  • Vancouver, B. C
    Vancouver, Canda Lively and Diverse by Nathan Brightbill, Elizabeth Powers Nature Vancouver’s Downtown Central Area (left) includes extensive waterfront greenways and parks at False Creek North and South as well as Coal Harbor and Stan- ley Park in background. Stanley Park is the fi rst park created in Vancouver. Its close downtown proximity and multitude of activi- ties make it a beloved place to visit. (photo: www.seevancou- verbc.com) Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden (below) is an urban oasis in Vancouver’s Chinatown. It is a classical Chi- nese garden run by the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden Society of Van- couver. (Photo: Nathan Brightbill). Vancouver is a city of an estimated 560,000 with a robust parks system particularly noted for its large urban open spaces, like Stanley Park, and its attention to greenways and other pedestrian amenities. The total land area is 106.7 square kilometers, exclud- ing Stanley Park which covers 3.9 square kilometers. Other parks, golf courses and open space total 11.9 square kilometers. The city’s Parks Board is unique in Canada because it is an autonomous and separately elected committee, rather than appointed by council. The board was formed during the creation of Stanley Park in 1886 (see Stanley Park: Vancouver’s First Park). Vancouver contains over 200 parks. The Parks Board mission is to “Provide, preserve and advocate for parks and recreation services to benefi t people, communities and the environment.” Parks principals are based on integrity, responsiveness, learning, leadership , inclusiveness, and accountability. Some say Vancouver is a “setting in search of a city.” The parks strategy plays a signifi cant role in maintaining integration between the city and its environment.

    CRONOLOGÍA MUNDIAL Y EUROPEA DE ATLETISMO VETERANO MASCULINO (hasta 31.12.2011) -Nueva Reglamentación 2005, o sea a partir de 35 años- Compilador: JOSÉ MARÍA GARCÍA oooooooooo I N T R O D U C C I O N NOTA 1: Como de costumbre en esta clase de estudios históricos se separa con una línea en blanco cada período olímpico. NOTA 2: Al desconocer el dato completo de la fecha de nacimiento de algunos atletas (sólo se sabe el año) no es posible determinar si en el momento de hacer su marca el año en que cumplen 35, ya tenían la edad requerida (o todavía sólo 34). NOTA 3: También hay que advertir de que a veces el desconoci- miento alcanza también al año de nacimiento (sólo a partir de los años sesenta el anuario ATFS incluye este fundamental dato, aunque sólo de los 50 primeros hasta 1968) por lo que pueden faltar, según pruebas y épocas, marcas de varios atletas, y en consecuencia tambien podrían sobrar marcas que aquí figuran. NOTA 4: Por este motivo, a veces, al inicio de cada prueba, se pone interrogación al lado de la sigla M (mundo) ante la duda de que la marca europea signifique mejor marca mundial (a veces también. se añade la interrogación a dicha marca europea). Asimismo en los períodos en que es muy probable la existencia de marcas no detectadas he puesto puntos suspensivos con inte- rrogación, así: ¿. .? NOTA 5: Se incluyen marcas ventosas (w) y de pista cubierta (i), pero la cronología sigue con marcas legales al aire libre como si dichas marcas (w/i) no existiesen.

  • Resident Slideshow
    ROSEMARY BROWN TheCanadian Press / John Goddard ROSEMARY BROWN Rosemary Brown arrived in Canada in 1951 from Kingston, Jamaica. After studying at McGill University, she attended the University of British Columbia, earning her Master of Social Work. In 1956, she helped found the British Columbia Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, which advocated for housing, employment, and human rights. Building on her work as a feminist and social justice advocate, Brown was elected to the British Columbia Legislature in 1972, first serving the Vancouver-Burrard riding and later Burnaby- Edmonds. During her time as an MLA, Brown created a committee to eradicate sexism from education material used in TheCanadian Press / John Goddard the British Columbia school curriculum. Of politics, Brown said, “women should enter politics to bring about change. It’s a tough arena, and an unpleasant one. The sacrifices called for can only be justified on the grounds that we are indeed making the world, or our community, a better place than it is.” STRATHCONA PROPERTY OWNERS & TENANTS ASSOCIATION City of Vancouver Archives STRATHCONA PROPERTY OWNERS & TENANTS ASSOCIATION While they did not work alone, the Strathcona Property Owners & Tenants Assocation was instrumental in preventing the erasure of Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood to accommodate the construction of a freeway. A multi-generational and racially diverse advocacy group, SPOTA successfully lobbied federal, provincial, and municipal politicians to halt the razing of the neighbourhood. Instead, a rehabilitation project saw the improvement of existing infrastructure, along with the construction of a new community centre and parks.

  • Sub-4 Register 2021
    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1663 athletes as of April 13, 2021) WITHIN A YEAR of the death of the first sub-4:00 miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the age of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier was already past 1550, and no country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-4 mile than the USA. Even during the COVID-ravaged year of ’21 there were 51 men who broke 4:00 indoors, of which 32 were Americans. Outdoors in ’20 there were 33 who enterprisingly did so in Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland and, of course, the USA. The total of US sub-4 milers is now 594, far ahead of Great Britain’s 215 and Kenya’s 152, with no other country yet nearing 100. The year ’21 has very soon passed another landmark, as Nick Willis, of New Zealand, has broken 4:00 for a record 19th successive year. The previous best of 18 was held by his countryman John Walker, but Steve Scott of the USA, is still the most prolific sub-4 miler in history, with 137 such times to his credit. Elsewhere, even the distant past has eventually yielded its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later! Bulgaria remains something of a mystery because another sub-four minute mile by a Bulgarian in ’92 (no venue or exact date) has only recently been caught up with! There are now 19 sets of brothers, including 5 sets of twins, and 11 sets of fathers and sons who have broken 4:00.

Further research will be carried out and this publication will be corrected and refined in future updates.
