    TAC 2008 Environmental Achievement Award Submission British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project: Environmental Enhancements and Project Legacies Authors: Angela Buckingham, Chief Environmental Officer, BC MOT Isobel Doyle, Senior Environmental Manager, Par Terre Environmental Consulting Services Ltd. March 11, 2009 1.0 Introduction The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (BC MoT) successfully implemented an innovative environmental mitigation and enhancement program for the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project (the ‘Project’). A multi-faceted environmental program delivery model (see diagram below), involving several environmental strategies, was developed to protect and enhance the environment during highway construction and operation. This unique approach to environmental management on the public-private-partnership project protected the environment, offered valued-added opportunities for environmental enhancement and created important Project legacies. The approach resulted in infrastructure improvements of direct benefit to fish, wildlife and the public. This paper describes the Project environmental program delivery model and many of the successful results.

Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Canada K1A 0H3 By email: [email protected] Dear Madam Minister: Re: Woodfibre LNG Project and LNG Shipping in Howe Sound, B.C. I represent My Sea to Sky, a volunteer organization of citizens opposed to the Howe Sound, B.C., location of the proposed Woodfibre LNG project and associated LNG shipping. I am writing to formally request that you reconsider and rescind your February 19, 2014 Substitution Decision under which the B.C. environmental assessment of the Project is substituted for federal environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012. The Substitution Decision requires the BC EA process to consider the environmental effects of the Project and associated LNG shipping, including the effects of accidents and malfunctions. The pre-eminent environmental issue that must be considered under CEAA 2012 is whether Woodfibre in Howe Sound is an appropriate location given the fact that the LNG shipping lane is in extremely close proximity to heavily populated areas, such as West Vancouver and Bowen Island, and to major public transportation routes, such as the Sea to Sky Highway and BC Ferries to and from Horseshoe Bay. This crucial issue has not been – and will not be – examined properly or at all in the BC EA process. The attached map shows the Woodfibre site and the LNG carrier route in Howe Sound.

  • Mickey Dewar: Memories, Books and Museums David Carment
    Mickey Dewar: Memories, books and museums David Carment Mickey Dewar’s contributions to the history of her beloved Northern Territory were immense. She was an elegant and original writer, a careful researcher with a knack for discovering elusive sources, the energetic member of numerous heritage and history boards and committees, a mentor for other historians and history students, an interesting and always thoroughly prepared school and tertiary teacher, a much sought after public speaker, the Territory’s most innovative history curator and an always helpful librarian. She was also sparkling company and probably the most rapid reader I have ever known. Like many others, I learned a lot from her. I do not in this paper attempt to cover all the numerous aspects of her life as a historian. Instead, I recount some of my own memories of Mickey before discussing examples of her sole-authored books and curatorial work. Memories I first met Mickey in Darwin during 1984. I was on the Northern Territory Literary Awards committee and she was a prize winner in the short story section. Her entry was a beautifully composed and very funny account of schoolteachers in Arnhem Land. She commented to me at the prize- giving ceremony that she was also a historian and was writing a Master’s thesis at the University of New England about missionary contact with the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land.1 A version of it was later 1 Dewar, ‘Strange Bedfellows’. 267 IN SeARCh Of The NeveR-NeveR published as a book.2 As she later recounted, her discussions from 1979 onwards with her friends the Northern Territory historians Ann McGrath and Alan Powell and reading Alan’s Far Country: A Short History of the Northern Territory3 had already led her to discover that the Territory was ‘a very exciting place’.
