  • Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
    Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) are pleased to announce the funding of the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. Geoscience BC’s Board has approved $530,000 for project activities, which is being matched by $400,000 from ICET, for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation has provided generous support for stakeholder engagement in the project development phase, through the Campbell River Regional Economic Pilot initiative. “This project was a definite priority coming out of the recent Regional Economic Investment Pilot in Campbell River,” said Pat Bell, B.C. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. “It’s easy to see why because mining presents tremendous opportunity for job creation in B.C. and for the north Vancouver Island. The data being collected is essential to moving forward and delivering on the potential for job creation in the region.” The NVI Exploration Geoscience Project will generate new geoscience data for northern Vancouver Island, near the communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice and Zeballos. This new regional information will help attract mineral exploration interest and investment, increase the understanding of the mineral potential, and provide local First Nations and communities with more information on the geology of the region. “On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Island Coastal Economic Trust, I am pleased to participate in the announcement for this project, which is the Trust's first opportunity in the mining sector,” said Camela Tang, ICET Vice Chair.

  • MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR with the DISTRICT of PORT HARDY
    MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR with the DISTRICT OF PORT HARDY Located on the northern most tip of beautiful Vancouver Island, Port Hardy is a wilderness paradise that invites both locals and tourists to “Live the Adventure.” From its traditional resource-based “roots” to today’s emerging eco-tourism, green energy and aquaculture sectors, the region remains committed to maintaining a wholesome, unspoiled natural environment for its 4,132 (2016 census) residents and three neighbouring First Nations bands. The District offers contract building inspection services to Port McNeill, Port Alice and Coal Harbour making this position diverse. In recent years, the cost of construction in Port Hardy has increased with new development occurring and major renovations to key facilities including the Airport, RCMP office and the installation of a new Coast Guard Depot on the horizon. The District is a great place to work with a strong support team of staff and managers. The District is seeking an individual to fill the role of Municipal Inspector, a position that is responsible for: • Processing applications for building permits related to new construction and alterations / renovations / additions / relocation / demolition to/of existing buildings and structures; • Examining and reviewing building plans, drawings and applicable documentation to ensure conformity with bylaws, codes (Building, Fire and Plumbing) and related standards; • Inspecting buildings and properties to ensure compliance with bylaws, codes and standards; • Enforcement of the Provincial Fire

All rights reserved. 301 302 Sea Otter Conservation INTRODUCTION: REGIME SHIFTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS ALONG NORTH AMERICA’S NORTHWEST COAST One of our legends explains that the sea otter was originally a man. While col- lecting chitons he was trapped by an incoming tide. To save himself, he wished to become an otter. His transformation created all otters. Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository (2005) Human interactions with sea otters and kelp forest ecosystems have spanned millennia ( Figure 11.1 ; Rick et al., 2011 ). In fact, archeological evidence suggests that the highly productive kelp forests of the Pacific Rim may have sustained the original coastal ocean migration route of maritime people to the Americas near the end of the Pleistocene ( Erlandson et al., 2007 ). Similarly, many coastal First Nations stories speak of ancestors who came from the sea (Boas, 1932; Brown and Brown, 2009; Guujaaw, 2005; Swanton, 1909). Yet this vast and aqueous “kelp highway,” providing food, tools, trade goods, and safe anchorage for sophisticated watercraft, would have been highly susceptible to overgrazing by sea urchins had it not been FIGURE 11.1 Sea otter pictographs from Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

  • Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea Conchaphila) in Canada [PROPOSED]
    PROPOSED SPECIES AT RISK ACT Management Plan Series Management Plan for the Olympia Oyster (Ostrea conchaphila) in Canada Olympia Oyster May 2009 About the Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to manage species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened.” What is a species of special concern? Under SARA, a species of special concern is a wildlife species that could become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. Species of special concern are included in the SARA List of Wildlife Species at Risk. What is a management plan? Under SARA, a management plan is an action-oriented planning document that identifies the conservation activities and land use measures needed to ensure, at a minimum, that a species of special concern does not become threatened or endangered. For many species, the ultimate aim of the management plan will be to alleviate human threats and remove the species from the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. The plan sets goals and objectives, identifies threats, and indicates the main areas of activities to be undertaken to address those threats. Management plan development is mandated under Sections 65–72 of SARA (http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/approach/act/default_e.cfm). A management plan has to be developed within three years after the species is added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk.

FOR MAMMOTH GEOLOGICAL LTD. -z- SUMMARY The Renfrew Creek Property presently consists of 4 units, totaling 100 hectares. The property was staked as a potential source of white limestone for aggregates and industrial fillers. The property was briefly explored during staking. Previous exploration consisted of quarrying test blocks to test the suitability of the stone for marble dimension stone. The property is underlain by steeply dipping, thickly bedded, white to grey-white limestone of the Triassic Quatsino Formation. The stone outcrops as a distinct knob of + 400 metres by 400 metres on the west side of upper Renfrew Creek. A program of mapping, sampling and diamond drilling is recommended. Total cost is estimated at $150,000. The cost of the exploration program completed during staking is $900. Mammoth Geological Ltd.
