SPR-1t ©Archives Society of Alberta NEWS RELEASE - For Immediate Release – September 8, 2005 Monkman Pass Memorial Trail Project off to Good Start County of Grande Prairie No.1 – The goal to establish a memorial trail along the old Monkman Pass Highway was kicked off August 24th, with the installation of an interpretive memorial plaque at the Rio Grande Hall, mile “0” of the 1936 historic highway trail. The County of Grande Prairie joined the Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society, Matrix Solutions Inc., Alberta Historical Resources Foundation, Monkman Ventures and the Town of Beaverlodge Cultural Society to kick start an exciting project which will see the creation of the Monkman Pass Memorial Trail, a project which locals envision could rival attractions such as the Chilkoot Trail in the Yukon, and bring long- term tourism benefit to our region. Monkman Pass History The history of the Monkman Pass Highway dates back to 1936 and a group of visionaries led by Alex Monkman, who worked hard to establish a trade route from the Peace Country to the West Coast, over a very low pass, south of what is now the Town of Tumbler Ridge, B.C. Alex believed that the route was the quickest, most economic and efficient route for Peace Country farmers to market their produce, however, he was unable to convince the government of this. In 1936 Alex formed the Monkman Pass Highway Association and attracted a group of supporters who spent the following three years working without government assistance to push a trail across the pass. The group was successful in driving, pushing and pulling a Model T truck across the pass, but attempts to formally establish the trail were ended with the outbreak of the Second World War. Creation of a World Class Attraction The Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society is leading the drive to formally establish the memorial trail to immortalize the old highway and pay respect to the people that gave their blood, sweat and tears for this cause. “The Monkman Pass Highway Association and their effort in trying to build this highway is one of the Peace Country’s significant historic events,” said Kreg Alde, coordinator for the project. “A designated historic trail such as this would create a world class hiking and driving attraction that would help the Peace Region move closer to becoming an international travel destination.” The County of Grande Prairie donated $1500.00 towards the Memorial Plaque which was just the kick start to this exciting project. The entire project consists of two parts, a driving route and a hiking trail. The driving trail officially starts at Rio Grande, Alberta, which is located within the County. The driving -continued- trail will then follow the Monkman Pass road into B.C. and onto the Heritage Highway; following the Heritage Highway west into Tumbler Ridge, B.C. and then out to Kinuso Falls in Monkman Provincial Park. Creation of 30 km of hiking trail to continue the existing route The second portion of the project is the creation of 30 km of hiking trail, to continue the existing hiking trail from Monkman Lake through to Hobi’s Cabin. The existing trail from Kinuso Falls to Monkman Lake is well maintained by BC Parks, but the remaining 30 km from Monkman Lake to Hobi’s Cabin is completely overgrown and needs to be blazed out in order to establish a trail suitable for hiking and backpacking. The total cost for the project is currently estimated at $100,000, and will involve GPS surveying, ground truthing, trail and campsite construction, and signage. The Grande Prairie and Tumbler Ridge museums both have large displays on Monkman Pass and a number of books have been written about its history. The County is pleased to be a part of the start of a wonderful project which will benefit our economy and recognizes the perseverance and determination of our ancestors and the progress they made for our benefit. “We are in the process of making presentations to both businesses and various levels of government for support, both in the form of cash and in-kind donations to assist in the completion of this project, said Kreg Alde. All contributions will be recognized through a trail brochure that will be distributed to the region’s tourists, press releases and media coverage and a permanent plaque that will be erected at the trail head at Kinuso Falls.” Contributions and in-kind donations are now being accepted Anyone interested in helping to continue this project or making a donation can contact Kreg Alde. Pictures of the memorial plaque that has been erected at the Rio Grande Hall, along with the driving and hiking route map, are available on the County of Grande Prairie website at www.countygp.ab.ca. -30- For more information contact: Kreg Alde Bill Rogan Project Coordinator County Administrator Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society County of Grande Prairie (780) 354-8218 Cell: (780) 402-4501 (780) 532-9722 [email protected] [email protected] Rio Grande Crew To Grande Prairie Stony Lake Kinuseo Falls Hobi’s Cabin 1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 Metres Scale 1 : 50 000 Sponsored by: Town of Beaverlodge Cultural Society MONKMAN Ventures Ltd.

    Globalization’s Ruptures and Responses: Lessons from Three BC Communities by Dyan Dunsmoor-Farley B.Mus., University of British Columbia, 1990 M.A., Athabasca University, 2013 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Interdisciplinary Studies © Dyan Leigh Dunsmoor-Farley, 2020, University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or by other means, without the permission of the author. Globalization’s Ruptures and Responses Supervisory Committee Dr. James Lawson, Supervisor (Department of Political Science) Dr. Pamela Shaw, Co-Supervisor, (Adjunct, Faculty of Geography) Dr. Warren Magnusson, Member (Department of Political Science) Dr. Richard Rajala, Outside Member (Department of History) ii Globalization’s Ruptures and Responses Abstract The global economy infuses every aspect of our day to day lives, from the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, to our political choices. And with its ability to “mutate, shudder and shatter” (Dicken et al), the unpredictable ruptures associated with the global economy elude our ability to grasp its impact and to govern its activities. So how, as citizens, do we imagine governing ourselves when ‘nobody appears to be in charge any longer’? How does our understanding of the state apparatuses– the legislation, regulations, policies –speak to people’s day to day experience in their communities? This research addresses two broad questions: how are communities responding to externally generated ruptures and how do they govern themselves in response? I propose that responding coherently to rupture events is inhibited by community members’ lack of awareness of the complex interrelationships of the constituent elements of the economy, and secondarily, a tendency to see the state as the primary site of governance.

