    Escape into Nature: the Ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park by Marina J. La Salle M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Marina La Salle, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, an urban forest adjacent to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Using the tools of archaeology and anthropology, I analyse the history, landscape, performance, and discourse of the park to understand Pacific Spirit as a culturally-constructed place that embodies an ideology of imperialism. Central in this dynamic is the carefully crafted illusion of Pacific Spirit as a site of “nature,” placed in opposition to “culture,” which naturalizes the values that created and are communicated through the park and thereby neutralizes their politics. They remain, however, very political. The park as nature erases the history and heritage of the Indigenous peoples of this region, transforming Pacific Spirit into a new terra nullius—a site to be discovered and explored, militaristic themes that consistently underlie park programs and propaganda. These cultural tropes connect to produce a nationalistic settler narrative wherein class ideals of nature and community are evoked in the celebration of Canada’s history of colonialism and capitalist expansion—paradoxically, the very processes that have caused the fragmentation of communities and ecosystems. The park as nature also feeds into the portrayal of this space as having been saved from development and, as such, an environmental triumph.

  • March 3, 2014 Hon. Michael De Jong Minister of Finance Room 153
    March 3, 2014 Hon. Michael de Jong Minister of Finance Room 153, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Via Email Dear Minister de Jong: On behalf of the 18,000 businesses operating in the tourism industry, the Tourism Industry Association of BC urges government to fulfill its commitment to our rural resort owners to modernize the Tourism Accommodation (Assessment Relief) Act to reflect increased property values. It’s no secret that rural resort property taxes have increased so significantly over the past number of years that many of these operators have had to face closure. For those who have remained opened, the substantial tax burden has prevented them from being able to re-invest back in their business, impacting their ability to provide an exceptional experience for their guests. Our partner, the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association has been communicating with government over the past decade about the declining viability of rural tourism accommodations. One major factor is the affect Class 6 property taxes is having on the survival of rural resorts, largely caused by increasing property assessment values and the shrink back of the general rural Class 6 business population in affected rural areas. At UBCM in 2012 a resolution was passed calling on the provincial government to address this issue and make changes. Following the passing of the resolution, the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour responded: “The Province recognizes that high property assessments for rural tourism resorts have resulted in a tax burden for these businesses. In response to calls for Provincial Government assistance with this issue, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training will work with the Ministry of Finance, the BC Assessment Authority and the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to look at options to amend the Tourist Accommodation (Assessment Relief) Act with the UBCM’s recommendations, and to support this sector.” Page 2 Page 2 Hon.
