Camping at Keeha Beach, Tapaltos and all other locations in the Cape Beale region and the Ni- tinaht Triangle will remain closed until further notice. Hiking the West Coast Trail will be different than in previous years. Some of the items in this Hikers Preparation Guide have changed for the 2021 season due to our efforts to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Please ensure to review this summary for changes specific to the 2021 season. Remember to follow public health authority guidance and advice for your area, including travel advisories. Most importantly, stay at home if you have COVID-19 symptoms, or if you’ve been in contact with someone who has symptoms or has been diagnosed with the virus. Please understand that you are entering the territories of the Huu-ay-aht, Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations. Please respect their values and interests for the duration of the time you are in their territories. Travel Restrictions and Advisories - The Province of British Columbia has begun its BC Restart Program and has put in place a four-step plan to bring us back together. At the time of this printing the Province of BC is in Step 3 of its restart program. This means that non-essential travel to hike the West Coast Trail will be restricted as follows: In Step 1 (Starting May 25) – only Vancouver Island residents will be permitted to hike the West Coast Trail. In Step 2 (as of June 15) – only BC residents will be permitted on the West Coast Trail. In Step 3 (Earliest start date July 1) – only Canadian Residents will be permitted on the West Coast Trail In Step 4 (Earliest start date September 7) – International visitors may be welcomed. The beginning and ending of each step will depend on many factors in the province and could change at any given time. Please make sure to check the Province of BC’s website for the most up to date information. 2021 updates and requirements: • COVID-19 Self Assessments: Mandatory: Due to COVID-19, all West Coast Trail hikers (every single member of your hiking party, including yourself) will be required to complete one COVID-19 self-assessment form each during check-in (upon arrival at the WCT Orientation Centre). 2 • West Coast Trail Orientations: New for 2021 only, the mandatory West Coast Trail Orien- tations MUST be viewed electronically by all West Coast Trail hikers (every single member of your hiking party including yourself) BEFORE you arrive at the West Coast Trail Orientation Centres. As the primary permit holder, it is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your hiking party watch the WCT orientation video before they arrive. During the registra- tion process at the WCT trailheads, each member of the hiking party will be tested to ensure comprehension before a WCT permit will be granted. In 2021, Parks Canada staff will not be offering in-person WCT orientations. However, staff will give short updates on tides, weather conditions, human-wildlife coexistence, trail maintenance/construction and any other items of importance. There is no requirement this year to show up at Gordon River or Pachena Bay for the 10AM or 2PM orientations as these orientations will not be held in person. Therefore, you can check in anytime between 9AM and 2PM (or the afternoon before) to receive your WCT permits. For Nitinaht Village, it is still necessary to register at the Nitinaht WCT Orienta- tion Centre at 7AM on the day of your hike (the water-taxi leaves at 8:30AM) or before 3:30PM the day before your hike. For those hikers starting the West Coast Trail at Nitinaht Village, the contact information for WCT staff at Nitinaht is 1-250-381-9388. • Fire Ban: There is a full fire ban on in all areas of the West Coast Trail. No camp fires or beach fires of any kind are allowed. Gas and propane stoves, that are specifically designed for cooking food are the only appliances exempt from the fire ban. • COVID-19 Precautions: West Coast Trail hikers are expected to respect all COVID-19 pro- vincial protocols. It is recommended that hikers wear masks around the wildlife proof food lockers, composting toilets, and on the ferries/Nitinaht Water-Taxi. The boardwalks are very narrow in most locations, so please be considerate as you pass other hikers. Be respectful at pinch points like the camping areas, composting toilets, ladders, platforms, cable cars, ferries, Carl’s Crab Shack and Chez Monique’s. Please be respectful of First Nation partners, the West Coast Trail Guardians, residents of local communities, business owners and staff, Lighthouse Keepers, Parks Canada staff, and all other hikers by following all protocols. Please do your best to follow distancing guidelines and give others two meters of space. When fires are allowed - it is suggested that your group avoid joining other groups for campfires and to maintain distance at all camping areas. • New for 2021 – You can only register/check-in at the WCT Orientation Centre that you are reserved to start your hike at (either the afternoon before your start date or the morning of). i.e. you cannot check-in at a different WCT Orientation Centre the day before. • Tsusiat Falls – one-night Maximum Camping Policy: New for 2021, there is a one-night maximum stay for all hikers at the Tsusiat Falls camping area to reduce the number of people and allow for physical distancing at this popular location. Please plan your itinerary around this restriction. • Lighthouses are closed to public access until further notice: Due to COVID-19, light- house grounds are closed to the public. With the exception of reporting an emergency or injury, please do not access any of the lighthouse grounds or approach the lighthouse keepers. Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada - West Coast Trail Preparation Guide 2021 3 The West Coast Trail is an iconic backcountry, multi-day backpacking trail that is a bucket list challenge for many hikers. It is an experience that can bring even the most experienced hikers to their knees. Those who are well prepared physically, mentally, and equipment-wise, come away with tales of grit. Hikers climb more than 100 ladder systems with a heavy pack, trudge through deep mud, wade through mountain-fed rivers in fast-flowing hip deep waters, and push through whatever weather the wild West Coast delivers - often driving wind and rain. Before you decide whether to make a West Coast Trail reservation for yourself or your group, learn what you are signing up for and make sure this hike is for you and all members of your hiking party. THIS HIKE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE The West Coast Trail IS for hikers The West Coast Trail SHOULD NOT be who are: considered if: proficient in multi-day overnight backpacking. you have had recent surgery or a concussion Experienced group leaders cannot compensate and are at risk of reinjury. for inexperienced hikers. you have a serious heart condition or able to hike long distances through rough breathing difficulties. terrain carrying a heavy backpack containing everything needed to be prepared for a you experience re-occurring knee, back, or wilderness experience. ankle injuries and/or pain. flexible with their hiking plans to adjust if you have no prior multi-day backpacking conditions warrant delays. experience.

  • Only a Matter of Time: the Impacts of the Cascadia Subduction Zone And
    Running head: ONLY A MATTER OF TIME Only a Matter of Time: The Impacts of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and Colonialism on Indigenous Communities in Vancouver Island Sydney M. Dyck Mount Royal University ONLY A MATTER OF TIME Abstract The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a fault line that runs seven hundred miles off of the coast of the Pacific Northwest, where two borders of tectonic plates meet and have been subducting for centuries (Schulz, 2015). This fault line poses the threat of an impending earthquake and tsunami, as the subduction zone will eventually give way to the enormous amounts of pressure on the undersea plates, triggering what Schulz calls a “seven-hundred-mile liquid wall that will reach the Northwest coast, on average, fifteen minutes after the earthquake begins” (2015). The devastation this earthquake and tsunami duo will unleash upon coastal British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest will inevitably be catastrophic, with approximately 7,000,000 people being at risk of exposure to this disaster and an estimated 71,000 people living directly in the inundation zone (Schulz, 2015). Kenneth Murphy, who directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, stated, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast;” under this premise it is of utmost importance for us to consider those who are most vulnerable to the risks associated with a disaster of this size (Schulz, 2015). In this paper, I will be focusing on the potential effects that a natural disaster triggered by the Cascadia Subduction Zone could have on those living on Vancouver Island, specifically the Indigenous peoples who have populated the area for centuries.
