January 11-14, 1950 Source: the Daily News, January 12 and 14, 1950; National Post, January 6, 2005; Stethem and Schaerer 1980 January 11-14, 1950 Source: The Daily News, January 12 and 14, 1950; National Post, January 6, 2005; Stethem and Schaerer 1980. Details: Early January, a combination of an “Arctic Express,” a mass of unusually cold air from Alaska and a “Pineapple Express,” a series of warm, extremely wet storms hit the Pacific coast from British Columbia to California. That month, 53 cm of snow hit Seattle, killing 13 people in an extended freeze (National Post, January 6, 2005). Overnight January 11-12, 2.5-8 in. (6.3-20 cm) of snow that fell in the Lower Mainland snarled transportation and communication along the southern coast of British Columbia. Heavy drifts delayed railway traffic. During a three-week period in January, severe storms caused three highway closures in the Fraser Canyon. Overnight January 11-12, the lower Mainland was hit by another snowstorm. Along the extreme southern coast, a series of minor disturbances forming on the south coast of Vancouver Island brought considerable snowfall. During the night, the Vancouver International Airport recorded 5.5 in. (13.8 cm) and North and West Vancouver 14 in. (36.4 cm) of snow. Transportation and communication along the southern coast of British Columbia were threatened, while heavy drifts were delaying train traffic (The Daily News, January 12, 1950). Between January 1-13, Hope recorded 25 in. (100 cm) of snow. For the winter 1949-50 till January 11 at 10 p.m., a total of 81.5 in. (203.75 cm) had fallen here. Students from Spuzzum were unable to attend classes in Hope for several days until the road to Spuzzum was cleared. On January 14, snowdrifts up to 15 ft. (4.5 m) deep blocked roads in the Fraser Valley and as much as 6,000 ft. (1,800 m) long. In Camp Chilliwack, 500 members of the Royal Canadian Engineers were marooned and had only food for one day left. The Royal Canadian Air Force planned airlifts to replenish their supplies (The Daily News, January 14, 1950). On January 14, a rock and snow avalanche 13 km south of Boston Bar struck a Canadian National Railway (CNR) snowplow. The crew had parked the plow and returned north with the engine to pick up some other equipment, leaving the foreman with the plow. The plow was carried part way down the embankment towards the river. The foreman, whose body was never found, was presumably swept into the river. The cause of the avalanche was attributed to rain, which weakened the snow at the canyon walls (Stethem and Schaerer 1980). January 23, 1950 Source: The Daily News, January 26, 1950; The Cariboo Observer, January 26, 1950. Details: On January 23 at about 4:30 a.m., a northbound PGE freight train derailed after hitting a rock slide about 0.5 mi. (800 m) south of Craig Lodge, on the outskirts of Lillooet. The locomotive plunged into Seton Lake, carrying engineer Alex Munro and fireman Harry Seymour to their death. The water at the point below where they left the right-of-way was so deep, that no trace of the locomotive, or its occupants was found. A freight car containing a shipment of fuel oil also fell into the lake. Regular traffic on the line was suspended for two days. February 5-8, 1950 Source: Bridge River-Lillooet News, February 6, 9, 16 and 23, 1950; The Cariboo Observer, February 23, 1950. Details: On February 5, the snowfall was general over Vancouver Island. Duncan recorded 18 in. (45 cm) of snow. At the appeal of Duncan’s mayor, the citizens worked from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. clearing sidewalks and streets. Heavy rain and wet snow caused snowslides in the Fraser Valley interrupting traffic on both rail lines. Near Yale, a snowslide engulfed a CPR passenger train. Seven rail cars were buried. The 37 passengers escaped unharmed. Snow slides near Yale stopped CNR mainline railway traffic for two weeks. Around the second week of February, snowslides closed the PGE rail line. Service was interrupted for little over one week. The slides also cut the communication lines in several places. The tie-ups forced cancellation of most of the PGE service during the first three weeks in February. Most of the slides came down near Lillooet, with “particularly bad ones” at Seton and Anderson lakes. February 27, 1950 Source: The Daily News, February 27; March 3, 1950. Details: On February 27, tons of rain-loosened mud and rock killed a 42-year old Native Indian woman of American Bar. The slide narrowly missed three other members of her family. It ripped out nearly 400 ft. (120 m) of CNR track, delaying railway traffic in and out of Vancouver. *1) --------------------------- *1) Till February 27, Vancouver reported a record 8.07 in. (205 mm) of rain breaking the previous record of 7.28 in. (184.9 mm) set in February 1948. June 16-21, 1950 (Spring runoff/flooding). Source: The Chilliwack Progress, June 21 and 28, November 20, December 6, 1950; The Vancouver Sun, June 16, 1972; Environment Canada 1991. Details: On June 20, the Fraser River at Hope recorded maximum instantaneous and daily discharges of 12,600 and 12,500 m3/s, respectively (Environment Canada 1991). On June 20, the river crested at the Mission gauge at 24.19 ft. This is the third highest reading in recorded history. Next morning, it was down slightly to 24.12 ft. and on June 22 it dropped further to 23.98 ft. On June 21, the Fraser River crested at the Minto Landing gauge at 21.95 ft. *1) On June 16, the Agassiz ferry was tied up due to high water in the Fraser River. At Rosedale, debris was building up against the bridge near the ferry approach. In the morning of June 17, Herrling Island in the Cheam View district was evacuated. Eighteen people with their cattle and livestock were moved to higher ground on the south bank. On June 17-18, crews cleared a debris jam from centre span of the Vedder River bridge. Seepage occurred at several points along the dike on the east bank of Vedder Canal. On June 17 around noon, nine families and their cattle were evacuated from outside the Agassiz dike. Army engineers did a major repair job on the bridge crossing the Hope River north of the junction of the Big Ditch and the Trans-Canada Highway. On the morning of June 18 at the rear of the new Vedder Canal bridge, loose sand that had been moved to the rear of the concrete pier gave way. A dike patrolman who was pinned against the wire escaped without injury. Overnight June 18-19, Bowman Mill’s private road dike cracked north and west of the mill. Greendale and Atchelitz residents worked on repairing the dike till 3 a.m. on June 19. Later that day, the mill closed down. The privately owned dike, sweeping out in an extended “U” from the Cannor dyke at Cannor Road, was built following the 1948 flood to protect the O. Bowman & Sons mill. It was not expected to hold beyond the river reaching the 22 ft.- (6.6 m) level. On June 20, mill workers and volunteers were still holding the dike when the river was well above 24 ft. (7.2 m). On June 20 on the Mouline farm at Harrison Mills, the floodgate burst under pressure, cutting a hole in the base of the Fraser River dike. In an eight-hour battle, the hole was plugged with tons of earth and rocks. On the afternoon of June 20, workmen started digging a ditch through the Sharon Mennonite Collegiate Institute grounds to drain seepage and some Vedder River overflow into Stewart Creek, which provides natural drainage to the Yarrow area. The CNR was strengthening its roadbed with tons of rock. The water between the dike and the roadbed was higher than outside the roadbed causing seepage to occur at two points. Overnight June 20-21, floodwaters on the Fraser River caused seepage along the Chilliwack dike near the Hope Slough. Some 25 men working in three shifts kept boils along the Greendale dike under control. The Bowman Sawmill dike was softening continually under the pressure of the water. The CNR line along the Cannor dyke was patrolled constantly. Overnight, water levels in the Vedder River reached 24.35 ft. In the Chilliwack area, most undyked land was under water and extensive seepage took place behind the levees. After flooding occurred at the foot of DeWolfe Ave., poultry and cattle had to be moved. Outside the Young Road dike, homes and the abattoir were flooded with several feet of water. Though the Fraser River was only inches below the 1948 peak, water alongside local dikes was still about 1-1.5 ft. (30-45 cm) below levels established in 1948. All homes and properties outside the dike flooded in 1948, flooded again after water came in through the Jones’ property at the north end of Jesperson Road. At the foot of Young Road, water spilled into Hope River. The Vedder River overflowed its banks, covering close to 100 ac. (40 ha) of farm- and bushland and forcing six families from their homes. On Brown and Wilson roads, two arteries leading north from Vedder Crossing to Yarrow Highway, 200 yd. (180 m) were impassable by fast running water spreading over adjacent land. On June 21 in the Chilliwack and Kent municipalities, flood emergency bylaws became effective, giving the city and township authorities wide powers to commandeer men and equipment in the event of a crisis.

