    Six round-trip bridge crossings and they want me to pay over $60? Yeah right. Come get me, jerks.
    Charlie S.

    This bridge lacks signage explaining how the tolls work, and then will send you a bill in the mail three months later with inflated fees. If you are an out-of-towner who doesn't know what "Treo" is or that you have to register or pay fees, you get to be surprised by some random scary-looking bullshit bill long after you've forgotten you even drove on the bridge. The signs, of course, don't properly explain that this bridge administers tolls by scanning license plates and you need to register your license plate on their website, or you will be charged fees and sent a bill at the address registered with your car. All the signs say is "toll bridge." I thought, "Where are the tolls? It's still under construction, so they must be adding the toll booths." Sorry, Treo, but I am not paying the absurd bill you sent me. You should have physical toll booths if you expect payment from visitors who are unfamiliar with "Treo" or how this bridge works. You want to charge me a processing fee for each time I crossed the bridge, even though you only had to look up my license plate once? Not happening. This is a dishonest, sneaky system and you guys suck.

    If you like driving over insanely high - yet architecturally pleasing - ribbons of concrete suspended by thick steel cables this is the bridge for you! As Vancouver's newest suspension bridge it will get you from point A to point B quickly and efficiently. And yes, it will cost you a few bucks for the privilege. Even if you have US plates the magical agency that controls the bridge will track you down and send you a bill for $12 to cross it. Word to the wise: you can go on their website and register your plate and it will cost you half that every time you cross. Don't ask me how I know. Wink wink.

    This bridge is pretty awesome

    I can't believe I used to take highway 10 all the time.... the stop and go with all those lights... highway 1 is where it's at! the port mann is pretty nicely renovated with wide, nicely paved lanes. around 4-6 is when westbound traffic slows to a crawl (boo!) but avoid those peak times and you're all good. Oh yeah... weekend traffic sucks because of all the construction so if you have a spare workday.... spend it cruising to & fro surrey ;) 2/30 yelp challenge

    Great Looking Bridge, and a Fantastically Quick  way to "Get Out of Surrey" !!!

A recent letter from a curator at the big war museums in Calgary, AB expressed concern at Millar's strangely hostile approach, citing examples of similar disputes, in which, in EVERY case, the family prevailed. If the medals are NOT relinquished to us shortly, the Calgary curator assures us that the medals may be relocated to the Calgary museum appropriate to forbear's regiment. Either way, this awful Port Moody museum will NOT have them! Museums worldwide are daily being compelled by courts to repatriate their disputed plunder, returning it to its rightful owners. This is due in no small measure to attitudes like this museum director's. I would urge the public to question the the legality of every museum's right of possession to its collection. In our case, it would have been reasonable to presume first, that there are almost certainly surviving descendants of WWI soldiers, and second, that those descendants enjoy a prima facie claim and right of first refusal to such mementos as against a museum. There are conflicts in every family. It's wrong for a museum to exploit such conflicts for its own dubious purposes. In this case, the war medals' only real value is as family heirlooms. To knowingly deprive a family of our right to honor a forbear's war time valor should be a criminal offence.

    This is a great restored CPR station. Displays inside teach about the local history of Port Moody.read more

As a…read morekid growing up in Montreal, I vividly remember being taken on a school field trip when I was around 7 to "Upper Canada Village", in Quebec, which was a whole mock village from roughly 1750-1800, which was HUGE, and where there were tons of people dressed in costume, demonstrating how potters and blacksmiths and bakers and "doctors" and "vets" and traders and everyday people lived, back back in the day. It was like Disneyland to me, and this field trip made such an impression, I pursued history as my major throughout university and even grad school. Fort Langley had the same appeal to me, even though it is on a much smaller scale than UCV. And even though , in this pandemic age, most of the edifices were unstaffed. Despite all this, I still loved it - as did my 21 yo daughter. Here's what's cool: they have a huge, free parking lot. (Plus some picnic benches, too, and lots of grassy field, if you want to have a picnic here). The admission prices are reasonable (I am attaching a photo of the pricing list). You can pay a bit extra for a guided audio tour. Or, they do give tours to groups if you arrange this in advance (there was a camp group of kids on a guided tour while we were there). The site is super well-maintained, and even if the buildings aren't staffed while you are there, there are excellent plaques and signs describing the items and the site. (Depending on when you go, though, the buildings may be staffed. Call in advance if this is important to you). Also, FYI they have many clean, accessible bathrooms in the visitors' area, when you first enter the site to purchase your tickets (IMP always good to know where the bathrooms are in town, if needed!). Here's what's good or bad, depending on your personal preference: the place is fairly small. I can't see spending more than an hour here. For my kid and me, we think this is a plus. If you are expecting an involved experience with bells and whistles, you probably will be disappointed. Here's the negatives: as mentioned, when we visited, all the buildings were unstaffed, so there were no staff members at the cooperage or the kitchen building or the managers' house, or the servants' quarters, etc. This might be important to some people, so call first if it is to you. (The only building manned was the blacksmith building, and Ahmed there was phenomenal! We got an impromptu history lesson AND a demonstration of his making a hook, which he gave us to keep. Super cool!). Also, remember to bring bug spray and sunblock and a water bottle. (We visited last year but had no bug spray and one of my kids was already getting bitten a lot, so we opted not to see the Fort then. This year, we knew better. Be prepared!). I'm attaching photos of the main plaques and signs and price list, as well as the brochure (sorry for the creases!).

