He is the founder and dean of the Graduate School of Landscape Architecture at Peking University and is founder and president of turenscape\, one of the largest private landscape architecture firms in China. Quote: "Yu Kongjian\, China's pre-eminent landscape architect\, was brought down from Beijing to lend the project some cachet and\, as is often the case\, his first move was to throw a wrench into other people's plans. Zhongshan didn't need more flowers\, Yu told the city officials\; it didn't need fountains\, ornate wrought-iron fences\, or hedges shaped like animals. Instead of bulldozing the shipyard\, he proposed\, they could put it to new use. A gantry crane would make an interesting gate\, a crumbling water tower could become the base of a lighted beacon. Instead of grass\, the city should grow weeds. Zhongshan's leaders found the plan unsettling. 'We wanted something distinctive\, but this made us nervous\,' says He Shaoyang\, then head of the city's planning commission. 'It wasn't like a Chinese garden with a rock here and a tree there.' But\, in time\, the ecological soundness and low cost of Yu's ideas won them over. 'After all\,' says He\, 'Zhongshan has a lot of parks. They shouldn't all have to look the same.'" http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0\,9171\,501060410-1179413\,00.html Sponsored by The Vancouver Leauge for Studies in Architecture and the Environment and UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (http://www.sala.ubc.ca) Robson Square C300 Theatre General Seating (arrive early) URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1128864/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1128864/ DTSTAMP:20080924T104730 LAST-UPDATED:20080924T104730 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/15116/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/10619/":UBC Robson Square @ 800 Robson St.\, Vancouver\, British Columbia END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:UBC Robson Square ADDRESS:800 Robson St. CITY:Vancouver REGION;X-ABBREV=:British Columbia COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=:Canada POSTALCODE: URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/10619/ END:VVENUE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20081011T200000 DURATION:PT0S TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Hayden DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/853236/ ] URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/853236/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/853236/ DTSTAMP:20080629T142121 LAST-UPDATED:20080629T142121 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/184052/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/2077/":Vogue Theatre @ 918 Granville Street\, Vancouver\, British Columbia END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:Vogue Theatre ADDRESS:918 Granville Street CITY:Vancouver REGION;X-ABBREV=:British Columbia COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=:Canada POSTALCODE: URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/2077/ END:VVENUE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20081013T190000 DURATION:PT0S TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Open Ruby/Ajax Hack Night #16 DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1186309/ ] Join us for the weekly Vancouver Open Ruby/Ajax Hack Night every Monday.

The namesake exhibition explores themes of shamanism and transformation\, as well as interpretations of Arctic legends and the many guises of Sedna (Sea Goddess). The collection consists of over 80 original inspired sculptures offering a contemporary glimpse into an ancient world of beliefs that is fast disappearing. The Inuit artists are working in varied materials and represent many communities across the Arctic\, from Alaska in the west to Labrador in the east. Sadly\, we have lost many of the great old carvers over the last decade\; several are in this exhibition\, including Judas Ullulaq\, Josiah Nuilaalik\, Elijah Michael\, Nuyaliaq Qirmirpik and Peter Sevoga. Their sculptures serve as a stark reminder of the enormous vacuum they leave behind. A few of the older artists\, Samson Kingalik\, Joe Kiloonik and Barnabus Arnasungnaaq\, still remember the traditional life on the land\, carving occasionally to reveal intimate insights into the past. Now the responsibility rests on the younger artists like Isacci Etidloie\, Billy Gauthier\, Toonoo Sharky and Michael Massie\, letting their imaginations create sculptures\, which offer modern yet relevant interpretations of their history.

A fair depiction of how one might feel about the state of the oceans? Unduly strong? Overly pessimistic? And does a lament necessarily imply irretrievable loss? Or can it identify targets for politically supported\, scientifically defensible strategies for conservation and recovery? Since the extension of the Exclusive Economic Zone to 200 nautical miles (370 kilometres) in 1977\, a single human generation has passed during which Canada’s oceans have experienced historically unprecedented biological change. The Atlantic has borne witness to the greatest numerical loss of a vertebrate in Canadian history\, the Atlantic Cod. The iconic Pacific salmon and Canada’s largest fish (Basking Shark\, White Sturgeon)\, all of which depend on the coastal waters of British Columbia\, are imperilled throughout much of their respective ranges. The Arctic\, no longer a refuge from the environmental detritus of socio-economic ambivalence\, is home to culturally and biologically integral species\, such as Polar Bear and Beluga Whale\,That are increasingly threatened with extinction. Biological depredation of the waters bordered by the longest coastline in the world ultimately reflects ineffectual leadership and disingenuous commitment to environmental sustainability. There is a clear need to replace governmental and societal lip service with meaningful responses to over-exploitation\, habitat alteration\, and climate change. Such responses will almost certainly require: committed\, honourable leadership\; legislative restructuring of ocean governance responsibilities\; environmentally- informed consumer choices\; historical perspective\; and acceptance of the inevitable short-term\, socio-economic costs — to be borne by all Canadians — that will be required to achieve longer-term\, societal benefits. Recovering and maintaining the health of our oceans is a non-negotiable responsibility to future generations that we neither can afford\, nor have the right\, to ignore. Dr. Hutchings is a Professor of Biology and the Canada Research Chair in Marine Conservation and Biodiversity at Dalhousie University. He is also the Chair of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada — the national science advisory body responsible for advising the federal Minister of the Environment on the status of species at risk in Canada. Additional professional responsibilities have included: Editor of Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences\; founding Member of the Governing Council for the Canadian Society of Ecology and Evolution Member = and Co-Chair of the Evolution & Ecology Grant Selection Committee of NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council\, Editorial Board Member for Proceedings Royal Society B\, Evolutionary Applications\, and Environmental Reviews\; and Member of the Royal Society of Canada’s Expert Panel on the Future of Food Biotechnology and Committee on Expert Panels.

Murray Schafer’s Magic Songs\, Hillborg’s mouaiyum and much more. OD’s Vancouver concert is the final appearance on a North American tour that included performances in Toronto\, Chicago\, Winnipeg and Edmonton. OD's conductor Robert Sund sings\, plays\, arranges\, composes and conducts. His multi-faceted gift has given him a prominent position both on the Swedish and the international music scene. Most importantly\, Robert Sund has been a principal driving force behind OD's development\, and has contributed greatly to the broadening of the choir's repertoire. The Vancouver performance will mark Maestro Sund’s final concert with OD after twenty years as director. Appearing as soloist with Orphei Drängar is an exiting rising star in the opera world\, soprano Maria Fontosh. Ms. Fantosh already has many operatic roles and prestigious recital appearances to her credit\, including a sensational debut at the Royal Opera in Stockholm as Rosina in Il Barbiere di Saviglia and performances with the Royal Concertgebow Orchestra directed by Riccardo Chailly.
