British Columbia
British Columbia (B.C.) (, C.-B.) is the westernmost of Canada's provinces and is known for its natural beauty, as reflected in its Latin motto, Splendor sine occasu ("Splendour without Diminishment"). Its name was chosen by Queen Victoria in 1858. In 1871, it became the sixth province of Canada.

Gastown
Gastown is a national historic site located in Vancouver, British Columbia, located at the northeast end of Downtown adjacent to the Downtown Eastside . Its historical boundaries were the waterfront (now Water Street and the CPR tracks), Columbia Street, Hastings Street, and Cambie Street, which were the borders of the 1870 townsite survey, the proper name and postal address of which was Granville, B.I. ("Burrard Inlet"). Today's official boundary does not include most of Hastings Street except for the Woodward's and Dominion Buildings, and stretches east past Columbia St., to the laneway running parallel to the west side of Main Street.

Vancouver
Vancouver () is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is named for British Captain George Vancouver, who explored the area in the 1790s.

Nation
A nation is a group of people who share culture, ethnicity and language, often possessing or seeking its own independent government. The development and conceptualization of a nation is closely related to the development of modern industrial states and nationalist movements in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, although nationalists would trace nations into the past along uninterrupted lines of historical narrative. Though the idea of nationality and race are often connected, the two are separate concepts, race dealing more with genotypic and phenotypic similarity and clustering, and nationality with the sense of belonging to a culture.

18+ Free Syria Army Battles Dictator Assad in Al Sowar 1-July-12 Deir Ez Zor معركة تحرير مدينة الصور من خنازير الأسد - ديرالزور.flv Unfolded in the Series of Failures Posted by abeer on July 2nd, 2012 A new event has unfolded in the series of failures to unite and and stop Assad's crimes against civilians. The meeting of the Contact Group on Syria in Geneva concluded with an agreement on a transitional period to resolve Syria's crisis. This was a superficial participation by the Russian government who remains the regime's main ally as it continues to provide military support amid international pressure. The new agreement provides vague language which is open to interpretation. This provides yet another opportunity for the regime's thugs to play their favorite game in utilizing time in order to stop the popular Syrian Revolution and extinguish it with violence and massacres across Syria. We in the Local Coordination Committees in Syria are confident that the regime will not react positively to any political resolution as has been previously evidenced by former initiatives. In the midst of the UN observer mission, the regime violated Kofi Annan's non-binding peace initiative by escalating violence, torture, and sieges against civilians across Syria. During Kofi Annan's initiative, the number of Syrians fleeing the country increased. The regime has massacred tens of thousands of peaceful civilians demanding freedom with the meeting in Geneva coinciding with at least 174 ...

A townsite is a legal subdivision of land for the development of a town or community. In the historical development of the United States, Canada, and other former British colonial nations, the filing of a townsite plat (United States) or plan (Canada) was often the first legal act in the establishment of a new town or community.
Townsites in British Columbia[link]
Numerous townsites were filed in British Columbia, Canada, in the early 19th century. Some of those filed in what is now Metro Vancouver included:
- Granville Townsite, 1870[1] (Gastown, Vancouver)
- Hastings Townsite, 1869 (Vancouver)
- Moodyville Townsite, 1865 (City of North Vancouver)
- New Westminster Townsite, 1860 (original capital of Colony of British Columbia, now New Westminster)
- North Vancouver Townsite, 1907[2] (City of North Vancouver)
- Port Mann Townsite, 1911[3] (Surrey)
- Steveston Townsite, 1889 (Richmond)
Although most of these townsites were incorporated into newly created cities and municipalities of Metro Vancouver, official survey plans still continue to designate lots as being part of these townsites. For example, a 2008 strata plan in Vancouver's Gastown is indicated as being in the Granville Townsite.[4]
Townsite planning was either done by government authorities or by private developers. In the case of North Vancouver townsite in 1907 most of the land was owned by the North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company. By owning large amount of land they were able to plan on a grand scale.[2] New Westminster was surveyed by the Royal Engineers under government direction.
As existing towns grow, they develop Official Community Plans (OCPs) that expand upon the already existing townsites. However, periodically new communities are still created. In 1975, the Whistler townsite was created and eventually incorporated as a municipality. The new municipality was given 53 acres (210,000 m2) of Crown land to develop the townsite.[5]
