Instead I was enthralled with a lively range of fiction and non-fiction stories and poems about towns and valleys and characters that rang so true to my own experiences, growing up in, and returning as an adult to my hometown of Lillooet and Southern British Columbia. This anthology belongs on the bookshelves of anyone fascinated by the history, colour, and texture of rural BC. Supplemented with amazing photographs and sketches, the authors have brought my favourite places to life.” – Christ’l Roshard, former mayor of Lillooet, former editor of Bridge River – Lillooet News “Voices from the Valleys reflects the uniqueness, diversity and cultural richness that exists in BC’s interior. This wonderful collection of stories and poems is a treat for anyone.” – Gary Doi, former school superintendent and creator of the Inspiring Hope book series “What truly captures the unique beauty of a region are the people who live there. Voices from the Valleys, a creative and special collection from passionate and talented authors, is a delightful read.” – Dan Albas, MP for Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola “A visual artist might use canvas, oil, or watercolour to capture the tones and textures of our vivid interior valleys. My delight with Voices from the Valleys is the spirit and emotion of our regions’ stories expressed in the words of poets and authors: art in a written form. A wonderful and moving read.” – Craig Henderson, Naramata author, historian and broadcaster “Congratulations to Jodie Renner for bringing together such a stimulating collection of writing in Voices from the Valleys!

Well worth picking up and hard to put down, many of the stories slide the reader into the unique and beautiful geography of BC’s Interior. Though many of the topics are familiar, the skillful writing makes them new and intriguing.” – Coco Aders-Weremczuk, President, Federation of BC Writers “Voices of the Valleys is an absolute treasure, a tapestry of talent. I have always known the Shuswap Okanagan was a treasure trove of gifted writers. Jodie Renner has now provided the showcase proving this to be true. I found the variety of writing to be energizing and a delight to read.” – Kay Johnston, President of The Shuswap Association of Writers, Chair of Word on the Lake Writers’ Festival, author of the best-seller Spirit of Powwow “Voices from the Valleys is a thoroughly captivating collection of stories and poetry.

School Trustees Association and director of the Canadian School Board Association “The level of skill in these writers is par to bestselling authors.

  • Landforms of British Columbia 1976
    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.

  • British Columbia Rare Bird List
    British Columbia Rare Bird List: Casual and Accidental Records January 1, 2014: 3rd Edition compiled by Rick Toochin, Jamie Fenneman and Paul Levesque Comments? Contact E-Fauna BC The following is a rare bird list of the casual and accidental bird species that have been recorded within the boundaries of British Columbia. This list should be considered a starting point as there is currently no BC Provincial Records Committee and there is no publications are available that list all of the records in one document. Skin specimens, photographs, tape recordings, and/or adequate field notes document many of these records, and with the introduction of digital cameras to birding in the early 2000s many records in the past 10 years have been photographed; however, field notes remain extremely valuable and, particularly as some of these records are solely substantiated by field notes. In the case of records with no supporting documentation, the records are listed as “hypothetical” and are separated from the better substantiated (“confirmed”) records. In addition, for several species the identification is correct but the origin of the bird may be in question; these species are also considered “hypothetical” here. With the introduction of chat groups in 1999/2000, as well as personal birding blogs in the mid- to late 2000s, there are many more outlets to share and document birds today than in prior years. In many cases, digital photos accompany reported records, rendering the decisions of records committees almost obsolete for many sightings. These committees do play an important function in the review of records, however, as they provide an objective platform to help separate well-documented, and presumably accurate, records from those that are less reliable.
