  • A Study of the Wellington Miners5 Strike of 1890-911 JEREMY MOUAT
    The Politics of Goal: A Study of the Wellington Miners5 Strike of 1890-911 JEREMY MOUAT The coal miners of Vancouver Island occupy a special place in the history of British Columbia. The communities in which they and their families lived — Ladysmith, Wellington, Nanaimo, and Cumberland — experi­ enced class tensions to a degree and duration rarely seen in other parts of the province. An Island miner involved in the 1912 strike, for example, might have had a grandparent who went through the 1877 strike or a parent who witnessed the 1890 strike. These outbursts of militancy reflect the uneasiness in the social relations of production on the coal fields. Class tensions found expression in other ways as well, such as the ethnic preju­ dice of the miners or their left-leaning political representatives. Each strike was fought out in a different context, informed both by past struggles and current conditions. What follows is an attempt to explore the context of one such episode, the Wellington strike of 1890-91. It began quietly enough on a Monday morning, 19 May 1890, when miners employed at the Dunsmuirs' Wellington colliery on Vancouver Island arrived late for work. The action expressed their demand for an eight-hour working day and recognition of their union. The Dunsmuirs refused to grant either of these, and an eighteen-month struggle followed. When the strike was finally called off in November 1891, the Wellington miners had failed to achieve their two goals. The strike has received scant attention from historians, a neglect it scarcely deserves.2 At a time when the industry played a vital role in the 1 I would like to thank R.

  • Craigdarroch Military Hospital: a Canadian War Story
    Craigdarroch Military Hospital: A Canadian War Story Bruce Davies Curator © Craigdarroch Castle 2016 2 Abstract As one of many military hospitals operated by the federal government during and after The Great War of 1914-1918, the Dunsmuir house “Craigdarroch” is today a lens through which museum staff and visitors can learn how Canada cared for its injured and disabled veterans. Broad examination of military and civilian medical services overseas, across Canada, and in particular, at Craigdarroch, shows that the Castle and the Dunsmuir family played a significant role in a crucial period of Canada’s history. This paper describes the medical care that wounded and sick Canadian soldiers encountered in France, Belgium, Britain, and Canada. It explains some of the measures taken to help permanently disabled veterans successfully return to civilian life. Also covered are the comprehensive building renovations made to Craigdarroch, the hospital's official opening by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the question of why the hospital operated so briefly. By highlighting the wartime experiences of one Craigdarroch nurse and one Craigdarroch patient, it is seen that opportunities abound for rich story- telling in a new gallery now being planned for the museum. The paper includes an appendix offering a synopsis of the Dunsmuir family’s contributions to the War. 3 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................. 04 I.

  • Crofton, BC, Canada | Red Seal Recruiting
    Crofton, BC http://www.croftonbc.com/ The active community of Crofton is situated on the calm waters of Osborne Bay in the Cowichan Valley, 22 minutes’ drive from Duncan. It is home to 2,500 people. The modern town of Crofton was founded in 1902 by Henry Croft, who owned a nearby copper in Mt. Sicker. He used the town to build a smelter, export his copper, and house his workers. The town prospered until world copper prices dropped, causing the closure of the mine in 1908. The miners struggled to find work in the logging and fishing industries until 1956, when a large pulp and paper mill was built on the outskirts of town, attracted by Crofton's deep-sea port. The mill is still in operation today. These days, this friendly forestry community offers quiet parks, comfortable accommodation and a host of family activities such as golfing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Close to Victoria and Nanaimo, Crofton is also is home to one of the ferries heading to Saltspring Island.

  • An Archive of Settler Belonging: Local Feeling, Land, and the Forest Resource on Vancouver Island
    An Archive of Settler Belonging: Local Feeling, Land, and the Forest Resource on Vancouver Island by Kelly Black A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Canadian Studies with Specialization in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Kelly Black Abstract This dissertation explores the local, material, and affective processes of Settler (non-Indigenous) attachment to land on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I describe these feelings for land as Settler belonging and my research is guided by a reflexive and interdisciplinary approach that seeks to “explain Settlers to ourselves.” Through original archival research and personal reflection, I argue that “(dis)possession,” a term that encompasses Settler efforts to take the land and belong to the land, is a generational process, one that is worked at over time in an effort to link the past with the present and serve future Settler belonging. Through a study of plants, forest resource extraction, roads and railways, park creation, and real estate development in the Cowichan Valley and Sooke-Juan de Fuca regions, I argue that Settler feelings for land manifest in locally specific and contradictory ways. I build upon studies of Settler colonialism and political economy in Canada by adapting the staples approach, as developed by Harold A. Innis, Mel Watkins, and others, to trace the intersection of belonging with the resource economy and the characteristics of Settler colonialism. This dissertation links historical and ongoing transformations in the relations of production, such as the conversion of private forestry lands into real estate, to reveal the ways in which belonging adjusts to political and economic changes that both assist and threaten its future.
