Wigwam Inn section written like an advertisement[edit]

The Wigwam Inn section is written blatantly like an advertisement, especially the last few sentences in that paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.103.168.148 (talk) 20:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't an ad, per se, as the text describes the Inn's past rather than its present. As well, it is not open for business, being a private club now, so it cannot attract business. However, you are correct in that the last sentence was not appropriate. I have removed it. --Ckatz^chat _spy 20:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Highway and bridge proposals[edit]

Since the creation of Indian Arm Provincial Park it seems that any plans to build a Port Moody-Squamish highway have been (theoretically) nixed, but it's still noteworthy enough to have something on; similarly there have been calls for a bridge from Deep Cove/Dollarton to Belcarra as a commuter route, though the politics of the equation weigh against it. Just noting these; and also maybe the Britannia's regular trips into Indian Arm to see Granite Falls, which go back decades, should be mentioned.Skookum1 (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wigwam Inn and Buntzen generating stations need to be split off[edit]

....partly for categorization reasons in both cases; Wigwam Inn has much more that could be said about its history and various categories would apply to it, including private clubs as well as tourist destinations (even if only in the past); steamer landing also applies. In Buntzen's case Category:Electrical generating stations in British Columbia applies, and there's two powerhouses, one now defunct; Buntzen Power Project may be a better title where both of them could be. There had also been a small Hydro community at Buntzen, up a set of stairs (long ones, I'm told by people who lived there) on the crest of the hill/mountain between there and the lake. Granite Falls, also, farther up, was a destination for tour boats, I'm not sure if it had a separate lodge from the Wigwam. All of these at one time, including Deep Cove, were reached only by water taxi/tour boat from the old passenger docks in Gastown (via underpasses across the CPR tracks).Skookum1 (talk) 01:56, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, that had better not have been speedied to Category:Power stations in British Columbia, which was an old title for that category but doesn't belong in Canadian English; oh, no, not another CfD.....Skookum1 (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I don't know if Category:Hydroelectric power stations in British Columbia and its parent "power stations" ever got changed to the correct Canadian usage; "power stations" is British and was imposed on us in a big CfD where "powerhouse" was disallowed for Canada, but allowed for the US, by Brit admins who said we deserved no exception, along the lines that "since we had been in the Empire and/or are Commonwealth"....95% of Canadian powerhouses are named "electrical generating station", there's only a few "power stations" in Saskatchewan, one or two in Ontario. Grates on me, because I was raised in a Hydro family and know many of these places and what they're called very well. Oh, that's "original research"...but so is the claim that "power station" should be applied in Canada because someone else says so.Skookum1 (talk) 02:03, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not those Twin Islands[edit]

The link to Twin Islands (British Columbia) under Recreation and parks is not correct. Rather there are a pair of islands by that name on the east side of Indian Arm, a km or 2 northeast of Belcarra. 49.226.242.10 (talk) 05:46, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
