  • Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
    MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.

  • Cortes Island Community Broadband Plan About Cortes Island
    CORTES ISLAND COMMUNITY BROADBAND PLAN ABOUT CORTES ISLAND Cortes Island is approximately 25 km long and 13 km wide, situated at the northern end of the Salish Sea (Strait of Georgia), between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland. Accessible via a 40-minute ferry ride from Quadra Island and a shorter 10 minute ferry crossing from the City of Campbell River. Like many other west coast communities, Cortes Island was inhabited by Indigenous peoples prior to colonization. Coast Salish people made use of Cortes Island for thousands of years, but a smallpox epidemic decimated the population in the late 1700’s. Today, the Klahoose First Nation live at Squirrel Cove. The Indigenous comprise of 7.0% of Cortes Island’s total population.1, 2 The island currently has about 1,035 full-time residents, and most live on the southern portion. The largest age cohort on Cortes Island is 15-64 years old and they comprise 58.9% of the population. The remainder of the population is comprised of seniors (28.0%), children 14 years old and younger (13.1%) and the median age of the population is 53.5 years.1 The population increases in the summer, as Cortes hosts about 3,000 people per day. 3 Cortes Island is a member of the Strathcona Regional District’s Area B. The median value of a home is $300,973 with a $383 median monthly cost of home ownership. Median monthly cost is the total cost for a mortgage, property taxes, and the cost of electricity, heat, water, and other municipal services.

  • Cortes Island the Strathcona Community Health Network Is Pleased to Share These Community Health Profiles
    Social Determinants of Health Fact Sheet: Cortes Island The Strathcona Community Health Network is pleased to share these community health profiles. We have developed a community health profile for each of the eight communities within our region. Community health profiles were developed for two purposes: 1) to support the ongoing work of the Strathcona Community Health Network, and 2) to build capacity within the Strathcona region. 1. The Strathcona Community Health Network (SCHN) has articulated our approach to work, which includes a commitment to being evidence-informed by balancing the best available data with local knowledge in collaborative decisions. These community health profiles, then, have created an opportunity to define and collect or generate local data to support decision making and future action by the SCHN. 2. Perhaps more importantly, the SCHN’s approach also involves community capacity building. Per our Strategic Plan, we “encourage a capacity building approach so the community is strengthened and partners grow and improve their knowledge, skills and infrastructure through engaging with the network.” Community health profiles can be used to build community capacity in many ways, including the following: • Use the information within to support planning and decision-making processes. • Utilize this report as evidence when applying for grant funding and/or providing evaluation information to funders. • Employ the information within when advocating for policy changes at all levels of government. • Connect with the individuals, organizations, and coalitions within your community that are working towards greater outcomes. If you’d like more information about these groups, please contact us. • Initiate conversations with your neighbours, family, friends, and colleagues about the information that stood out to you.
