From the supplier: British Columbia uses the market value approach in assessing real property tax. All lands and buildings are assessed every two years by independent agencies and classified according to use. Tax rates for these properties are then set at 100% of market value. However, municipal councils can now help maintain stability and certainty within the taxation base during volatile real estate market conditions through averaging or phasing of land values. Advantages of both methods and factors to consider when deciding which option to apply are presented.

Excerpt: Cascade City, British Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The property at Cascade City was originally owned by an American, Aaron Chandler, from North Dakota. Seeing the potential of the area, Chandler formed the Cascade Development Company and with his agent, George Stocker, subdivided the land into town lots and began selling them to enterprising businessmen. Powerhouse on Kettle River in 1910Impetus for the decision to promote Cascade City was the local mining and rail construction, but the future looked even brighter when the Cascade Water and Power Company was formed and a hydro electric dam and powerhouse was built on Kettle River in 1897. The powerhouse would provide electricity to Grand Forks, Phoenix and Greenwood. The early townsite only had two buildings: a general store and a restaurant. Chandler himself slept in a tent. However, by the time the railway construction crews arrived in 1898, Cascade City was booming and although there were fourteen hotels, there was rarely a room available. Cascade HotelThere were numerous brothels where an estimated 60 ladies of the evening, such as "Scrap Iron Minnie" and "Rough Lock Nell" plied their trade. The first local government began with the creation of the Tax Payer's Association in December, 1897. The members petitioned the provincial government at Victoria for schools, roads, bridges, a provincial police constable and a jail. The need for police and a jail had become evident just the previous month before the Association was formed when a gang broke into the British Columbia Mercantile and Mining Syndicate's store, relieving them of 150 pounds of tobacco and one shotgun. The store's manager, Stanley Mayall, realized that the thieves intended to sell the tobacco and informed eve... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12431506 ... Read more

Excerpt: Langley, British Columbia (city) -Early European settlement in the area was known as "Innes Corners" (after homesteader Adam Innes); in 1911, the area became known as "Langley Prairie." The numerous small communities later came together as Langley Township, but owing to its more urban development and related needs (such as street lights), the City of Langley decided to separate and incorporate as a separate municipality on March 15, 1955. The City of Langley is home to six Elementary schools and one Middle school (H. D. Stafford Middle School). Future high school students from this catchment area may attend high schools in the surrounding Langley District Municipality. The City of Langley is served by The South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (Also known as Translink). Translink operates the regional transportation network and is also the regional transportation authority. Langley is served by 7 Regular bus routes, and 5 "Community Shuttle" routes operating smaller capacity mini buses. The Fraser highway is one of the major east-west corridors servicing the City of Langley and the Township of Langley. The 502 bus route operates on a 15 minute headway (7-10 minutes during rush hour) from the Surrey Central Skytrain station in north Surrey to the Langley Centre bus loop in the City of Langley via Fraser Highway, with every 2 departure continuing through the Township of Langley to Aldergrove. The other major routes include the 320 Surrey Central Station (via Cloverdale), 341 Guildford (via Cloverdale, ... Read more

Excerpt: North Vancouver was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It first appeared on the hustings in 1916 and at the time of its creation included West Vancouver as well as North Vancouver. Prior to its creation the North Shore had been part of the Vancouver riding.. The North Vancouver riding last appeared in the election of 1963, after which it was partitioned into North Vancouver-Capilano, North Vancouver-Seymour, and West Vancouver-Howe Sound. This area is represented today by North Vancouver-Seymour and North Vancouver-Lonsdale. The Lonsdale riding covers an area similar to North Vancouver-Capilano.

The latter includes areas formerly part of the old Lillooet riding West Vancouver-Capilano includes western areas of North Vancouver formerly part of North Vancouver-Capilano.
