  • Eocene Paleo-Physiography and Drainage Directions, Southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1
    215 Eocene paleo-physiography and drainage directions, southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1 Selina Tribe Abstract: A map of reconstructed Eocene physiography and drainage directions is presented for the southern Interior Plateau region, British Columbia south of 53°N. Eocene landforms are inferred from the distribution and depositional paleoenvironment of Eocene rocks and from crosscutting relationships between regional-scale geomorphology and bedrock geology of known age. Eocene drainage directions are inferred from physiography, relief, and base level elevations of the sub-Eocene unconformity and the documented distribution, provenance, and paleocurrents of early Cenozoic fluvial sediments. The Eocene landscape of the southern Interior Plateau resembled its modern counterpart, with highlands, plains, and deeply incised drainages, except regional drainage was to the north. An anabranching valley system trending west and northwest from Quesnel and Shuswap Highlands, across the Cariboo Plateau to the Fraser River valley, contained north-flowing streams from Eocene to early Quaternary time. Other valleys dating back at least to Middle Eocene time include the North Thompson valley south of Clearwater, Thompson valley from Kamloops to Spences Bridge, the valley containing Nicola Lake, Bridge River valley, and Okanagan Lake valley. During the early Cenozoic, highlands existed where the Coast Mountains are today. Southward drainage along the modern Fraser, Chilcotin, and Thompson River valleys was established after the Late Miocene. Résumé : Cet article présente une carte reconstituée de la géographie physique et des directions de drainage, à l’Éocène, pour la région du plateau intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique, au sud du 53e parallèle Nord. Les formes de terrain à l’Éocène sont déduites de la distribution et du paléoenvironnement de déposition des roches de l’Éocène et à partir de relations de recoupement entre la géomorphologie à l’échelle régionale et la géologie du socle, d’âge connu.

  • A Look Into the Past’
    REGIONAL DISTRICT of CENTRAL OKANAGAN ‘A Look Into the Past’ A Historical Review 1967 – 2006 by A.T. Harrison ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In preparing this review, the author used excerpts from various publications and also received input from several Regional District staff. Appreciation is expressed and recognition is given to the following: UBCM News Regional District Concept – 1968 Regional Districts in British Columbia – 1971 South East Kelowna Irrigation District Newsletter George Fenton, photo assistance Joe Rich Community Association Regional District Staff who provided information for this review: Ken Arcuri, Planning Gary Leier, Human Resources Hillary Hettinga, Engineering Harold Reay, Finance Kelly Roth, Inspection Services Bill Vos, Parks and Recreation Facilities Colleen Bond, Economic Development Jody Foster-Sexsmith, Parks and Recreation Facilities Eve Wegscheidler, Parks and Recreation Facilities Editing assistance provided by Carole Gordon. A special thanks to Dorothy Weavers, who for many years served the Regional Board and the Administrator as Administrative Assistant and without whose help this historical review would not have been possible. FOREWARD The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) commissioned this work to record in one volume the history of its growth and development as a service provider organization, dating back to the Provincial Government legislation and incorporation. In writing and performing this work, I had to consider the format, order and content, and whether there should be some chronological form with respect to the growth and development of the Regional District. While I carried out substantial research, I also relied upon memories of activities that occurred over a period of time. The problem with memories is that they can be challenged by a person who remembers the same activity in a different way.

The program is delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC. Family farmed since 1956. The Stewarts have been pioneering horticulturists in Western Canada since the turn of the last century. Richard Stewart purchased the existing Estate property in 1956 knowing that it was potentially one of the best sites in the Okanagan Valley for premium grape production. The first vinifera vines were planted in 1961 as a foray into the future of wine grape growing. For nearly 30 years the farm supplied grapes to other vintners in the area until 1989 when the Stewarts’ began making wine independently and Quails’ Gate winery was founded. From there the entire family joined together in the pursuit of making Quails’ Gate winery one of Canada’s foremost producers of premium VQA (Vintner’s Quality Alliance) wines. The Stewarts’ believe in the spirit and pursuit of innovation. Many years of experimentation with cool climate vinifera vines on the property has helped forge a reputation as pioneers amidst their peers. Ben Stewart was instrumental in the introduction of premium French Dijon clones into Canada.
