Sutherland Secondary School is a public high school in the city of North Vancouver, British Columbia and part of School District 44 North Vancouver. Sutherland Secondary School was at one time a junior high school. At the time, many students then went on to Carson Graham Secondary or Argyle Secondary. Throughout the years, Sutherland's greatest sporting rival has been Handsworth Secondary. Sutherland had been rebuilt in its present location on a gravel field, as it was the second oldest school in the district. The new school was finished in the fall of 2007, followed by the completion of a new artificial field in the spring of 2008. It was the filming location of all the high school scenes in the CW show Life Unexpected. in the fall of 2009. In the 1980s, several episodes of the TV show 21 Jump Street were also filmed at the school. In 2018 the Disney Chanel movie Freaky Friday was filmed throughout the school. Over the summer of 2019 the Netflix series The Healing Powers of Dude used the school's interior and exterior for filming.

Lynn Valley Tree

The Lynn Valley Tree was one of the tallest known Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), at a measured height of 126.5 meters (415 ft). It was cut down by the Tremblay Brothers, at Argyle Road in 1902 on the property of Alfred John Nye in Lynn Valley, now part of metropolitan Vancouver, B.C. In 1912, Alfred Nye told historian Walter Mackay Draycott that the tree had first drawn his attention because of its vast columnar bole, and that it towered above the neighboring forest. After it was felled, Nye told Draycott he had measured its length at 125 meters (410 ft), with a remaining stump height of 1.52 meters (5 ft 0 in) where its diameter was 4.34 meters (14.2 ft) across the butt, and the bark was 13.5 inches (34 cm) thick. Since that time, in the lower valley where the tree grew, the entire old-growth forest has been logged, including a nearby 4.24 meters (13.9 ft) diameter fir tree that contained 1,280 rings, and another fir tree felled in the same valley that was said to have measured 107.3 m (352 ft) tall. It was one of the tallest trees ever recorded on the planet, exceeded only by a small number of Australian mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) other Douglas firs, and perhaps several historic Coast Redwood. In addition, a giant sequoia known as the Father of the Forest from Calaveras grove reportedly measured 435 feet (133 m) after it fell many centuries ago. However, Douglas firs seem to have more routinely reached such heights in the past, with anecdotal reports of 350-ft to over 400-ft-tall trees being relatively numerous in old records. Despite measurements of such size being generally considered unreliable, there is a reliable record of a Douglas fir exceeding 140 meters (460 ft) in height: the Nooksack Giant was measured at 142 meters (466 ft) tall with a tape after the tree was cut down in the 19th century. Both of these heights are close to or, in the latter case, exceed the maximum height a tree can attain as calculated by some theorists, or just within the upper limits according to other theorists. Given widespread reports that trees have been measured after felling as exceeding this maximum height, it lends some credibility to the idea that extremely tall trees growing in especially foggy environments are able to reverse the transpiration stream inside them and maintain adequate water supply to parts of the tree above that height. There are no known surviving photographs of the Lynn Valley Tree.

Park and Tilford Gardens
Park and Tilford Gardens

The Park & Tilford Gardens is a 1.5-acre (6,100 m2) (originally 3-acre (12,000 m2)) botanic garden situated in the City of North Vancouver, British Columbia. The complex, established in 1969 as a community project of Canadian Park & Tilford Distilleries Ltd., consists of eight separate but interconnected areas. The original gardens were designed by Harry J. Webb of Justice & Webb Landscape Architects. The distillery closed in 1984, and the new owner rezoned the site for commercial use. Durante Kreuk Landscape Architects designed the entry gate and Waterfall Garden as part of the 1980s redevelopment of the Park & Tilford site after the Flower Garden was demolished. The description below outlines the gardens as they existed in the 1970s: "Each carries its own theme and is filled with flowers, fountains, waterfalls and aviaries. The Rose Garden, with a covered arbour and Florentine pergola, has more than 25 varieties of roses, ranging from delicate miniatures to showy floribunda. Nearby, the Herb Garden, the smallest area, contains plantings of medicinal and culinary herbs. A collection of tropical plants and flowers can be seen inside the Greenhouse, including a collection of bromeliads and succulents. In warm weather a finch aviary among the blossoms complements the Flower Garden. The floral displays in 27 circular beds are changed frequently year-round. Nearby is a Bog Garden with day lilies, skunk cabbages, ornamental grasses and a six-foot leafed Gunnera plant. Busts of famous botanists Douglas, Carl Linnaeus, and Menzies - are displayed in the Colonnade Garden, a cool area of vines arid vivid floral baskets. A larger aviary at the end of the colonnade is home for many colourful parrots, cockatoos, mynas and other tropical birds. Along the south bank is the Rhododendron Garden, sheltered by Douglas firs and dogwoods. A classic moon gate leads to the Oriental Garden, a tranquil setting reminiscent of Japan. The authentic Japanese tea house is a gift shop operated by the North Shore Association for the Physically Handicapped. The Native Wood Garden is devoted to trees and shrubs of British Columbia's coastal forests and interior semi-arid regions. A small Herb Garden is on display during summer months. There is a seed package, but not an exchange, program. Many rare forms of plant life are present in these gardens and they are being constantly added to. As a service to visitors and their friends, the Park and Tilford Gardens have made available a selection of seeds comprising the more outstanding plant forms featured. These selections will vary from year to year as outstanding new hybrids and strains are proven. The Park & Tilford Gardens' Review is published periodically to keep patrons up to date on events and informed with garden checklists, green thumb tips and more."
