(needs more)
Good history section, but lacks enough info about the island today. Some stuff in the lead section needs to moved to their own sections and fleshed out. The history needs more references and footnotes. A couple of more pictures (artisans, cement factory, Emily Carr Institute) would help. Usgnus

Little Mountain entry is somewhat parallel but is a geographic feature and old neighbourhood name as opposed to a park
User:Sir Studieselot

Tri-Cities (British Columbia) Jun 21 06 not yet assessed No User:Skookum1

Westham Island, British Columbia Jun 21 06 not yet assessed No User:Skookum1
Westwood Plateau Jun 21 06 Stub No Very basic start to article. Needs to be expanded or merged, as right now it doesn't say very much. Some history of the area would help, especially about the old raceway that was pushed out by the development. Ckatz