  • STONY LAKE History, Trails & Recreation
    STONY LAKE History, Trails & Recreation Stony Lake watercolour, by Euphemia McNaught, 1976 (view from the Stony Lake Ranger Station) The well preserved remains of the old bridge at Stony Lake Stony Lake today Stony Lake, popular for camping, fishing and hiking, lies southeast of Tumbler Ridge, fifty-five kilometers by road via the Boundary Road (Heritage Highway East). Its shores and surrounding area have been the scene of some of the most intriguing history in northeastern British Columbia, such as its first tourist resort and the discovery of natural gas in Canada. 2 Access to Stony Lake today is via a slightly rough road that leads for 1.6 kilometres from the Boundary Road (55 kilometres from Tumbler Ridge) to the Forest Recreation Site on the northeastern shore of the lake. Here there are a number of campsites and fire pits, and a simple boat launch area. Within this area would have stood trapper Emil Kruger’s old 1930s cabin, of which there is no trace. (Its location was under 100 metres east of the boat launch and in the tiny bay just east of the prominent knoll, so as to avoid the force of the prevailing westerly winds.) The lake remains popular for fishing, predominantly Northern Pike, although the prodigious catches of the late 1930s no longer occur. The long reach can make for large waves. Canoeing in an easterly direction along a narrower portion of the lake to the terminal beaver dam is more sheltered, with opportunities for wildlife and bird watching. There are tantalizing remains of the Monkman days, which make for a fascinating trip back into the past.

    “The Re-Birth of a Nation” the Kelly Lake Cree Peoples THE REBIRTH OF A NATION THE KELLY LAKE CREE PEOPLES Marian Kwarakwante 1 “The Re-Birth of a Nation” the Kelly Lake Cree Peoples Throughout this background paper, I will use the Cree people as an example because that is the culture that I am a part of and I was fortunate to be raised with the traditional teachings of the Cree. Therefore my combined knowledge base comes both from the oral history of the elders who raised me as well as from my education. I do not however, purport to speak on behalf of the Kelly Lake Cree Nation or the Rocky Mountain Cree Tribe. Introduction In most First Nation communities, anonymity is the basis for preserving traditional knowledge of the land. For most part, historic records refer to First Nations people in the most marginal terms and many of the artefacts in Provincial museums today are inconsequentially referred and labelled such as “Plains Cree arrow” but does not identify to whom it may have belonged or particular tribes to which it may have come from. The purpose of this background paper is not only to outline on the surface history of Kelly Lake Cree peoples but also to find out who these people were. A genealogy was developed not only for the Kelly Lake Cree Nation land claim but also for the close relations and more distant association with aboriginal families could be studied. The requisites in providing a basis of terms under Section 35 of the Constitution Act the term First Nation and Indian references to what is defined as “Aboriginal”.

  • Monkman Pass Hiking Route Memorial Trail
    MONKMAN PASS MEMORIAL TRAIL HIKING ROUTE –1– The Monkman Pass Memorial Trail is dedicated to the pioneers that dared to follow a dream and take control over their own destiny . These people did not just live in the Peace Country , they created it . The Monkman Pass Memorial Trail Hiking Route is a new, unforget- table, class hiking destination that includes major waterfalls and rivers, lakes, temperate boreal forest, alpine meadows and optional alpine summits. The six day wilderness trail leads through magnificent, remote, untouched mountain terrain, suffused with inspiring, tangible history. The Monkman Pass Memorial Trail comprises a Driving Tour from Grande Prairie to Kinuseo Falls via Tumbler Ridge, and the Hiking Trail from Kinuseo Falls over the Rocky Mountains to Hobi’s Cabin on the Herrick River. The hiking trail is sixty-three kilometres long, and takes five to six days to complete. There are many possible side trips for the adventurous hiker that can make for an expedition of seven to ten days. For those seeking shorter trips, the return hike from Kinuseo Falls to the Cascades and Monkman Lake requires just three days. The trail lies mostly within Monkman Provincial Park and for the most part follows the old Monkman route over the Rockies. Once at Hobi’s Cabin on the Herrick River, it is necessary either to travel by river boat to Prince George, or to be ferried across the Herrick to a waiting ve- hicle. Alternatively, some hikers may wish to hike the trail from south to north and to be dropped off by boat at Hobi’s Cabin.
