I am delighted to greet you in Nikkei Week as you celebrate and remember a number of important an- niversaries. First, we join in this gala welcome for the Reverend Paul Nagano of Los Angeles on this 125th an- niversary of the arrival of grandfather, Manzo Nagano in British Columbia. Young Manzo Nagano set sail on a foreign ship, landing in New Westminster in 1877, just five years after B. C. had joined Confederation. He fished on the Fraser for a few years then returned to Japan, only to journey back a second time, locating in Victoria, where he became a man of property, owning a successful busi- ness on Government Street that prospered until destroyed by fire in 1922. The British Columbia of a Century ago was a hard and difficult place for almost everyone. With a whole vast array of humanity from all over the world seeking new lives, people were too busy surviving to be hostile to each other in those early days.

  • Tourism Labour Market Demand Analysis for the Sea-To-Sky Region May 2006
    TOURISM LABOUR MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR THE SEA-TO-SKY REGION Prepared for the Sea-to-Sky Tourism Human Resources Strategy Steering Committee by Ruth Emery Canbritic Consultants Ltd. May 2006 Tourism Labour Market Demand Analysis for the Sea-to-Sky Region May 2006 TOURISM LABOUR MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR THE SEA-TO-SKY REGION REPORT ON FINDINGS Highlights ¾ The current shortfall of workers for the tourism labour market in Whistler is conservatively estimated at 3,500. This number does not fully account for the major seasonal differences and could well be higher for the peak season. The actual number of workers required to make up this shortfall would be significantly higher than 3,500 because of part-time, part-year and seasonal jobs. ¾ Currently many people living in the Squamish-Lillooet area work in Whistler so the 3,500 is a measure of shortage that is beyond the current workforce capacity of the whole Squamish-Lillooet area. The 3,500 plus some additional demand for the peak season has typically been filled by recruitment of workers from elsewhere, in BC, Canada and overseas. ¾ Growth in the four key tourism related industries of accommodation, food and beverage services, recreation and retail trade, is expected to add an additional 2,500 jobs in tourism related activity over the ten years to 2015. ¾ While the majority of the new jobs are expected to be in Whistler, the growth rate for tourism jobs in the surrounding area is projected as being slightly higher than for Whistler itself. ¾ Population growth in the Squamish-Lillooet area, already a little higher than for BC, is expected to see this trend continue.

A drilling program was conducted 32–65 km downstream from the volcano to search for evidence of anomalous sedimentation caused by volcanism or large landslides at Mount Meager. Drilling revealed an alluvial sequence consisting of river channel, bar, and overbank sediments interlayered with volcaniclastic units deposited by debris flows and hyperconcentrated flows. The sediments constitute the upper part of a prograded delta that filled a late Pleistocene lake. Calibrated radiocarbon ages obtained from drill core at 13 sites show that the average long-term floodplain aggradation rate is 4.4 mm aÀ1 and the average delta progradation rate is 6.0 m aÀ1. Aggradation and progradation rates, however, varied markedly over time. Large volumes of sediment were deposited in the valley following edifice collapse events and the eruption of Mount Meager volcano about 2360 years ago, causing pulses in delta progradation, with estimated rates to 150 m aÀ1 over 50-yr intervals.

The affected communities include Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Jews, various people from the Ottoman Empire, Polish, Romanians, Russians, Serbians, Slovaks, Slovenes, among others of which most were Ukrainians and most were civilians.

Following negotiations with the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko the Government of Canada established the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund, 9 May 2008, to support commemorative and educational initiatives that recall what happened during Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914–1920. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund.
