#HistoryWeek2017

In case you didn’t know, it was History Week from November 20 to the 26th. In light of this, the PLP class made videos about the namesakes of various places in Vancouver. In my group we did a video around Mount Seymour and the reason why it is called Mount Seymour.

It was named Mount Seymour after the Fredric Seymour, the second govern of British Colombia. The mountain was open for skiing and snow boarding in 1949 which is what the mountain is mostly used for now. Later in 1986 the Lodge chair was installed follow up by the installation of the Brockton chair in 1990, and the same chair is still used to this day.

“Brockton chair”

Mount Seymour is a place of fun for many people. Nowadays, there are many activities done on Seymour like going biking skiing, snowboarding or hiking.

This project took many steps to get to the spot that its at the first of which was to do the research which was mostly done on the Mount Seymour site. With all of our facts we started on the script:

Mt Seymour stands 1’449 meter above see level. My Seymour is named after Frederick Seymour who was the second governor of the colony of British Columbia.

Mt Seymour opened it doors in 1938 under the ownership of Herald Enqvist. The beginning of my Seymour consisted of a t bar a cafeteria and a ski rental shop.

In 1949 the government of British Columbia ended up buying Seymour from mr Enqvist. The government of bc owned the mountain up until 1984 when it was bought by the woods family.

In 1960 the mystery chair was installed as well as other chairs later on such as the lodge and Brockton. In 2010 the mountain went under major upgrades such as a new mystery chair and a new bunny hill magic carpet.

Mt Seymour is Home to many different snowboarding and skiing events such as the Canadian Shield and the trans Atlantic snowboard events

My Seymour is also Home to many radio stations such as virgin radio and CBC radio.

There have been a lot movies that have been shot on my Seymour such as MacGyver,xfiles and hot tube time machine

My Seymour is not just a place to go skiing you can also go tubing as well as bobsledding and you can rent a pair of snowshoes and go for a nice scenic hike.

my Seymour is a mountain that is fun for all, family’s and pros.

Not only was Seymour fun for all, but it brought people together in a special way being able to go skiing and snow boarding

With the script we started on the went on to the video and for that we try to get clips but it was  snow to hard to record on the available day so we use some drone footage off of (incerte video link) and than put toss items together to make the video.
