Vancouver, now possesses a fleet of three trim steamers.

  • GREENBOOK 2019 Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Project Descriptions and Results
    GREENBOOK 2019 Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant project descriptions and results GREENBOOK 2019 It’s my honor to be able to introduce the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s (MDA) 2019 edition of the annual Greenbook. As Minnesota’s new Commissioner of Agriculture, I’m proud to support these 22 projects funded through the Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program, a component of the Agricultural Growth, Research, and Innovation (AGRI) Program. I’ve been a long-time supporter of these programs and believe the projects presented here are great examples of the innovative ideas Minnesota farmers and researchers are exploring and testing to make farming in Minnesota more productive and sustainable. Recipients were awarded up to $25,000 for forward-thinking agricultural initiatives. I can’t highlight every project here in my introduction, but I’d like to! From finding peony varieties that can grow and flourish in the north, to determining the most effective pasture types for bringing lambs to market weight in one growing season, to determining the effects of cover crops on soil temperature and soil moisture in the southwest, these projects are fundamental to the future of agriculture. The Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program is dedicated to improving and shaping the future; many of the previous grant projects have focused on practices that have become widely adopted, such as integrated pest management and cover cropping. In Greenbook 2019, you’ll meet an enthusiastic group of grantees who are focusing on ways to increase energy and labor efficiency, reduce purchased inputs, and improve both the environment and their bottom line.

  • History of the Provincial Forest Inventory Program
    A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA PROVINCIAL FOREST INVENTORY PROGRAM* PART TWO THE POGUE ERA: 1940 - 1960 Written by ROBERT E. BREADON “Too bad it isn’t morning, so we could fly at ‘er again!” Mickey Pogue et al. MAY 2017 THE ORIGINAL WORK WAS COMPLETED IN 1995 © Forest History Association of British Columbia, Victoria, B.C. *This version contains some changes made to the final edit by Jacy Eberlein, who digitized and created this file in July 2014 using a printed copy lent by Bob Breadon. Formatting, design and additional editing were carried out by John Parminter in 2016 and 2017. ii INTRODUCTION In 1991, while gathering material for articles on the early history of the Research Branch of the B.C. Forest Service, I began to realize that many old-timers of the 1920s and 1930s were still active and alert. I also discovered that several had worked in both the research and forest surveys divisions. A little more digging indicated that there were still around 30 survivors who had worked in forest surveys during the pre-war period. I felt that it would be worthwhile for someone to interview these old-timers, and preserve a record of their experiences in the B.C. Forest Service while the opportunity still existed. I discussed the matter with Dave Gilbert, Director of the current Resource Inventory Branch, and he concurred. He also felt that any history project of this nature should cover events right up to the present time. I then commenced to seek a volunteer to write the next section of the project.

    BRITIBB COLUKBUI ' ~08~3~;HIST oRY RE8EARCH GROUP . .. ., . -- Volume 13 - Number 1 Whole number 49 April 2004 LANGLEY FORT One of the problems of collecting postal history is that many covers of the 1920's have more interesting backs than fionts. Of the "Langlef' post offices, of which there are well over a dozen, the "Langley Fort", particularly with an attractive comer card is one of the hardest to find. On the other hand the back of the cover is even more interesting in that it not only listed the winners of the Live Stock Exposition but also makes reference to the Foot-and-mouth epidemic of 1914-15.
