Bicycle route advocacy, North Vancouver, 1990 to 1992 (after being pulled over while riding my bike (Norco Super Sasquatch) up the upper levels. The RCMP officer was so mad his face was red and he wanted to fine me. I asked what route to take to ride from BCIT to Lonsdale and 22nd. He shrugged saying he didn't know. So I put together a case to the City of North Vancouver for bicycle routes in N. Van and on the Trans Canada highway upper levels at least to start.

what have people been saying about William Warren Munroe's Population Analysis?
Graduate level statistics Professor's reference which foreshadows my experience with those in BC Stats Population Section, Ministry of Labour and Citizens' Services.
Graduate level statistics course term paper examining variations in Infant Mortality Rates
what benefits have come from population analysis? Examples for British Columbia include publication of methods used by BC Stats to estimate population; consideration of fluctuating enrolment regarding school closures; high school recommended for permanent closure kept open.
After finding out that the method and data provided were not the method and data used to create population estimates and forecasts, the Population Projection Project was developed to provide verifiable replicable, not made up to support a government policy, well defined population projection scenarios.
