[edit] politically independent
I don't understand what this means: It is one of four politically independent villages in the greater Vancouver area. What defines a "politically independent village"? --Ds13 04:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- well then, I will tell you, it means it has it's own city council. As opposed to let's say the area of Aldergrove, which is not politically independent because it does not have it's own city council, it is under the governance of the township of langley. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.5.132.51 (talk • contribs).

- Thanks for responding, but I don't think you fully defined what I was asking about. Your definition of "politically independent village" would also fit Port Moody, Burnaby, Vancouver, etc. So is there a population size requirement to be labelled a village? Or a legal status? Or is this a subjective term?
- I should add that the "village" article here is currently a bit of an uncited/unverifiable work in progress, and without any Canadian specifics, so it doesn't help much. --Ds13 05:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
See List of communities in British Columbia. BC municipalities are incorporated as:
- a village, if the population is not greater than 2 500
- a town, if the population is greater than 2 500 but not greater than 5 000
- a city, if the population is greater than 5 000 (excepting Greenwood, which retained "city" status after the depopulation)
- a district municipality if the area to be incorporated is greater than 800 hectares and has an average population density of less than 5 persons per hectare.[1].
I'm going to post this in the various category pages too. -- TheMightyQuill 08:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nice sleuthing. Thanks! --Ds13 19:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

- And it turns out Bowen Island is not a village. They're a dying breed in Greater Vancouver. --Ds13 19:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
why is a citation needed to prove there is a hydro dam at buntzen lake? It is disputed or something?
- It's for the ferry that is mentioned. I for one am certainly not aware of any ferry up there. GeeCee 07:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Elevation
Question? I have a question, when it mentions elevation 591 feet what does that even measure? Does that refer to the elevation of the village hall? Or some other point?
I feel that maybe elevation should be a range between the highest and lowest points. Besides in an area that's all hills and mountains, listing the elevation of a city is kinda difficult since it changes greatly depending where you go.TotallyTempo (talk) 18:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- It is the elevation at the administrative centre indeed (so are the coordinates). The infobox is set up to accept one value only, and I figure it's enough to give an idea. --Qyd (talk) 21:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
