Dunvegan Hydro Power Project implications on Peace River Ice Regime: Undertook a five year study of the ice regime of the Peace River to assess the impact of the hydropower project on icerelated concems along the river. Stateofthe~art unsteady onedimensional modelling using the PRICE model (a version of CRISSP) was carried out to simulate flows and ice conditions along 1200 km of river. Pre and postproject ice conditions were simulated for a 23 year period and risk analysis of icerelated phenomena (water levels, ice cover duration, ice thickness, etc) was carried out to quantify water resource specialists David D. Andres, M.Sc.CE, P.Eng. the expected effects of the project. Flood Risk Assessment, Riversong Development on the Bow River at Cochrane: Carried out a review of historical ice data at freezeup as provided by TransAlta, simulated the freezeup levels with HECRAS, and identified icerelated flood risks on basis of flows and winter severity. Nechako River at Vanderhoof Flood Hazard Assessment: Updated the flood risk analysis for the post regulated period for the Nechako River at Vanderhoof. A comprehensive continuous flood routing model was developed to calculate runoff from ungauged areas and to assess the implications of various Nechako Reservoir operating protocols on flood peaks at Vanderhoof. Review of historical ice data was undertaken and icerelated flood risks were evaluated at both freeze~up and breakup as part of the flood risk assessment. Slave River Hydro Power Project: Carried out a preliminary study of ice and hydraulic processes on the Lower Peace River in anticipation of a complete EIA. Ghost Reservoir: Evaluated the effects if reservoir sedimentation and delta formation on the river and ice regime of the Lower Ghost River. Nechako River Floodplain Study, Prince George, BC: A historical evaluation of high ice levels, coupled with a Monte Carlo analysis that represented the effects of the dominant icerelated processes was undertaken to determine the flood risks along the Nechako River. This work addressed the most significant flood mechanisms along the Nechako River and was part of an overall flood n'sk analysis on the Fraser and Nechako Rivers. Taltson River ice Monitoring: Evaluated the dominant ice processes on the Taltson River system in the vicinity of the hydroelectric installation and developed a monitoring program to quantify the impact of regulation on the ice processes and the resulting winter ice conditions. Flood Protection at Fort Mcldurray, Alberta: Updated the ioe jam flood frequency curve for the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray and conducted a prefeasibility design study and cost estimates for providing flood protection by an innovative diking scheme that optimizes the existing flood proofing. Never Creek Flood Control, Hlxon BC: A HECRAS simulation of this small steep, highly mobile stream was undertaken to confinn the results of a previous floodplain study and to provide a hydraulic context for the application of simple ice jam models. ice jam frequency analysis was undertaken to assess the significance of midwinter breakup jams on both the flood risks and the integrity of riparian structures within the community, and a course of action was recommended to control bank erosion at more than twenty sites throughout the study area. Red River Floodway Expansion, Winnipeg, Manitoba: Extensive analysis of both open water and ice related flows was undertaken for the Red River downstream of the floodway. The work required an understanding of floodway operation, breakup initiation, and ice jam formation. The analysis assisted in the evaluation of the potential for the floodway expansion to exacerbate ice jams on the Red River downstream of the floodway outlet. Testimony was provided to summarize the results of the analysis at a public hearing. Yukon River Bridge at Dawson City, Yukon: Undertook a major study of open water flooding, and of freezeup and breakup processes to quantity the impact of the proposed bridge on the flood regime. HECRAS analysis of open water levels and icerelated water levels was used to assess the hydraulic conditions in the bridge waterway, to quantify the effect of the bridge on sensitive First Nation lands upstream, and to determine the effects of the bridge on open water and in ice jam levels within the context of the diking system in the town. The results of the analysis were defended in a public hearing assessing the efficacy of the proposed bridge. The Niagara River lceIFlood Study: Served as one member of a threeperson lntemational Board of Consultants acting on behalf of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to provide tactical advice to the New York Power Authority, and to assist in the planning and monitoring of the progress of hydraulic studies to optimize hydropower production on the Niagara River without exacerbating icerelated flooding along the Niagara River. Significant effort was directed towards the development of twodimensional unsteady numerical models to simulate water levels and transport and deposition of ice. David D. Andres, M.Sc.CE, P.Eng. Deerfoot Bridge Crossing, Bow River at Calgary: Undertook a frequency analysis of ice jams and high ice events on the Bow River to develop design ice loads and levels for the design and construction of a major highway bridge. Carried out regional analysis of breakup flows in Southem Alberta to determine the impact of regulation on the design loads and developed a procedure to reduce ice loads in consideration of the regulation. ice Jam Flooding on the Kicking Horse River at Golden, BC: investigated the processes that lead to mid winter ice jams at the site, developed ice jam rating curves for the site, and assessed the risk of icerelated flooding to a wide range of infrastructure, including dikes and railway facilities. Peace River ice Study, Peace River, Alberta: Carried out a study of ice processes on the Peace and Smoky Rivers to evaluate the risk of flooding due to hydropower production, to determine the level of protection provided by the diking system, to improve the forecasting procedures, and to scope out improved monitoring procedures. A number of models were used to quantify ice conditions in the river and to characterize the local hydraulics, and to provide input into more sophisticated models of the ice regime. A somewhat novel probability analysis of historical base and peak freezeup levels was ultimately suggested to provide a framework to establish the maximum hydropower releases while the ice cover forms at the town.

  • TREATY 8: a British Columbian Anomaly
    TREATY 8: A British Columbian Anomaly ARTHUR J. RAY N THE ANNALS OF NATIVE BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1999 undoubtedly will be remembered as the year when, in a swirl of controversy, Ithe provincial legislature passed the Nisga'a Agreement. The media promptly heralded the agreement as the province's first modern Indian treaty. Unmentioned, because it has been largely forgotten, was the fact that the last major "pre-modern" agreement affecting British Columbia -Treaty 8 - had been signed 100 years earlier. This treaty encompasses a sprawling 160,900-square-kilometre area of northeastern British Columbia (Map 1), which is a territory that is nearly twenty times larger than that covered by the Nisga'a Agreement. In addition, Treaty 8 includes the adjoining portions of Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Treaty 8 was negotiated at a time when British Columbia vehemently denied the existence of Aboriginal title or self-governing rights. It therefore raises two central questions. First, why, in 1899, was it ne­ cessary to bring northeastern British Columbia under treaty? Second, given the contemporary Indian policies of the provincial government, how was it possible to do so? The latter question raises two other related issues, both of which resurfaced during negotiations for the modern Nisga'a Agreement. The first concerned how the two levels of government would share the costs of making a treaty. (I will show that attempts to avoid straining federal-provincial relations over this issue in 1899 created troublesome ambiguities in Treaty 8.) The second concerned how much BC territory had to be included within the treaty area.

Oldham, R. Broadland, C.D. ‘Bill’ Osborne and early members of the North Okanagan Naturalists Club. In the 1950s and 60s much of the early groundwork for the establishment of the park was made by these individuals. Special acknowledgement is owed also to Ernest Laviolette, Eugene Foisy and Charlie Foisy. Their wilderness adventure over several months one summer in the 1960s was captured on the film “The Call of the Monashee”. This film, and the publicity it created, was another pivotal component towards the protection of this spectacular wilderness area for future generations. The Friends of Monashee Park and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee were instrumental in providing information on community interests and history within the park as were current members of the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, notably Kay Bartholomew and Pamela Jenkins. Dale Kermode provided invaluable historical photos of his late father’s (Doug Kermode) early explorations in the park.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.
