  • 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.

    The Changing Suburbs: The Migration of Podium-Tower High Density Housing to Coquitlam by Aubrey Jensen B.A. (Regional and Urban Development), University of Saskatchewan, 2003 Research Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Aubrey Jensen 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2014 Approval Name: Aubrey Jensen Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title of Thesis: The Changing Suburbs: The Migration of Podium-Tower High Density Housing to Coquitlam Examining Committee: Chair: Anthony Perl Professor, Urban Studies Program and Department of Political Science Karen Ferguson Senior Supervisor Director, Urban Studies Program Associate Professor, Urban Studies Program and Department of History Peter V. Hall Supervisor Associate Professor Elisa Campbell External Examiner Director, Regional and Strategic Planning, Metro Vancouver Date Defended/Approved: March 11, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Originating in Vancouver, the podium-tower building typology has become a popular development model that has spread around the world. The popularity of the podium-tower arose from the successful revitalization of Vancouver’s post-industrial waterfronts and became a symbol at the root of the term “Vancouverism”. The typology’s ability to achieve high density residential neighbourhoods while also maintaining and promoting vibrant and active streetscapes has made it popular with urban planners, while the high-rise residential towers have proven popular with developers for the marketable views. This research focuses on the Vancouver style of podium-tower development and its migration to the suburban community of Coquitlam. Coquitlam’s experience with the podium-tower typology illustrates the challenges of implementing podium-tower polices, and attracting development in both new and old neighbourhoods.