First we rode an interurban car for a short portion of their track. Then we took a tour of their facility starting with their bee garden through their shop and finishing with a ride on their velocipede and modified pump car. Because it was a special event, we had a catered lunch (they use the catering business next door), which was simple, delicious, and way better than a boxed lunch. We finished the afternoon with a final ride on their Queen Car -- Connaught 1304 car. We had a good time. It was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, so I would recommend checking them out for a few hours one afternoon or hosting an event there.

    Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society in Surrey, BC…read more We had a lovely time Saturday, July 14, 2018. Our 3 y/o daughter loves trains and we had seen the train a couple month prior (I think they were preparing and maybe advertising) going down the tracks as we drove along side them. The volunteers were all very lovely. There were a lot of them, probably 10+ people. I was at first sticker shocked at the admission prices but the train ride was almost an hour. The commentary from one of the volunteers was great. He provided a lot of history and facts on the first half of the stretch. It was a bit of a long ride for our daughter, she was good to go after the first 20 mins. There are also no washrooms onboard once you leave the station, obviously, so you have to make sure you go before you leave. They had a simulator that you could drive while you waited for your train to depart. She really enjoyed that! I'd recommend this attraction if you can afford it. It cost us $50 for our family of three. Adults are $20 & kids 2-11 years are $10.

Being a fan of Burnaby Heritage Museum, I never knew about this place until my family told me about it. I came here with my parents, and there were no other visitors other than my family during the entire tour of the house. Tracy, the tour guide, was super friendly and helpful with the tour and I was able to stop and ask any questions during the tour. I loved how Tracy did a vintage vacuum demonstration as I haven't seen anything like it before. I loved the fact that visitors could go upstairs and see the entire house! Many of the items in the home were original from the original owners, though some were purchased or donated from other sources.

It was lived in by family members up to about 1950, when it was sold to the city of New Westminster, and turned into a historical centre. Thus, if you're a history buff, love antiques (especially Victorian-era pieces), or ever watched the show "America's Castles", you should take a tour of Irving House. The house was built in high style by Captain Irving, a man who made a lot of money in the California, Alaska, and BC Gold Rush, and virtually poured it into the house. The architectural details of the house are interesting and well explained by the costumed guides. Since I was practically the only visitor at the time, I pretty much got my own personal tour. According to them, all the furniture and pieces displayed in the house are authentic to the period - no reproductions (except for some fake food in the kitchen, perhaps). Many belonged to the Irving family and their descendants; others were donated. The house is currently decorated, Victorian-style, for Christmas. Lots of garlands, an amazing Christmas dinner setting, and a beautiful little Christmas tree. Those into old-fashioned decorations should check it out. Legend has it too, that the house is haunted by none other than Captain Irving himself. At the very least, you can see the bed he reportedly died in, and it's one enormous piece of furniture. My guide demurred on confirming the story that an indentation of a body can sometimes be seen in the bedcovers. I saw nothing on my visit, though. In any case, it is New Westminster's oldest surviving home, and thus probably one of the oldest homes in the Vancouver area. It's a wonderful glimpse into what life was like in the early years of British Columbia, if you were high society folk. Admission is by donation, so it's affordable even for writers to visit.

(Only recently have I learned that this village of old, waterfront maritime buildings is known collectively as the Britannia Shipyards. I always called it "the old village"). History nerd that I am, I'm always fascinated by historical sites where you can immerse yourself and really "see" life how it was lived in earlier times. This is such a place. I always bring out-of-towners here and, without exception, they all have loved it and learned a lot about life in this area a century ago, and the maritime history of Vancouver. And as many times as I've been here, I never get tired of it. In fact, I always learn something new, too. I could be wrong, but I think this year, they outdid themselves. I visited a few weeks ago (mid-August 2022) and it was better than ever. I think they have new signage erected. More of the buildings were open (in past visits, some buildings were closed and some were off-bounds due to school groups going through them. This time, every building was open and my kid and I were able to tour every one). Furthermore, this year, there were guided tours of the buildings (twice a day!), vintage wooden ships moored along the docks, lots of exhibits in the various maritime buildings, costumed interpreters and historical demonstrations, too. The staff were super nice and very knowledgable, and they had free activity books for the kids (or the kids at heart, like myself lol) which provided a lot of historical background of the area in a manner that kids would understand and enjoy. (I posted a few photos of this activity book with this review). This is a great place for families with young kids, as it is super engaging for young children. And older folks love it too, for its historical significance. And for folks who aren't into history, they too seem to love this area as it is SO picturesque, along a wooden trail along the water, with a beautiful old garden in one area, and picture-postcard ships along the waterway. It's just a pretty, pretty area and a lovely leisurely walk, even if you're not into the history of it all. Those of us who call Vancouver home are so lucky to have areas like this preserved, where we can see and feel how life was here in the past, so we can see where we as a city came from.

Weather was great and the courtyard was nice and secluded while security kept an eye on who was entering the free event. We would have liked to try the dumplings and mango pudding stands in the courtyard but since we paid $4.50 for parking for 2 hours, were had too much time left to kill before the show started. We ultimately decided to leave to eat at Bao Bei nearby then headed back home to grab lawn chairs and something warmer to wear before coming back. Brought our own chair to the movie because we knew by the time we came back there would not be enough seats based on the turnout. We got great seats and did splurge to try one bag of "Asian Flavoured popcorn" each right as the movie was starting which only cost $3/bag but was worth it... it was (shoyu flavour?) popcorn with a pleasant surprise twist of crispy rice crackers in the mix. Very peaceful experience. Meditation Park movie had us crying and laughing. It doesn't appear to be on the Canadian Netflix (maybe American) so if you can stream this movie somewhere I recommend it.
