Mount Price

Mount Price is a stratovolcano in the Garibaldi Ranges of southwestern British Columbia. It is 2,049 m (6,722 ft) high, and rises on the western side of Garibaldi Lake in New Westminster Land District. It has a number of features, including Clinker Peak, the source of two thick lava flows between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago. These unstable flows produced large landslides as recently as the 1850s. A provincial park surrounds Mount Price and other local volcanoes. It lies within an ecological region that surrounds much of the Pacific Ranges. Mount Price is one of a small group of volcanoes called the Garibaldi Lake volcanic field, part of the larger Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, a volcanic zone in the Canadian Cascade Arc. It began forming 1.2 million years ago and continued until sometime in the last 15,000 years. It has not been active for thousands of years, but if it did erupt, the Interagency Volcanic Event Notification Plan outlines how agencies involved in relief efforts may be notified.

Church of the Redeemer

The Church of the Redeemer is a church of the Anglican Church of Canada in Toronto, Canada, located at the intersection of Bloor Street and Avenue Road. Dedicated to Christ the Redeemer, the church was founded in 1871, when the area was still on the fringe of the city. The Gothic Revival building opened in 1879. The 20th-century high-rise buildings behind the church in this photograph are 21 Avenue Road (blue-gray, 1971) and 150 Bloor Street West (yellow-brown, 1981).
