Exploring Backcountry Wilderness Design Through the User Experience in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park Exploring Backcountry Wilderness Design through the User Experience in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park by Chad David Neufeld A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Chad David Neufeld, March, 2014 ABSTRACT EXPLORING BACKCOUNTRY WILDERNESS DESIGN THROUGH THE USER EXPERIENCE IN CHILLIWACK LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Chad David Neufeld Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Sean D. Kelly This research explored the human relationship with wilderness through the recreational activities of hiking and backcountry camping in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park located in southwestern British Columbia. A case study and questionnaire completed by 119 visitors was used to determine the ideal backcountry wilderness experience as identified by using the Recreation Experience Preference (REP) scales. Results indicated that the highest priority wilderness design features included viewing scenery, having a sense of remoteness, and reduction of litter and waste. Conclusions suggest that the user experience can be improved by designing for scenic views, protecting the remote feel of an environment, and ensuring an adequate mix of trail and backcountry facilities while reducing litter and waste. Findings are specific to Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park but may aid landscape architects in the design of similar wilderness parks through the further understanding of the user experience in wilderness areas. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Sean Kelly for his direction and guidance in managing the thesis process. I was always thankful for the quick hallway chats and discussions we had. I would also like to thank Rob Corry who acted as my advisory committee member, who asked the right questions of me and who taught me the importance of remembering my research question. A special thanks to Bob Brown for acting as chair of my defence and offering his input in this thesis as well. Thank you to Mark Harrison whose 2012 thesis offered a working framework to emulate for this project. I would also like to thank Jennie Aikman, Robert Wilson and Joanna Hirner of BC Parks who graciously supported this research in addition to providing time to answer my many questions. A big thank you to the Valley Outdoor Association especially Mike Stewart who helped distribute the questionnaire in addition to Sam Waddington of the Chilliwack Outdoor Club for distributing the questionnaire to their members. Thank you to Darren Susin, administrator for ClubTread, for allowing my questionnaire to be posted on ClubTread. A very grateful thanks to all the backcountry hikers who took the time to complete the questionnaire; your opinions make this thesis what it is. On a personal note I would like to thank my wife, Christina for her constant support, for moving across the country and working to support us as I pursued my dream of becoming a landscape architect. Thank you for reading my drafts, for always being interested and encouraging me when I lost interest. Without you I wouldn’t have been able to do this. Lastly I would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation (LACF) whose grant supported this research in addition to the financial support of the University of Guelph. iii Table of Contents ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... ii

FOR MAMMOTH GEOLOGICAL LTD. Bv: R.Tim Henneberry, P.Geo. J December 7, l9<199 "I i -2- . SUMMARY The Chill property lies within the New Westminster Mining Division, east of Chilliwack at the north end of Chilliwack Lake. The property is being explored as a potential source of gran- ite dimension stone, for structural stone. The property was acquired as part of an on-going exploration and assessment program of the southern interior plutons. This claim covers the former Chilliwack Lake Quarry of Quarry Pacific Industries. Polished sections show the stone has an appealing texture and exhibits few flaws on the finished surface. Examination of existing quarry faces showed numerous flaws making the stone unsuitable for polished stone. The stone is suitable for split (structural) stone, exhibiting characteristics very similar to the light grey Hope Stone. Based on this observation, a & 500 ton bulk sampling program is recommended. The aim of this program will be to quarry and split 50 tons of stone and market the stone to have it specified on a number ofjob sites in the lower Mainland. The cost of this program is estimated at $43,183. The initial prospecting and mapping program completed on the Chill property cost $1,375. -3- .

  • Supplement to the Pre-Season Run
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Pacific Region Science Response 2016/047 SUPPLEMENT TO THE PRE-SEASON RUN SIZE FORECASTS FOR FRASER RIVER SOCKEYE (ONCORHYNCHUS NERKA) SALMON IN 2016 Context To provide background for the 2016 Fraser Sockeye returns (DFO 2016), this year’s Fraser Sockeye forecast supplement presents information on these fish from their spawning parents through to their three-year-old siblings that returned in 2015. The brood year (year they were spawned by their parents) for 2016 four-year-old lake-type Fraser Sockeye returns, which represents most stocks, is 2012. The brood year for three and four year old river-type Sockeye (Harrison) returns are 2013 and 2012, respectively. The forecast supplement synthesizes information on adult Fraser River upstream migration conditions, escapements, spawner success, fry abundance and condition, the lake rearing conditions for fry (if available, and applicable to lake-type stocks only), and juvenile migration and ocean conditions in the Fraser River and Strait of Georgia (SOG). In addition, proportions of key lake-type stocks in various sampling components of the 2012 brood year are compared: 2012 escapements, 2014 smolt Fraser River downstream migration, 2014 juvenile ocean migration, and 2016 return forecasts. Based on the 2016 Fraser Sockeye return forecasts, the stocks expected to contribute the largest percentages to the 2016 returns include the lake-type Chilko stock (44% of the forecast return at the 50% probability level), Late Stuart and Stellako stocks (combined contribute 20% to the forecast return) and the river-type Harrison stock (8%) (DFO 2016). The Chilliwack lake-type stock is also expected to contribute a larger proportion (6%) than average to the total return, given its exceptional brood year escapement in 2012 (DFO 2016).

  • British Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA British Columbia Canada's most westerly province, British Columbia is huge and diverse. If you love the great outdoors, you'll never be bored in a province that is so beautiful, with such variation, and with so many opportunities for hiking, rafting, sailing and skiing, to name just a few. British Columbia is studded with breathtakingly beautiful mountains that puncture vast, blue skies. You'll also find long stretches of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, wineries, orchards, forests and snowmelt-fed lakes. There is even Canada's only desert: Osoyoos, in the southern Okanagan, which is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions and prickly pear cacti. If you're seeking unspoiled wilderness, then British Columbia is the perfect province to lose yourself in. If you want company, however, there are plenty of modern and lively cities and towns in British Columbia. Vancouver has scores of galleries, museums and bars. But even in Vancouver you're never too removed from nature: the city contains Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park.