  • Th« Varsity Outdoor Ckh Journal
    Th« Varsity Outdoor Ckh Journal VOLUME XIV 1971 The VmvetAihj of 3titttA Cdumka Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE During the past year, I have sometimes "been asked "Just what is the Varsity Outdoor Club?" Believe me, it was not an easy question to answer; Waffling, I would reply, "The V.O.C. is special­ ized groups such as rock climbers, ski-tourers, snowshoers, canoeists, downhill-skiers, and moun­ taineers, each with its own Ideals and codes. It is the broad, nebulous group of hikers and skiers who like to do a "bit of everything11. Above all, it is people who like to have fun, whether in a Crestline during a blizzard, huddled around the fireplace at Whistler, or Salty-Dogging it at a party. This is the common tie that binds us to­ gether as V.O.C.ers." This year, the Club has been engaged in num­ erous controversies. The relative merits of hut- building, trailbuilding and increasing membership were questioned. The liquor rule was debated ad infinitum and generated much feeling. The cul­ mination of the debate in a vote twice in one year shows how key the alcohol question really is. The cabin, as always, was also a major source of controversy. The coherent, logical, and well- informed discussion of these problems is the sure sign of a healthy club. These issues are Impor­ tant and it is fundamental that they be discussed as much and by as wide a cross-section of members as possible. It is only in this way that the changes that do occur will be in the best interest of the V.O.C.

