declining birth rates or rising life expectancy. It can be predicted that this population growth will allow for more students to be enrolled in VSB schools, thus making the Resource Use and Waste reduction plan a more influential initiative to Vancouver. It will also allow more people to be aware of the issues of waste management. The hypothesis is that the combination…

The city of Vancouver is a historical area that was developed from a small trading post. The area underwent a serious expansion after the discovery of gold in the local area. The expansion of the area has made Vancouver a recognizable city across the country.

As Vancouver has…

a panic as the run from the parking stall to the entrance that was much further than you had originally expected. Those cold, wet fall days in Vancouver were just beginning. You’ve lived on the west coast for your entire life, this weather wasn’t new to you, but still you are as unprepared as someone would be if they had moved from California to Vancouver.

So far, I have listened to all the entries of the historical recordings of The Vancouver Soundscape. Track one is a recording of ocean sounds.

When I click to start, I hear sea-water lapping against the sea shore gently. The ocean sings a “ sha-la-la-la ” and there is no wind. All I can hear is the patting of water, clear and…

be sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows and singing Kumbaya. Well, for one night at least. The Islanders eased tensions among the Barclays Center faithful and within their own locker room with last night’s 4-2 win over the sinking Vancouver Canucks in Brooklyn. To add to the good vibes was Jason Chimera and Andrew Ladd finally getting off the snide and scoring their first goals of the 2016-17 campaign, a campaign that last week looked to match the drama and unrest of the…

I chose the Vancouver Aquarium because it is known to be the largest aquarium in all of Canada and gives us a clear representation of why the Pacific Maritime is famous for their sea animals. One of Pacific Maritime’s most popular attraction is whale-watching but instead of making a game out of it and risk not seeing a whale, the Vancouver Aquarium represents the whales in a historic way. This particular Aquarium has a long past with whales like the killer whale, Moby Doll who was the second…
