It was recommended that historic places be inventoried, and from that a legacy initiative to formally recognize significant historic places under section 18 of the Heritage Conservation Act has been developed. A public nomination process was held, and 138 nominations representing 77 places were received for consideration for recognition. On April 2, 2015, a volunteer evaluation team made up of the members of the Legacy Initiatives Advisory Council (LIAC) Historic Places working group and board members of the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of British Columbia (CCHSBC) reviewed the 77 places that were nominated by the public. The purpose of the meeting was to create a shortlist of places, organized by level of significance, to put forward to the Minister responsible for Heritage with a recommendation that places with provincial significance should be considered for formal recognition. The evaluation process followed a values-based model, ensuring that the evaluators reviewed the nominated places based on how they represent the overarching heritage values of the Chinese Canadian community in British Columbia. Evaluation was guided by a historical context statement and thematic framework that provided a summary of the history of the role of Chinese Canadians in the development of British Columbia. In total, 19 historic places were selected to be recommended to Minister Thomson for formal recognition. These places are: 1. Cumberland Chinese Cemetery 2. Kamloops Chinese Cemetery 3. New Westminster Historic Chinese Cemetery 4. Nelson Chinatown/ Sing Chong Laundry, Nelson 5. New Westminster Chinatown 6. Chinese Business & Residences, Alert Bay 7. Coal Creek Park (Chinatown), Cumberland 8. Quesnel Forks 9. Nam Sing Ranch 10. Ahbau Creek, Lake & Bridge 11. Darcy Island 12. Lytton Joss House 13. Arrandale, Mill Bay and Nass Harbour Canneries 14.

Chinese Market Gardens at Musqueam Reserve #2 3 Chinese Canadian Historic Places Statements of Significance for Shortlisted Historic Places Statements of Significance – documents identifying the heritage values of each historic place – are included in this report. These statements were developed through historic research and consultation with members of the Chinese-Canadian community. The Statements of Significance provide rationale on why each place is considered to be significant at a provincial level and worthy of consideration for recognition. Historic Place Typologies for Recognition The nomination process also revealed that British Columbians see strong value for Chinese Canadian heritage in two types of places around the province. Both cemeteries and Chinatowns – or community “hubs” or “clusters” – received multiple nominations from communities all over B.C. In order to be able to understand the significance of each individual nominated place falling under these two types, it is important to understand their values as distinct groups. Overarching Statements of Significance are provided for both typologies in this report. 4 Chinese Canadian Historic Places Statements of Significance for Shortlisted Historic Places 1 Chinese Canadian Cemeteries Historic Place Chinese cemeteries, the burial sites of Chinese migrants and Chinese Canadians who died in British Columbia, are represented both by Chinese sections within cemeteries for the broader population and separate grounds used strictly for Chinese community burials. These cemeteries can be found all across B.C., in large cities, small communities and sites of former Chinese Canadian occupation. They range from famous Chinese Canadian sections in large cemeteries such as Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, Ocean View Cemetery in Burnaby, and Harling Point Cemetery in Victoria to small cemeteries and plots in smaller towns such as Ashcroft, Salmon Nanaimo Chinese cemetery. Arm and Quesnel. Some have elaborate headstones, others small in-ground markers, (courtesy of the nominator) and some show evidence of remains disinterred several years after burial and repatriated to China. Values As a group or type, Chinese Canadian cemeteries are highly significant everywhere in B.C. for their historical, aesthetic and scientific values, and are the physical embodiment of the spiritual, social and cultural practices of the people who created and used them. Offering table at Wild Horse Creek Chinese An enduring aspect of most early settlements, cemeteries play a significant role cemetery. (courtesy of the nominator) in commemorating the contribution of Chinese Canadians to the province, and for their representation of the spiritual values associated with Chinese Canadian culture in B.C. While in larger cities cemeteries may be part of a substantial Chinese Canadian community, in smaller towns they are often significantas the only historical reminder of the Chinese Canadians who lived and worked there. Chinese Canadian cemeteries are important for representing complex traditional burial practices in Chinese culture. The concept of ancestor worship honours the sacrifices and memories of deceased relatives, through visiting grave sites and providing provision for the journey to the afterlife. They often show evidence of remains interred seven to ten years after burial and None Gau gravesite in the Stanley Chinese repatriated to China, a common practice at the time for Chinese migrants. The cemetery. (courtesy of the nominator) cemeteries symbolize the traditional custom of visiting the graves of ancestors, relatives or close friends during the Double Ninth Festival, or the Qing Ming Festival, which also marks the middle of spring and a sacred day of the dead. Chinese Canadian cemeteries often have high aesthetic value through their adherence to feng shui principles, being in harmony with one’s environment and the link between the Yin and Yang worlds. These intricate principles insist on certain spatial orientation and placement within a landscape, such as a large wooded mountain behind the cemetery, an open, south-facing aspect to the of the sun, and the presence of a flowing body of water, all of which reflect the deeper spiritual values behind the location and design of these burial places.