Indigenous History in Burnaby Resource Guide 6501 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby, BC V5G 3T6 | 604-297-4565 | burnabyvillagemuseum.ca 2019-06-03 The Burnaby School District is thankful to work, play and learn on the traditional territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwxwú7mesẖ speaking people. As we inquire into learning more about the history of these lands, we are grateful to Burnaby Village Museum for working with our host First Nation communities. The knowledge being shared in this resource guide through our local communities supports the teaching and learning happening in our classrooms. It deepens our understanding of the history of our community and will increase our collective knowledge of our host First Nations communities’ history in Burnaby. In our schools, this guide will assist in creating place-based learning opportunities that will build pride for our Indigenous learners through the sharing of this local knowledge, but also increase understanding for our non-Indigenous learners. Through this guide, we can move closer to the Truth and Reconciliation’s Call to Action 63 (i and iii): 63. We call upon the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada to maintain an annual commitment to Indigenous education issues, including: i. Developing and implementing Kindergarten to Grade Twelve curriculum and learning resources on Indigenous peoples in Canadian history, and the history and legacy of residential schools. iii. Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. We would like extend thanks to Burnaby Village Museum staff for their time and efforts in creating this resource guide.

  • Miners' Meetings and Mining Boards: the Development of Mining Law In
    Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills A Thesis in The Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2016 © Thomas Oscar Mills, 2016 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Thomas Oscar Mills Entitled: Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski Chair Dr. Eric H. Reiter Examiner Dr. Gavin Taylor Examiner Dr. Wilson Chacko Jacob Supervisor Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date Abstract Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills Miners’ meetings were a customary legal practice from California that was imported to British Columbia during the Fraser River gold rush (1858). To date, there has been limited recognition of this practice’s influence on the development of British Columbia. The historical works that do exist on the subject argue that the practice was not established in the colony owing to the Colonial Government’s allowance for Mining Boards, a representative institution, by The Gold Fields Act, 1859. To the contrary, this thesis looks at the different ways that miners’ meetings and miners’ customary law were expressed and adapted to conditions in British Columbia before and after the passing of The Gold Fields Act, 1859.

  • Birken Buddhist Forest MONASTERY: Asian Migration, the Creative Class, and Cultural Transformation in the New Pacific British Columbia
    Birken Buddhist Forest MONASTERY: Asian Migration, the Creative Class, and Cultural Transformation in the New Pacific British Columbia Luke Clossey and Karen Ferguson* ne night in the mid-1990s police and ambulance responded to a medical emergency at a broken-down shack on the road between Mount Currie and D’Arcy in the Birkenhead Valley Onear Pemberton, two hundred kilometres north of Vancouver in the Coast Mountain range. Bumping their heads against the low doorframe, they were surprised to find inside a collapsed neighbour from down the road being tended to by a dozen young Thai women, a thirty-year-old German man, and a Canadian in his early forties. The men were wearing ochre robes and were bald, beardless, and eyebrow-less. This was Birken Forest Monastery. The Canadian was Venerable (Ven.) Sona (né Tom West), a Buddhist monk born and brought up mostly in the suburbs of Vancouver but now following the orthodox Thai forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. In June1994 , he travelled from the Sri Lankan Buddhist Vihara Society (BVS) temple in Surrey, BC, to a cluster of unwinterized, off-grid shacks on the gold rush–era Pemberton Portage Road near Pemberton. There, along with his German-born fellow monk, Ven. Piyadhammo, he succeeded in establishing only the second North American foothold of the Thai forest tradition founded by a non-Asian monk.1 This tradition has since spread globally to become one of the most successful Theravada monastic orders outside Asia, particularly among non-Asian converts. * We’re grateful to our research participants for their generosity in sharing their memories with us.

  • Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; Updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013
    Early Trail Building in the New Colony of British Columbia — John Hall’s Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. A recent “find” of colonial correspondence in the British Columbia Archives tells a story about the construction of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails between 1862 and 1864 by pioneer settler John Hall. (In 1870 Hall pre-empted 160 acres of Crown Land on Indian Arm and became Belcarra’s first European settler.) The correspondence involves a veritable “who’s who” of people in the administration in the young ‘Colony of British Columbia’. This historic account serves to highlight one of the many challenges faced by our pioneers during the period of colonial settlement in British Columbia. Sir James Douglas When the Fraser River Gold Rush began in the spring of 1858, there were only about 250 to 300 Europeans living in the Fraser Valley. The gold rush brought on the order of 30,000 miners flocking to the area in the quest for riches, many of whom came north from the California gold fields. As a result, the British Colonial office declared a new Crown colony on the mainland called ‘British Columbia’ and appointed Sir James Douglas as the first Governor. (1) The colony was first proclaimed at Fort Langley on 19th November, 1858, but in early 1859 the capital was moved to the planned settlement called ‘New Westminster’, Sir James Douglas strategically located on the northern banks of the Fraser River.
