Nature
Mount Seymour, in Mount Seymour Provincial Park on Vancouver’s North Shore, rises above Burrard Inlet and nearby valleys and is known both as a ski hill and a major hiking destination. Named for Frederick Seymour, it became more accessible in the 1920s, was made a provincial park in 1936, and developed gradually as a publicly owned ski area later run under private management. Beyond recreation, it became a landmark in Canadian broadcasting when the first television broadcast in Western Canada was transmitted from its towers in 1953. The mountain also honors rescue leader Tim Jones, whose name was given to Second Peak in 2017.