(courtesy of the nominator) 5 Chinese Canadian Historic Places Statements of Significance for Shortlisted Historic Places Chinese Canadian Cemeteries Often symbolic of the discrimination practiced against Chinese Canadians, these cemeteries can reflect harmful societal values outside the Chinese community. Chinese Canadians were often excluded from established pioneer cemeteries or placed in segregated sections. This exclusion, and the physical removal of Chinese headstones, create an erroneous history of the past, one where only European pioneers shaped communities. Some Chinese cemeteries were entirely disregarded and were re-developed or covered by new construction, showing the minimal regard held for the spiritual and cultural practices of the Chinese community. Where Chinese cemeteries remain intact below new development, they have significant scientific value for archaeologists investigating past physical and cultural burial practices. Today, these cemeteries play a significant role in commemorating the contribution of Chinese Canadians to the province, embodying reverence for those buried

This year the Salt Spring Island Historical Society (SSIHS) and the Western Front Media Archive were chosen to receive this annual award. Each organization will receive $1000 to assist with their projects. The SSIHS, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Salt Spring Elementary School, will use the grant to preserve and document the early history of the school district #64 (Gulf Islands). They will create an oral history by interviewing former and current students and teachers. As well, photographs associated with SSI elementary school, staff, students and community members will be digitized. The results of the project will be added to their archives and be presented on their website: saltspringarchives.com. The Western Front Media Archives represents a small arts community active in Vancouver for over 40 years. They will use the grant to improve the organization and storage conditions of the textual records dating from the 1970s and 1980s. They will re-house artist files, posters and ephemera, which include key records like contracts, correspondence and publicity materials. A staff member will create an inventory list of the contents of the boxes while they are being re-housed. The Western Front Media Archives can be browsed at front.bc.ca - The 2015 Reksten Fund Committee: Don Reksten, Deidre Simmons, Ryan Gallagher (AABC). 1 Important Reminders from the FBCA Membership renewals are now due for September 2015 to August 2016 October 18th, 2015 at 2pm will be the FBCA’s annual general meeting.

The legend shows main roads, old and second class roads and trails. The map focuses on the region between the Fraser River to the west and Barkerville and Quesnel Forks in the east, with Quesnel River running diagonally across the map. The map's primary focus is the hydrographical details of the region, including noting an Old Hydraulic Pit, Hell Dredger, Lower Dredger, Reed Dredger? and Sunker Dredger. Several towns and Post Offices are noted, including Barkersville Stanley Beaver Pass Ho. Cottonwood Quesnel Quesnell Forks The map covers the region which was the scene of the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1861-67. By 1860, there were gold discoveries in the middle basin of the Quesnel River around Keithley Creek and Quesnel Forks, just below and west of Quesnel Lake. Exploration of the region intensified as news of the discoveries got out.

  • Barkerville and Its Buildings
    Eldorado Vernacular: Barkerville and Its Buildings Jennifer Iredale* ooden buildings from the gold rush era can be found from Victoria to Barkerville in British Columbia. Taken as a whole, this built heritage might be described as an “Eldorado WVernacular” – a legacy of a frenetic period of population movement, temporary settlement, and catch-as-catch can building – rather than as a formal architectural tradition.1 Isolation, the pressing need for shelter, a poorly developed transportation infrastructure, and abundant local forests spawned wooden structures designed for expedient domestic and functional purposes rather than for polite or monumental ends, many of them in “instant towns” such as Barkerville, founded in 1862 and historically the most important surviving gold rush settlement in the province.2 As early as 1924, Barkerville and the Cariboo goldfields were desig- nated as a national historic site by the government of Canada. In 1958, a provincial government committed to preserving evidence of the transformative gold rushes that had brought the mainland colony into existence a century before designated a number of historic places significant for their gold rush history, and Barkerville was reborn as a historic town and tourist attraction. In the years that followed, several * I wish to acknowledge and thank colleagues at Barkerville Historic Town whose work has contributed to this article, particularly past curators Clarence Wood, Ken Mather, and Bill Quackenbush as well as past ceo Judy Campbell and colleagues Ken Scopick, Ron Candy, Jennifer Morford, Dave Coulson, Anne Laing, Mandy Kilsby, Mike Will, and Richard Wright. Portions of this article appear in Another Wooden City among the Rocks: Historic Places of the Gold Rush in British Columbia, the Royal BC Museum’s catalogue accompanying the exhibition “Gold Rush! El Dorado in BC.” 1 Surviving examples of similar architectural traditions can be found in California (e.g., at Bodie and Columbia) and, dating to the Klondike gold rush, in Dawson City and Skagway.

    MULTI-PARAMETER ASSESSMENT OF SLOPE MOVEMENTS IN GLACIOLACUSTRINE SEDIMENTS, QUESNEL RIVER VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Ahren J. Bichler, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia Peter T. Bobrowsky, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario Melvyn E. Best, Bemex Consulting International Ltd., Victoria, British Columbia Abstract A detailed site investigation of a landslide on the upper Quesnel River is undertaken as part of a regional assessment of landslide activity. Along side more conventional stratigraphic and sedimentological investigative measures, geophysical surveying techniques are utilized to aid in the description of the internal structure of the landside and surrounding terrain This paper presents some of the preliminary results and interpretations of ground penetrating radar and direct current resistivity surveys and relates geophysical interpretations to the geologic structure of the terrace and landslide. They have proven their utility for subsurface mapping of landslides at two different scales. In addition, it is believed that surfaces of rupture have been imaged by both methods. Résumé Une investigation détaillée du site d’un glissement de terrain le long de la rivière Quesnel a été conduite dans le cadre d’une évaluation régionale de l’évaluation de l’aléa. En plus d’une reconnaissance stratigraphique et sédimentologique conventionnelle, le site du glissement de terrain a fait l’objet d’une investigation géophysique afin de décrire la structure interne de la zone affectée par le glissement de terrain et des secteurs adjacents. Cet article présente une interprétation préliminaire des résultats obtenus par géoradar et par résistivité en courant continu, et fait le lien entre l’interprétation des données géophysiques et les structures géologiques du glissement de terrain et de la terrasse.
