Le développe- Rment de la région de Vancouver rappelle les grandes villes américaines, mais dans un décor de montagnes vertes et de mer bleue avec vie sauvage et vie civilisée. La vallée de l’Okanagan rassemble, quant à elle, certains des meilleurs producteurs de vins au Canada et d’innombrables vergers. Les paysages grandioses de la Colombie-Britannique se bousculent devant nos yeux éblouis par la mer, les sommets enneigés et les couleurs du printemps, qui commence très tôt dans le sud de la province. Le rendez-vous avec la nature est mémorable; les cours d’eau qui mouillent les plages désertes invitent à la détente et à la rêverie. Les forêts majestueuses veillent à la sérénité des lieux inviolés par l’exploitation forestière. Riche de plusieurs parcs nationaux et provinciaux qui englobent les plus belles régions de la province, le sud de la Colombie-Britannique offre un paysage très varié, depuis les neiges éternelles jusqu’aux vallées désertiques, en passant par des cours d’eau qui foisonnent de poissons.

(Westmar) has been commissioned by the Village of Lions Bay to perform a desktop study to determine the possible threat of a tsunami. The main body of the project memorandum provides an overview of the investigation, with details provided in Appendix A. The location of Lions Bay within Howe Sound is shown in Figures 3 and 4 in Appendix B and photographs of the shore are shown in Appendix C. Westmar has worked with Dr. Michael Isaacson, P.Eng., Dean of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Dr. Michael Quick, P.Eng., Professor Emeritus, Civil Engineering Department at UBC, in performing this study, in addition to discussions with tsunami and geo-hazards experts. This study examines the sources and relative risks of tsunamis propagating to the Lions Bay site from the Pacific and from sources within the Strait of Georgia basin and Howe Sound area. 1.2 Definitions • Richter Scale: A logarithmic measure of earthquake magnitude, such that a magnitude change of 1.0 represents a 10 fold increase in amplitude (refer to Geological Survey of Canada (GSC)). Some of the larger magnitude earthquakes are described by the GSC as follows: • A Magnitude 7 earthquake is a “major” earthquake which causes serious damage up to about 100 km from the epicentre (e.g. a Magnitude 7.3 at Comox/Campbell River in 1946).

  • 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'.

  • British Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA British Columbia Canada's most westerly province, British Columbia is huge and diverse. If you love the great outdoors, you'll never be bored in a province that is so beautiful, with such variation, and with so many opportunities for hiking, rafting, sailing and skiing, to name just a few. British Columbia is studded with breathtakingly beautiful mountains that puncture vast, blue skies. You'll also find long stretches of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, wineries, orchards, forests and snowmelt-fed lakes. There is even Canada's only desert: Osoyoos, in the southern Okanagan, which is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions and prickly pear cacti. If you're seeking unspoiled wilderness, then British Columbia is the perfect province to lose yourself in. If you want company, however, there are plenty of modern and lively cities and towns in British Columbia. Vancouver has scores of galleries, museums and bars. But even in Vancouver you're never too removed from nature: the city contains Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park. Notable Attractions • Yoho National Park • Kootenay National Park • Tatshenshin-Alsek Provincial Park • Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve & Haida Heritage Site • Banff National Park • Jasper National Park ...And Much More!
