Mary Ellen Smith not first woman in prov legislature in Canada
Smith was third woman MLA in Canada, not the first. Alberta elected two in 1917 - Louise McKinney and Roberta MacAdams 68.150.222.51 (talk) 05:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Title should be Vancouver B.C.
According to wikipedia "Vancouver, Washington" was incorporated in 1867. Gastown was the name of this town before it was renamed some 20 years later in 1886 to Vancouver, British Columbia according to wikipedia "Vancouver".
Let us be consistent. There are at least two Vancouvers and the reader should easily identify which one is being addressed. Regor23 (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

The picture of Vancouver’s skyline is from 2006
