Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis. -

And the 1918 Vancouver Steam Laundries Dispute
“Girl Strikers” and the 1918 Vancouver Steam Laundries Dispute Janet Mary Nicol campaign to raise the minimum wage in British Columbia spearheaded by the BC Federation of Labour’s first female president, Irene Lanzinger, and affecting 63 percent of women Awage earners, concluded successfully in 2018.1 A century ago women performing low-paid work fought a similar battle for a living wage. They were limited to gendered work, navigating inferior working conditions, sexual harassment, and health and safety concerns. Women comprised 13 percent of the Canadian labour force compared to nearly 50 percent in 2015, typically working until marriage, their husband the sole wage- earner.2 Organizing into trade unions was challenging, and white, male- dominated leaders were unreliable in their support. Women employed as telephone operators, retail clerks, bookbinders, tailors, and domestic workers in Vancouver signed union cards in the early 1900s, but their locals were not easily sustained. Such was the case of a laundry workers’ union formed in the city in 1902 and dissolved three years later.3 Still women persisted. When a labour shortage caused by the First World War occurred between 1916 to 1920, union membership soared. Laundry workers in cities across North America were among those to take a stand.4 1 “The Fight for $15” campaign by organized labour groups continues in many North American jurisdictions, the BC minimum wage increasing incrementally to fifteen dollars an hour by 2021.

Women in the British Columbia Coal-Mining Community of Ladysmith, 1912-14
"STOUT LADIES AND AMAZONS": Women in the British Columbia Coal-Mining Community of Ladysmith, 1912-14 JOHN R. HINDE URING THE WEEK of 12 August 1913, riots shook the strike bound coal-mining communities of Vancouver Island.1 DHomes were looted and burned to the ground in Extension and vandalized in Ladysmith, South Wellington, and Nanaimo. Many people were physically assaulted, and, although no one was killed, one arrested miner, twenty-one-year-old Joseph Mairs Jr., died later in prison, and one strike-breaker, AlexMcKinnon, had his right hand blown off when dynamite was thrown into his Ladysmith home. The provincial government had refused to intervene in the strike, but, when it received news of the violence, it responded swiftly and harshly, mobilizing the militia, declaring martial law in the affected regions, and, with the assistance of the police, drawing up lists of suspected rioters and union organizers. Within a week there were 450 soldiers in Cumberland, 130 in Ladysmith, and nearly 1,000 in Nanaimo. When the dust finally settled, authorities had arrested 213 men, tried 166, and sentenced 50 to prison. Of the 50 convicted men, 38 were from Ladysmith. Respectable BC society was shocked to learn during the preliminary investigations and the subsequent trials that "at Ladysmith and at Extension a great deal of the damage done was the work of women sympathizers."2 This was of grave concern to Frederick William Howay, the judge and historian who presided over the trial of the Ladysmith strikers. To add insult to his injured sense of middle- 1 By far the best account of the strike is in Lynne Bowen, Boss Whistle, (Lantzville: Oolichan, 1982); see also John Norris, "The Vancouver Island Coal Miners, 1912-14: A Study of an Organizational Strike," BC Studies 45 (1980): 56-72, and Alan Wargo, "The Great Coal Strike: The Vancouver Island Coal Miners' Strike, 1912-1914" (Bachelor's essay, History Department, University of British Columbia, 1962).
