Residency restrictions?

Does Field have the same residency restrictions as Banff? If so, this should be noted. 23skidoo 04:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It's in a national park, so you can't just go build a house anywhere; but between it being in a different national park and a different province, I doubt it, other than only so much accommodation is available. What are Banff's residency restrictions?Skookum1 04:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

You basically can't live there unless you work in the park and/or in Banff itself, although I believe there is a grandfather clause (pardon the pun) that allows some seniors to live there full-time as I believe they have a seniors residence building. Many people who work in Banff actually live in Canmore, located outside the park about 15 minutes up the highway. I believe Jasper has similar rules. So while I would expect Field to have restrictions on development, what I'm wondering is whether it too restricts who can actually live there. It would be a federal government decision, not a provincial one, however. 23skidoo 13:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Here's a link to the field community plan which should outline residency restrictions: [1] Mtobey 18:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Mount Stephen House

This venerable old hotel, long vanished, could use its own article at some point so it can in teh "Grand Railway Hotels" category....Skookum1 (talk) 23:04, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

On further thought it can just be a section here...I'd add it already, as there's some public domain pics in BC Archives and elsewhere, but I'm not sure if the dates of its building and what happened to it - was it destroyed by fire? Or just decommissioned and torn down?Skookum1 (talk) 17:23, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

There are only three online photos at BC Archives there may be more in the National Archives of Canada or Vancouver Public Library archives, also in any CPR history archives that may exist . The BC Arch pohtos are old enough that {{Canada50}} can be used (i.e. for versions trimmed of the BCArch logo/whitespace.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:35, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hm that's not the right name for the license template; I'll be back when I find out what it is...it's something like that....Skookum1 (talk) 20:06, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

This Flickr file is a William Notman photo from the McCord Museum in Montreal; it's probably PD I'm not sure what the status of Flickr images are.Skookum1 (talk) 20:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
