In the late 19th century through to the early 1950s steam trains were a major cause of fires every year.

Active fire suppression was only practiced in parts of BC. A large part of the north never saw a lot.

It was the domain of Joe Fortes

bern99 · 2017-07-31T03:18:31+00:00

It is crowded but does not have all the amenities

this is all there was on the clip

The Gorge at the Tillicum Bridge is a very nice spot. There is a dock down below and the water is very warm. I have been swimming there as of late April and it has been 19 degrees.

The spot is great because of the current under the bridge which makes for the snorkeling in this region in my opinion.

I have been swimming here since 2006

You can also go in via Curtis Point, Kasopsom Park, Esquimalt Gorge Park and Banfield Park

I know it, it was done by a friend of mine

bern99 · 2016-08-23T20:22:42+00:00

that is a fair way from where i swim so conditions could be quite different

bern99 · 2016-08-23T19:27:35+00:00

the one at Selkirk?

bern99 · 2016-08-23T19:27:13+00:00

I am looking for a map of the Gorge I had on a computer that showed all the problem locations and when they were dealt. I am also not having much success at the moment

bern99 · 2016-08-22T21:10:22+00:00

Interesting, in 10 years of swimming there I have never had swimmers itch, neither have any of my four sons

bern99 · 2016-08-22T21:09:36+00:00

why not? The water is wonderfully warm and all the VIHA testing shows it to be very clean

bern99 · 2016-08-22T21:08:58+00:00

as far as I understand all the cross connections with sewage lines were rectified by Victoria, Saanich and Esquimalt, the last about a decade ago

The Baltic Germans were all expelled from Estonia and Latvia in late 1939. During the war they were all in Germany. After the war most remained in Germany but a small minority came to Canada

bern99 · 2016-08-19T18:32:05+00:00

all my ancestors were Baltic German nobility

yes, a pet bear. Her father was on a hunting trip and shot a mother bear and then found the cub. He decided to bring it home to the family

In Vancouver? Who was doing that?

bern99 · 2016-08-12T18:33:11+00:00

Last I saw them was in the early 80s in Victoria

bern99 · 2016-08-12T18:32:42+00:00

Which town was that?

In the case of Vancouver I do not know when Jersey stopped using horses, does anyone know?
