EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. A DISTINCTIVE Geographically, Northwestern BC is the DESTINATION largest of the 20 Destination BC planning areas. The planning area is very diverse with coastal areas, mountains, significant headwaters, glaciers, rivers, lakes, hot springs and valleys. Northwestern BC’s outstanding cultural and natural assets support (or could support) a range of adventure, eco-tourism, cultural and Indigenous tourism experiences. The area has a wealth of provincial parks and protected areas. With regard to existing tourism, there are several key themes within the planning area, as highlighted below. TRAVEL CORRIDORS Touring is a long-standing experience (also known as the Stewart-Cassiar available in Northwestern BC. The Highway). Currently, there are efforts primary touring routes are BC Ferries to create additional circle tours and Route 10 (Port Hardy to/from Prince travel routes in the area, including the Rupert), Highway 16 (also known as the Nisga’a Lisims Government’s Circle Yellowhead Highway), and Highway 37 Tour Project which proposes several NORTHWESTERN BC | 1 circle tours that will be tested later in currently offer rich tourism experiences, 2019. Another important initiative is there is untapped potential to further the current collaborative effort of several develop authentic, Indigenous tourism local governments and tourism industry experiences in Northwestern BC by representatives to re-brand Highway 16 those communities that wish to pursue which presents opportunties to further these opportunities. Complementing develop touring experiences related to this potential is growing demand this corridor. amongst many markets for authentic Indigenous tourism offerings.

  • Holocene Tephras in Lake Cores from Northern British Columbia, Canada
    935 Holocene tephras in lake cores from northern British Columbia, Canada Thomas R. Lakeman, John J. Clague, Brian Menounos, Gerald D. Osborn, Britta J.L. Jensen, and Duane G. Froese Abstract: Sediment cores recovered from alpine and subalpine lakes up to 250 km apart in northern British Columbia con- tain five previously unrecognized tephras. Two black phonolitic tephras, each 5–10 mm thick, occur within 2–4 cm of each other in basal sediments from seven lakes in the Finlay River – Dease Lake area. The upper and lower Finlay tephras are slightly older than 10 220 – 10 560 cal year B.P. and likely originate from two closely spaced eruptions of one or two large volcanoes in the northern Cordilleran volcanic province. The Finlay tephras occur at the transition between deglacial sediments and organic-rich postglacial mud in the lake cores and, therefore, closely delimit the termination of the Fraser Glaciation in northern British Columbia. Sediments in Bob Quinn Lake, which lies on the east edge of the northern Coast Mountains, contain two black tephras that differ in age and composition from the Finlay tephras. The lower Bob Quinn tephra is 3–4 mm thick, basaltic in composition, and is derived from an eruption in the Iskut River volcanic field about 9400 cal years ago. The upper Bob Quinn tephra is 12 mm thick, trachytic in composition, and probably 7000–8000 cal years old. A fifth tephra occurs as a cryptotephra near the top of two cores from the Finlay River area and is correlated to the east lobe of the White River tephra (ca.

  • Herent and Collective Aboriginal Title and Rights Shared by All Tahltan People
    BACKGROUNDER Information about the Conservancy, Park and Partners History on the conservancy: The Cassiar Iskut-Stikine Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), which was developed in 2000 and encompasses 5.2 million hectares, recommended the establishment of several new protected areas in northwestern B.C. The LRMP also recommended that if the mineral tenures in an area next to Mount Edziza Provincial Park became inactive, the area should be added to the park. Rather than adding the Ice Mountain area to the existing Mount Edziza Park, recent government-to- government discussions with the Tahltan recommended the area be designated as a conservancy. Conservancies are established to explicitly recognize the importance of an area to First Nations for social, ceremonial and cultural uses. They also enable the continuation of traditional Aboriginal uses and provide flexibility to ensure opportunities for low impact, compatible economic activities. The first conservancies in B.C. were designated in 2006 following government-to-government negotiations with First Nations on land use plans for the central and north coast. Mount Edziza Provincial Park: Mount Edziza Provincial Park was established in 1972 and spans more than 230,000 hectares of the Tahltan Highlands. The remote park, which can only be accessed by trails or a float plane, showcases a spectacular volcanic landscape that includes lava flows, basalt plateaus, cinder fields and cinder cones. The Mount Edziza area has been a major source of obsidian for Indigenous people for the last 9,000 to 10,000 years and is highly valued by the Tahltan people. Obsidian is a volcanic glass-like rock that has many uses including arrowheads and various types of knives.

Rescan Building, Sixth Floor - 1111 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 2J3 January 2013 Tel: (604) 689-9460 Fax: (604) 687-4277 Executive Summary Seabridge Gold Inc. is proposing to develop the KSM Project (the Project), a gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum mine located in northwestern British Columbia. The proposed Project is approximately 950 km northwest of Vancouver and 65 km northwest of Stewart, within 30 km of the British Columbia–Alaska border (Figure 1.2-1). The estimated initial capital cost of the Project is US$5.3 billion. The Project is split between two geographical areas: the Mine Site and Processing and Tailing Management Area (PTMA), connected by twin 23-km tunnels (Mitchell-Treaty Twinned Tunnels; Figure 1.2-2). The Mine Site will be located south of the closed Eskay Creek Mine, within the Mitchell Creek, McTagg Creek, and Sulphurets Creek valleys. Sulphurets Creek is a main tributary of the Unuk River, which flows to the Pacific Ocean. The PTMA will be located in the upper tributaries of Teigen and Treaty creeks. Both creeks are tributaries of the Bell-Irving River, which flows into the Nass River and Pacific Ocean. The PTMA is located about 19 km southwest of Bell II on Highway 37. This social baseline report presents a comprehensive overview of the past and present social environment and context of the proposed Project, including patterns, trends, and changes over time. It outlines relevant social factors for which data on communities in the Project area are available, such as society and governance; population and demographics; education, skills and training (level of achievement, elementary, secondary, post-secondary, and adult education); health and social services (facilities, services, trends, and issues); recreation; protection services (crime index, police, fire, and ambulance); and infrastructure (utilities, communications, transportation, and housing).
