I view the petroglyphs as an inter-related body of ancient imagery and deliberately move away from (historical and widespread) attempts at large regional syntheses of 'rock art' and towards a study of smaller and more precise proportion. In this thesis, I propose that the majority of petroglyphs located on Gabriola Island were made in a short period of time, perhaps over the course of a single life (if a single, prolific specialist were responsible for most of the imagery) or, at most, over the course of a few generations (maybe a family of trained carvers).

  • Texada Goop Gabriola Letter
    E-mail January 25, 2010. From: Honourable Shirley Bond Minister of Transportation Province of British Columbia BOX 9055 STN PROV GOVT Victoria, B.C., V8W 9E2 184265 - Texada Gravel Dear Nicholas: Thank you for your e-mail of November 3, 2009, and attachments,regarding your continued concerns over the use of Texada gravel on Gabriola Island. Please accept my apologies for the lateness of this reply. You may be interested to know that Texada Gravel has also been used on other Gulf Island roads and my ministry has received positive feedback about the performance of this product from other areas. That said, I recognize that residents of Gabriola Island have concerns about the use of this material and in response my ministry has decided to limit the application of Texada gravel on Gabriola Island's roads. During the winter period, our local maintenance contractor, Emcon Services Ltd., will use a different material to fill potholes and will schedule grading during drier periods to address the conditions you note. If you have further questions about this matter, please don't hesitate to contact my ministry's local Operations Manager, Jim Symington. He can be reached by telephone at 250 751-7136 or by e-mail at [email protected], and would be pleased to assist you further. Thank you again for taking the time to write. Sincerely, Shirley Bond Minister Copy to: Jim Symington, Operations Manager Vancouver Island District My immediate response: E-mail January 25, 2010 Dear Minister I thank you for your reply but consider it a very inadequate response to my concerns as detailed below.

  • Groundwater Recharge Model for Gabriola Island
    Department of Earth Sciences Groundwater Recharge Model for Gabriola Island R. Burgess and D.M. Allen Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University Final Report Submitted to: Regional District of Nanaimo Cover photo: Glenn Jasechko December 2016 Executive Summary The overall goal of this research project was to constrain estimates of groundwater recharge on the Gulf Islands. Gabriola Island was used as a case study. Better constrained recharge estimates will enable better estimates of the water balance components, which are needed for water supply and demand studies. This report documents the information collected and interpreted to formulate a conceptual hydrogeological model of Gabriola Island, briefly describes the numerical model setup and calibration, and presents the modeling results. Overall, there is likely minimal variability in the climate of Gabriola Island such that precipitation, temperature and PET can all be considered spatially uniform. While there is variability in soil types, vegetation is considered to be relatively uniform (treed over 70% of the island). There are few surface water features, and generally only ephemeral streams form during the rainy season. There is variability in the hydraulic properties of the fractured bedrock on Gabriola Island at a local scale, and with depth. However, on a regional scale the fractured bedrock is relatively homogenous and can be represented as a single hydrogeological unit. A decrease in hydraulic conductivity with depth suggests that below a depth of approximately 200 m, groundwater flow is negligible. A fully integrated land surface – subsurface numerical model was developed for Gabriola Island using state of the art software MIKE SHE. The model was first forced by historical observed climate, and then by projected climate.

  • Community Self-Help to Mitigate Acute Vulnerability to Extreme Risk of Interface Fire
    COMMUNITY SELF-HELP TO MITIGATE ACUTE VULNERABILITY TO EXTREME RISK OF INTERFACE FIRE CURRENT STATUS AND IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE MUDGE ISLAND CITIZENS SOCIETY (MICS) May 2018 [email protected] http://www.mudge.ca/fire-prevention/ The Mudge Island Citizens Society (MICS) is a non-profit society which provides support for fire prevention, firefighting equipment and emergency services on Mudge. MICS is not a recognized fire department. It is a community self-help initiative of Mudge residents which provides an immediate response capacity in the minutes and hours before the Wildfire Service or other emergency responders can mobilize and get to the island. Temporary shelters provide some protection for MICS equipment, pending construction of a permanent, fire-resistant building. Maintaining the operational readiness of firefighting equipment without adequate shelter is an ongoing challenge. 2 SUMMARY ▪ Mudge Island is acutely vulnerable to extreme risk of interface fire. During fire season this represents an imminent threat to life, livelihoods & property. This is a public safety issue ▪ Mudge falls through the cracks of RDN & Provincial firefighting resources ▪ The island is too small to sustain an accredited volunteer fire department ▪ Residents have organized for self-help through the Mudge Island Citizens Society (MICS) to prevent & contain fire & render other emergency assistance, until outside help can arrive ▪ In addition to vigilance in fire prevention, MICS has a proven track record of supressing wildfires & responding effectively to other life-threatening emergencies, within minutes ▪ To date, these efforts have been sustained almost entirely through community fundraising efforts and hundreds of volunteer hours per year ▪ A permanent building is essential for protecting the operational readiness of MICS firefighting apparatus & other emergency equipment.
