  • Self-Guiding Geology Tour of Stanley Park
    Page 1 of 30 Self-guiding geology tour of Stanley Park Points of geological interest along the sea-wall between Ferguson Point & Prospect Point, Stanley Park, a distance of approximately 2km. (Terms in bold are defined in the glossary) David L. Cook P.Eng; FGAC. Introduction:- Geomorphologically Stanley Park is a type of hill called a cuesta (Figure 1), one of many in the Fraser Valley which would have formed islands when the sea level was higher e.g. 7000 years ago. The surfaces of the cuestas in the Fraser valley slope up to the north 10° to 15° but approximately 40 Mya (which is the convention for “million years ago” not to be confused with Ma which is the convention for “million years”) were part of a flat, eroded peneplain now raised on its north side because of uplift of the Coast Range due to plate tectonics (Eisbacher 1977) (Figure 2). Cuestas form because they have some feature which resists erosion such as a bastion of resistant rock (e.g. volcanic rock in the case of Stanley Park, Sentinel Hill, Little Mountain at Queen Elizabeth Park, Silverdale Hill and Grant Hill or a bed of conglomerate such as Burnaby Mountain). Figure 1: Stanley Park showing its cuesta form with Burnaby Mountain, also a cuesta, in the background. Page 2 of 30 Figure 2: About 40 million years ago the Coast Mountains began to rise from a flat plain (peneplain). The peneplain is now elevated, although somewhat eroded, to about 900 metres above sea level. The average annual rate of uplift over the 40 million years has therefore been approximately 0.02 mm.

  • Welcome to Vancouver
    View from Dunsmuir Campus (Photo by Janine Armstrong) Welcome to Vancouver Vancouver lies in a region of more than 2 million people which makes it the largest city in the province of British Columbia and is currently the third largest city in Canada. Vancouver is framed by ocean on three sides and nestled inside white peaked Coastal Range mountains that rise behind the city to more than 1,500 m. Vancouver has one of the mildest climates in Canada where temperatures average 3 C in January and 18 C in July. It does rain quite a bit in Vancouver in winter, but this also adds to the high quality skiing in the surrounding mountains, some as close as a 20 minute drive from downtown. Vancouver is a playground for children and adults alike. Indulge in the award-winning restaurants and eater- ies. Stroll down the streets of one of the many trendy fashionable clothing areas of the city. Visit some of the best antique stores, museums, art galleries and theatres in the world. Some of Vancouver's most popular destinations are its public parks like the world famous Stanley Park, sandy beaches like Kitsilano beach, and natural splendours like grouse mountain or Capilano Suspension Bridge, that are easily accessible from Vancouver. Vancouver BC Climate Vancouver is fortunate to be located nestled between the Coastal Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Since the normally harsh Canadian winters often include sub-zero temperatures in both celcius and farentheight, Vancouver has the distinction of being the largest Canadian city without having to suffer the injustices of a freezing cold winter.

    MAMMALS OF VANCOUVER AND POINT GREY Summary of Historical and Current Occurrence Records Nick Page, Raincoast Applied Ecology, 2012 Scientific Name Common Name Presence Notes and Comments Historical Current DEER AND ELK Cervus canadensis roosevelti Roosevelt Elk P NP Extirpated from the Vancouver area over 100 years ago; recorded from early Vancouver in swamps and grassy wetlands including Kitsilano, Douglas Park, and False Creek flats (Matthews, 2011); elk hunting increased with expanding local population in the 1880s resulting in extirpation; in the middle to late 1800s "Chief Capilano got thirteen in one day at the head of False Creek, and shipped their carcasses to Victoria" (Matthews, 2011). Odocoileus hemionus Columbian Black- P NP Extirpated from Vancouver and Point Grey; rare migrants from Burnaby or North columbianus tailed Deer Vancouver (“residents of East Van’s Cedar Cottage neighbourhood found an adult deer trapped in a fenced-in construction site” (no date: Dunphy, 2009)); an informant recorded by Matthews (2011) in 1931 stated “Father shot deer on Little Mountain [now Queen Elizabeth Park] in 1912”; deer appear to have been extirpated from Point Grey in the 1980s; Newell (1983) noted: “there are anecdotal accounts of deer and deer sign on the endowment lands particularly along 16th Avenue”; “According to longtime Fraserview residents, the last fawn born in Fraserview was attacked and killed by dogs in the mid 1970s (Urbantreefrog Blog, 2011). CARNIVORES Canis latrans Coyote NP? P Present throughout Vancouver and Point Grey; Coyotes have expanded into Vancouver relatively recently from Lower Fraser Valley: "Coyotes first arrived in the City of Vancouver in the 1980s although they had been in the surrounding areas since the 1930s" (SPES, 2010); Merilees (1988) stated that “coyotes were originally present [in Stanley Park], then disappeared, and now have again become resident”, although this is unconfirmed; Cowan (1930) did not record them from Point Grey in the 1920s.
