  Strait of Georgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strait of Georgia from Burnaby Mountain, with Galiano Island and Vancouver Island in the distance
The Strait of Georgia (also known as Georgia Strait and the Gulf of Georgia) is a 240 km (150 mi)-long strait between Vancouver Island (as well as its nearby Gulf Islands) and the mainland Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Other potential problems are the width and depth of the strait and the soft consistency of the strait floor, as well as high seismic activity in the Vancouver Island region, and that the Strait is a heavily-used navigation channel.

 Client Profile Georgia Straight
For over 30 years the Georgia Straight has been an integral part of the Vancouver newspaper scene.
Starting as a fringe paper in the 60’s, it attracted more than its fair share of adverse publicity but came through it all to be one of the most significant "free" weekly papers in North America, outlasting many of its early critics.
A video made by the independent film producers, Tony Wade and Tom Crichton in 1997 entitled, "The Last Street Fighter—the History of the Georgia Straight" is a wonderful look at the story of the paper and of Dan Mcleod, its original and only publisher.

 Critics Say Pipeline May Punish Consumers, Charlie Smith, Georgia Straight, Dec 13, 2001
However, the Crown corporation still intends to build a controversial $260-million Georgia Strait Crossing (GSX) natural-gas pipeline to Vancouver Island, even though the Port Alberni power plant was listed in an application to the National Energy Board as a justification for the GSX project.
B.C. Hydro spokesperson Ted Olynyk told the Georgia Straight that another location for the plant will be found because Crown corporation officials want more power generated on Vancouver Island.
Arthur Caldicott, a resident of Cobble Hill, told the Straight that Centra Gas already has a renewable contract to deliver 80 percent of the natural gas on a "firm basis" to the Campbell River cogeneration plant.

 Georgia Straight- March 1997
Like Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and Cormack McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses, her eponymous, seven-song debut CD harkens back to a time when gunslingers settled their arguments at high noon and settlers buried their dead in unfinished pine boxes.
Settling into the Georgia Straight boardroom, Oh Susanna- aka Suzie Ungerleider- attempts to explain where the inspiration for her haunting work comes from.
Whereas most country songwriters never get beyond honky-tonk bars and two-timing spouses, Oh Susanna explores the dark side of life, coming up with lyrics like "The deathyard's callin' Me/Rumblin' round the track/So I'll make the rails my wire/And my pillow iron fl."
