...local governments in B.C. may establish community heritage registers to formally list real property that they identify as having heritage value or heritage character. A key piece of each record on a community heritage register is the Statement of Significance. This is the part that satisfies the Local Government Act requirement to indicate the reasons why property included in a community heritage register is considered to have heritage value or heritage character. A Statement of Significance (SoS): summarizes the description, heritage value and character-defining elements of each historic place reflects modern values concerning history and historic places identifies what part of history a historic place represents, and how and why that is of value and importance today Writing a Statement of Significance about a historic place does not establish its heritage value. The SoS simply records the heritage values that community members already associate with the place. It shows how a particular historic place represents broader community heritage values that, ideally, have been identified in advance through extensive research and community consultation as part of the local government’s heritage conservation program. The heritage values identified within a Statement of Significance extend beyond the physical aspects of the historic place.

...Leadville, Colorado My first choice of historic places to visit for this assignment was Sand Creek Massacre, but after doing a bit of looking and researching, it is a bit more than a hop and skip from me, so that will be one of my summer road trips. Instead, I am choosing Leadville, Co. I found this town an interesting and rich part of Colorado history. After all, this is where Horace Tabor ended up starting his rise of wealth with the Little Pittsburg and the Matchless Mine. I enjoyed reading about him and his adventures so I decided this was where I would go to see the town and history myself. From doing some research I have learned that Leadville is one of the most historic towns in Colorado with a colorful history. Leadville has a rich history that started when gold was discovered in the California Gulch, during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. Leadville boomed so fast that it fell behind in basic services. For this reason, many residents were lost to Cholera, a waterborne disease. Colorado can thank Leadville for some of the national notoriety that brought others out West in the hopes of striking it rich. Not only the mining history but just the famous and fascinating people who have put their mark on Leadville, such as Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. In 1880, Leadville ranked as the second largest city, only behind Denver. Leadville has had its many ups and downs of booms and busts. As quick as the boom came in, it went out when the little Pittsburg ran out of rich ore in...

With this population it is the 45th most populated city in Florida. Ocala is well know the horse capital of the world.

One of his horses won a large race making the first thoroughbred to be raised in Florida right out of Ocala. The community itself is well populated and is often considered to be congested at times with due to the minimum about of main roads in the small city. There is variety of subdivision in Ocala that definitely shows many of the residenta economic status. There are some areas that have homes that should be condemned, as they are not well kept.

...White Water Rafting ACC 543 April 2, 2012 White Water Rafting Consultation When considering options to choose when starting a whitewater rafting business, one can become overwhelmed by the number of laws and regulations in place that must be followed and which can limit other decisions for the location and running of the business. Insurance laws and land use regulations vary from state to state; both of these will have a significant impact on how a company conducts business.

...The Astrodome Wendy Herrera English 1301 Negussie Abebe November 6, 2015 Wendy Herrera English 1301 Negussie Abebe November 6, 2015 The Astrodome The Astrodome was deemed the “Eighth Wonder of the World” when it was constructed in 1964 and opened in 1965. As the world’s first indoor, air conditioned domed stadium. The Dome hosted a variety of activities like sports and events. It has a lot of history for example it had famous celebrities performed there. The Astrodome has been declared the National Register of Historic Places both for its architectural and cultural significance. It became the most important, distinctive and influential stadium ever built in the United States. This is why I believe the Astrodome should not be demolished as they are planning to do. James Glassman, a Houston preservationist, calls the Astrodome the city’s Eiffel Tower and the “physical manifestation of Houston’s soul.” New York could afford to tear down old Yankee Stadium, Glassman said, because the city had hundreds of other signature landmarks. “There was a confluence of space-age, Camelot-era optimism, and we were right there,” said Glassman, founder of the Web site Houstorian.org “It really set us on the road for a go-go future.” Mickey Mantle hit the first home run at the Astrodome in an exhibition game, causing the scoreboard to flash “Tilt.” Judy Garland, the Supremes, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson played concerts there.
