Urban Environmental History in Anglophone Canada
Part of a larger forum on the state of urban history in Canada, this article surveys recent literature in Canadian urban environmental history. The authors conclude that the city remains an important frame of analysis for Canadian historians. Recent work by Canadian environmental historians demonstrates that historians continue to address urban developments, but their contributions are less likely to appear under the umbrella of “urban history” a…

A History of Oil Spills on Long-Distance Pipelines in Canada
Leaks and spills have been endemic on long-distance oil pipelines in Canada since the mid-twentieth century. Evidence from the National Energy Board (neb) pipeline incident reports reveals a track record of thousands of spills totalling millions of litres of oil across the country. What causes onshore oil spills? Why do they occur? Where have they occurred? What have been the environmental consequences of these incidents? This article explores th…

The Great Epizootic of 1872–73
This article examines the outbreak of an unknown illness (later thought to be equine influenza) among the horses of Toronto and its subsequent spread as a continent-wide panzootic. Known as the Great Epizootic, the illness infected horses in nearly every major urban center in Canada and the United States over a 50-week period beginning in late September 1872. The Great Epizootic not only illustrated the centrality of horses to the functioning of …

Demonstration Wildlife
Since 1931, Canada has been a majority urban society with most of its population concentrated in a handful of southern cities. Given the urban character of Canadian society in the twentieth century, histories of large city parks, such as Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, illustrate the changing relationship between people and wild animals in Canada because they represent local, regular encounters with a diverse range of animal species. The histories…
Restoring Nature
Through an analysis of the forest restoration policies of the Vancouver Park Board and public reactions to periodic extreme weather events in the Lower Mainland in the twentieth century, this article examines the complicated interrelationship between history, memory, and ecology in the production of the landscape of Stanley Park. Urban park history in North America tends to focus on political, social, and cultural forces that shaped park design i…
