- Object History
- Obtained from the Bridge Studio Burnaby circa 2006. The Bridge Studios was built in 1987 on 15 acres of land that was formerly part of the Dominion Bridge bridge-building plant. From 1930 until the mid 1970s, Dominion Bridge constructed steel structures ranging from portions of the Golden Gate and Lions Gate Bridges to holding tanks for pulp mills. Several of the Dominion Bridge buildings were re-used by the studio, including the Cafeteria Building, the Boiler House, and the Compressor Building. In the mid-1970s filming began on a temporary basis in unused portions of the plant. In 1987, after lobby efforts by local film industry unions, guilds, and suppliers, the Government of British Columbia agreed to invest in renovating the site to create a permanent studio facility in order to ensure that BC had a stable base of operations for film production. The Bridge Studios, the first dedicated studio facility in Vancouver, opened for business in 1987 with television series "MacGyver" and the feature film "Stakeout" among the first productions to have used the facility.

- Object History
- The Citizens Against Transmission Towers (CATT) was a grassroots organization that was formed in 1994 by resident on either side of Boundary Road in Vancouver and Burnaby. The power lines were put up all along half of Boundary Road in 1948 as a result of an urgent need by Vancouver and Burnaby city councils. At the time, they were not built to the current (1990s) safety standards, as they were intended to be temporary. The group was concerned about the safety of the old structures as well as about the health concerns sometimes associated to power lines.
