14 Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 2, 1986

In the last 100 years Vancouver has grown from a
clearing in’ the rain forest to a busy cosmopolitan
city, the third largest in Canada, The Westcoasters by
David Corcoran (Macmillan of Canada: $24.95)
seeks to capture the flavor of the first few years,
from 1857 when a Hudson Bay fort and some houses
marked the site of Victoria, to the outbreak of the
Vancouver fire in 1886.

by Andrea Deakin
Terrace Book Reviewer

Corcoran has the material here for a rich detailed
novel, a much longer one than he has written. The
result is an episodic narrative, sprinkled with a vari-
ety of interesting characters whose full potential is
never realized.

Fact and fiction are interwoven in an attempt to
portray the variety of peoples who lived in and settled
the coast of British Columbia, and depict the major
events which precipitated the beginning of the col-
ony. The pace is lively and direct, the story entertain-
ing. The novel will certainly help readers to ap-
preciate how colorful a past we have, but, sadly, the
potential is here for much more.

Vancouver's First Century

Douglas and McIntyre have published an updated
edition of Vancouver's First Century ($24.95) which
was first published in 1977. The first edition covered
the years from 1860-1960. This new edition contains
32 more pages of photographs and brings the story of
the city up to 1985.

I arrived in Vancouver on the verge of the sixties
and these are the changes we saw take place. These
were the years when developers were rapidly chang-
ing the face of the city. These were the years of pro-
test against the freeway through Chinatown, of hip-
pies and Fourth Avenue, of the influx of new Cana-
dians (by 1979, 40 percent of the city’s primary
school children spoke English as a second language),
of the growth of restaurants, theatres and new shop-
ping areas like Gastown and Granville Island, As Ex-
po 86 approaches Vancouver, like the rest of the pro-
vince badly hit by the recession of the 80’s, the city is
putting on its best face. It has gained personality and

The Vancouver Guide

If you are going to Vancouver for Expo, but you
are not familiar with the city, Terri Wershler has
written an accurate, helpful, well-designed and well-.
illustrated guide to the city (The Vancouver Guide:
Douglas and McIntyre: 9.95).

I know Vancouver well and I would highly recom-
mend this guide to anyone. Here is everything you
will need to know or to find — hotels, restaurants,
shopping, sightseeing, nightlife, parks and beaches,
places and things to enjoy with children, and so on.
This is by far the best guide yet to the city of Van-
couver and worth every cent.
