  • 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.

But municipal finances do not receive the same degree of public scrutiny as more senior governments. This can pose a problem for taxpayers and voters who want to understand how their municipal government performs, especially compared to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analysis of important financial information for 17 of the 21 municipal- ities in Metro Vancouver, spanning a 10-year period (2002–2012). The intention is not to make an assessment of any municipality’s finances—for instance, whether taxes or spending are too high or whether municipal governments produce good value for taxpayers.

  • To View Frequently Asked Questions and Answers About the Return to School This September
    West Vancouver Schools RETURN TO SCHOOL FAQS September 2, 2020 Learning Options and Cohorts What options are available beyond in-person learning? Home Schooling - This is an alternative method of teaching outside of the BC education system. Typically, a family member delivers and is responsible for designing the entire educational program for their child at home. Homeschooling programs are not supervised by a B.C.-certified teacher. Distributed Learning (DL) - This has always been an alternate to in-person learning that allows students to access learning on their own terms with limited in-person sessions. Teachers often teach via video conferences, email and through other means. In K-9 this is for a full program; in grades 10-12 it is for individual courses. West Vancouver does not have its own DL Program, but there are various options available to students all across the province. Temporary Transition - For K-9 students who are not ready to return to in-person learning this September, we are working to develop a temporary transition program that will allow students to be attached to their school while receiving some of their education at home as we support a transition back to full time in-person learning through the fall. This program will start the week of September 21st. How do we access different options for the fall? We are asking families to have a discussion with their school principals / vice-principals. Each set of circumstances is different and this way we can help personalize the best option for your child. While the conversations are localized, the options are consistent across all schools.

Box 612, Squamish, BC, Canada V0N 3G0 bDepartment of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6; Emeritus Scientist, Geological Survey of Canada, 101-605 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5J3 cGeological Survey of Canada, 101-605 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5J3 Received 3 May 2004; received in revised form 15 December 2004; accepted 19 January 2005 Abstract Lillooet River drains 3850 km2 of the rugged Coast Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, including the slopes of a dormant Quaternary volcano at Mount Meager. 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.
