Stop Censorship

No. 2830 - 11 Sept 2007 - 20:17:39

The internet crack-down will not be about piracy or democracy but rather good old-fashioned control of the few over the many.

No Dogs (In The Playground)

No. 8404 - 08 Sept 2011 - 19:27:14



Renovations to Grandview Park are almost complete. The area around the cenotaph has been opened up for people to congregate and the enlarged playground has been moved downhill - closer to the daycare and school zones of Britannia Community Centre. The new public washrooms hut is charming but the doors face out to Commercial Drive
(I find this as odd as an apartment or house design with a
WC at the front entrance way).
The renewed park space is open, clean, attractive and mostly unchanged from its original design and purpose.

ParkOvergrowingFourHouses

No. 3644 - 07 Jun 2011 - 20:36:28

This park and the four houses on its eastern side were the first subjects of an iPhoto Bookmark project begun five years ago. ParkOnFourHouses is due a retrospective look and perhaps indicates a return to an early interest in the small architecture of Vancouver's historic east side.

High Expectations

No. 8007 - 12 Apr 2011 - 13:41:10



The Red River is expected to grow in size and strength
for three more weeks but the farming community outside the city
suffers the most in this region of many extremes.

St. Jean de Brébeuf Church and Churchyard in Cayer Manitoba



Narcisse Cayer was my maternal great-grandfather. He came from Sherbrooke, Québec in 1880, to Manitoba where he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company driving Red River carts.
He met and married my great-grandmother, Marie-Anne Camyré, formerly of Montréal, in St. Vital before relocating to Pigeon Lake, west of Winnipeg, where they started a family and ran a general store next to the Assiniboine River.
In 1911, the family of 11 moved, north of Ste. Rose du Lac to the shores of Lake Manitoba, with a few other homesteading families, seeking more land to graze their cattle and pursue entrepreneurship
in the new community where they opened and ran the post office.
Their legacy resides in a name, a place and a postal code -
Cayer, Manitoba R0L 0K0.
