STANLEYPARK’SLONG-ABANDONEDPOLARBEAR ENCLOSURE COULD BECOME A NORDIC SAUNA
Want to go for a swim in Stanley Park's polar bear enclosure?
It's been animal-free since 1997, but one Vancouver architectural firm has proposed a unique use for the long-vacant space: A Nordicstyle sauna.
Tony Osborn Architecture and Design (TOAD) has launched the idea with renderings,
drawings, and a full website at polarbearsauna.ca.
“Our team has been fascinated by this modern ruin for years now. We really wanted to find a way for visitors to Stanley Park to reoccupy this abandoned site without erasing its complicated history” says the firm's owner, Tony Osborn, in a press release The enclosure was part of the Vancouver Zoo; while the zoo's
history started around 1888, the concrete habitat for the world's largest land predator was built in 1962. In 1997 the zoo came to an end when its last resident, Tuk the polar bear died.
While there have been a variety of ideas for the empty enclosure over the years, including a salmon hatchery, nothing has come to fruition
TOAD created the proposal
For less than $2,000 per month, you really can have it all: three delicious meals a day, weekly housekeeping and laundry, cable, Wi-Fi, insurance, recreation activities and a security pendant that will provide you with peace of mind knowing that help is available 24/7 should you need it.
You may also be eligible for assistance through BC Housing’s Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program. Please check their website at www.bchousing.org for further information.

unsolicited but says the time is right for such a sauna, as it's a growing trend In Victoria, HAVN, a floating spa with similar facilities, has just arrived in the inner harbour. And TOAD points to the Scandinave Spa in Whistler and Circle Wellness in Vancouver as other examples
"Borrowing from various sauna cultures around the world, this complex would become a public
place for people to congregate, socialize and rest; especially in the wet winter months when social interaction is in such short supply," states the proposal's website.
At the same time, the Vancouver parks board recently passed a motion telling staff to "think big" when it comes to revenue

“Were hoping Vancouverites are excited about this idea. I mean, going to Stanley Park on a rainy winter afternoon for a relaxing soak surrounded by old cedars... It would be incredible," says TOAD's Egor Revenko in the release "We need more facilities like this, because we have the perfect climate for them ”

RyanBeil:CheckinginwiththeghostsofNorthwestLeaguepast
The Northwest League we know, love, and revere today has existed in some form or another since 1890 Thats the year Wyoming became a state! This may seem to be a fairly irrelevant historical factoid for this column, but it's one of the only historical factoids I could find that wasnt a complete and total downer; 1890 was not a fun-filled year
But worry not, dear reader. This is not going to be a sorrowful essay about 1890 This is a fun column about baseball! With a gentle sprinkling of history mixed in. The Northwest League has seen many changes, adjustments, and developments over the years
One of the more recent changes, adjustments, and developments was the promotion of the league to the level of High-A in 2020 when it also went from eight teams to six
While I do love having a higher level of professional baseball in the city to enjoy, I can’t help but sometimes miss the old eight-team circuit and feel nostalgia for the two teams that were dropped from the league. So today, I thought we d pay a little homage and do a little checking in on two baseball teams I used to love to boo when they came to town The Boise Hawks and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
TheBoiseHawks
Founded in 1987, the Boise Hawks are Idaho’s premiere baseballfranchise.Inmyopinion.Idon’tactuallyknowwhat the rest of the baseball landscape looks like in Idaho, but I standbymyassertion.Hopefully,Idon’tgettoomanyangry letters from Meridian, which is another city in Idaho. I really miss the Hawks There was something about them that made them so fun to cheer against They had an air of villainyaboutthem.Maybeitwasthegraphite-colouredroad uniforms or the hats with talon scratch marks on them? More likely it’s because they share a name with the bad-guy team from The Mighty Ducks movie franchise Whateveritwas,IalwaysloveditwhentheHawkswould flyintotown.Andthat’sjustabirdreference.TheseHawks playedminorleaguebaseball.TheseHawksrodethebus. Funfact.WayneGretzky’ssonTrevorplayedaseasonwith Boise - 2013 to be exact I was at a home game that year where The Great One himself dropped in to watch his son play ball There were more eyes on the stands than on the field that day And some very creative heckles for Trevor to endure Or so Ive been told
The Hawks currently reside in the Independent Pioneer League,andplayedinthechampionshipseriesin2021.They unfortunatelylost2gamesto1totheMissoulaPaddleheads which is just a fantastic name for a ballclub.
TheSalem-KeizerVolcanoes
First and foremost: I love a hyphenated sports team. Why play for only one geographic area when you can have multiple? It just seems like good business.
Secondly, I love it when sports teams really go for it with
