Vancouver neighbourhoods standardisation

Hi all: I just fleshed out the Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood page, and I thought I'd make a few suggestions for some standard info to add to all the neighbourhood pages. I am not putting this here as an alternative to doing it myself ;-), but I don't see myself doing it all any time soon.

I suggest that all the articles include the following:

  • Provincial electoral district info[1]
  • Federal electoral district info[2]
  • Statistical info[3]
  • And a link to the City's neighbourhood page in the links section (same link as above)

Anyone else have any ideas of standard additions for all neighbourhoods? --Anchoress 10:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Canadian city naming convention

To try to get a good consensus, I am posting at all Canadian regional wikiprojects: Wikipedia talk:Canadian wikipedians' notice board#Canadian city naming convention. Thanks! -- Usgnus 21:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

RC Palmer Secondary School

I'm going ahead and write the first paragraph of RC Palmer Secondary School in Richmond. Is it okay if I start now? The reason is I'm from that school anyways... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curriegrad2004 (talk • contribs)

By all means, go ahead. I suggest copying over one of the other high schools in Richmond and changing the information. -- Usgnus 16:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Damn, you figured out my method of writing school stubs... ;) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 18:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Vancouver School Board content ideas

  • History: creation of the district, oldest schools, amalgamation with Point Grey, taking over the U-Hill schools.
  • Trustees: who they are, how they are elected, how long they serve, the schools they are assigned to.
  • Areas: the district is divided into four areas, each with its own superintendent. Schools are in a given area (perhaps list schools by area, with the elementary feeders grouped to the high school). Links to boundary maps. Separate areas for French immersion.
  • District programs: French immersion (including expansion), Mandarin immersion, mini schools, IB, Montessori, etc.
