  • Fernie Food Action Strategy 2021
    FERNIE FOOD ACTION STRATEGY 2021 1 - Fernie Food Action Strategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Fernie Food Security Strategy (FFAS) is rooted in the urgent need to better understand our food system, identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and design policy and community action that will strengthen the local food system for the environmental, social and economic betterment of our community. The need has existed for years, but local community awareness and demand for better long-term planning for local food security and food system resilience has been elevated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Public reactions to the pandemic have highlighted the fragility of both our local food systems and commercial supply chains that primarily rely on importation of food and other goods. Greater awareness of the vulnerability of our food system has resulted from the pandemic, and communities across the globe are innovating for effective policy and local actions to address the issue. The Elk Valley is no different, and we have seen a surge in interest from local residents in the topics of food supply chains, food know-how, self-reliance and resilience. This is an opportunity for local government and civil society to learn from the responses in other jurisdictions, and to design a strategy that cultivates a thriving and resilient food system in the Elk Valley sub-region of the East Kootenay, addressing both food security and climate change adaptation. After reviewing key food systems literature, engaging with nearly 150 Fernie residents and consulting with City of Fernie (COF) staff, we developed four initial recommendations. These recommendations align with already identified COF policy and priorities from both the 2014 Official Community Plan (OCP) and 2016 Fernie Water Smart Plan, as well as the 2014 RDEK Agricultural Plan.

  • Classification of the Himalaya
    Classification of the Himalaya COMPILED BY H. ADAMS CARTER This study aims to classify the different groups of the Himalaya from its eastern end westward through the peaks of Garhwal (Uttar Pradesh) in India. Wherever data have been available, it gives a listing of all peaks above 6500 meters (21,326 feet) and all officially named peaks between 6000 meters (19,685 feet) and 6500 meters with altitudes and coordinates. In some ranges, where peaks are lower, some unnamed peaks in the second category have been included. The Nepalese section depends almost entirely on the outstanding work done by Dr. Harka Gurung and Dr. Ram Krishna Shrestha. These two Nepalese scholars put together an inventory of all Nepalese peaks above 6000 meters with the latest altitudes, corrected names and coordinates. They used primarily the Survey of India topographic sheets at a scale of an inch to a mile (1:63,360). They also used maps ar 1:50,000 prepared for the Sino-Nepalese Boundary Agreement of 1979. For the Indian regions, extensive use was made of three maps published by the Schweizerische Stiftung fur Alpine Forschungen (Swiss Foundation for Al- pine Research) of Sikkim, Garhwal East and Garhwal West. Harish Kapadia and Dhiran Toolsides in particular gave great assistance by checking Indian data against further information available to them. Colonel Lakshmi Pati Shanna made valuable suggestions. Dr. Shi Yafeng also helped by providing an excel- lent Chinese map of the Everest region. In all sections, the Japanese Mountain- eering Maps of the World proved indispensable. Dr. Zbigniew Kowalewski had made fine studies, which are reflected here.

  • Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal
    Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal VULUMC AAV lyOil ISSN 0524-5613 Tfo Umveuihj of fy&Uk Columbia Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT STUDLY'S MESSAGE This year I've come across many names of old members of the past sixty years whose exploits in the mountains and elsewhere are well known. This is indicative of the vast history of the club, a history reflected in all aspects of club life, from the traditional trips to the Salty Dog Rag. This is the twenty-fifth year that the club has chosen to put down a part of that history in print and this issue should serve as a reminder to all members of the wealth of experiences inherent in the club. The journal however, as a permanent record of the club, is worthy of far more attention than it receives. This may be due partly to the character­ istic low profile that it has had with respect to both design and circulation. I hope therefore that the efforts and results of this year's journal committee set a standard to be repeated every year and not just every twenty- f i ve. This year, with almost three hundred members in the club, there has been a growth in popularity in the regular events as well as several exciting new projects. The rock school was a great success, with just under a hundred participants and much snow and ice expertise was passed on in three glacier schools. The highlights of the year though, were two slightly more tangible out­ lets of expertise and enthusiasm.

Southampton Local History Forum Journal Richard Preston John Lawrence Milton (c1793-1869): "teetotaller, homerpathist and omnireligionist" It is rare to start an article in this journal with a quotation (taken verbatim) from a Tasmanian newspaper - the Hobarton Mercury, 15 November 1854. It reflects the multifaceted nature of a man who touched the lives of three continents, and whose comet shone brightly but erratically over Southampton in the 1840s.
