Lee joined a railway survey party at the age of 16 after the death of his parents and by the age of 19 was leading surveys with several railway companies in the United Stated. In 1879, Lee became a deputy civil engineer in Leadville, Colorado. In 1881, he began working for the Northern Pacific Railway and worked on branches of the North Pacific and Union Pacific railways throughout the Pacific Northwest. Lee came to Kamloops in 1884 and opened an office as a provincial land surveyor and engineer and, in the following year, began advertising his services as an architect. Lee was listed in the provincial directories as an architect until 1905 and designed a number of buildings in Kamloops, including the former gaol and courthouse, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and a former Roman Catholic Church, and the Bank of British Columbia building formerly located at the corner of 1st Avenue and Victoria Street. In 1886, Lee opened as assay office with Mr. Drummond and F.H. Robson. Shortly after the Assay office closed around 1887, Lee opened a grocery and feed store with F.H. Robson, from which he withdrew in 1888. In the same year, Lee was a founder, trustee and shareholder of the Hidden Treasure Mining Company. In April of 1889, Lee married Violet Tite in Victoria, with whom he had twin daughters in the same year. Shortly afterwards one of the twin daughters died. Lee was one of the original shareholders in the Nicola, Kamloops, and Similkameen Coal and Railway Company when the company incorporated in 1891. In 1893, when the City of Kamloops incorporated, Lee was an alderman on the first City Council of Kamloops, as well as being appointed the director of the Royal Inland Hospital Board. The following year Lee was elected mayor of Kamloops by acclamation, and ran again for the position successfully in 1895 and 1896. Lee ran for the mayoralty in 1898, but was defeated by incumbent M.P. Gordon. In 1897, Lee was appointed to the licence board and was also appointed as a police commissioner and vice president of the Miners’ Protective Association. In 1898 resigned as 2 KAMLOOPS MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES Robert Henry Lee collection 1964.108, etc. 1869-1966 Textual, Cartographic, Technical 1.5 metres Drawing, Architectural Drawing chairman from the Royal Inland Hospital board, but was appointed a Justice of the Peace. Lee was also involved in with the Corps of Guides of Canada, rising to the rank of Lieutenant by 1907. Lee served as Engineer of the City of Kamloops from his time as Mayor and continued to serve as Engineer of the City of Kamloops until his retirement in 1934, with the exclusion of 1912 when he resigned from the position in the middle of his annual contract. This position saw him overseeing the development of much of early Kamloops infrastructure and roadwork, particularly water pumps, sewers, civic building projects, and the subdivision and development of new areas of Kamloops. Lee’s daughter Edith Violet Lee married W.J.C. Hibbert in 1912 and remarried H.J. Rattray in 1924. Lee’s wife Violet passed away in 1928. Robert Henry Lee died in 1935 after an accident in his home at the age of 66. Scope and content: Collection documents predominately the business activities with which Lee was involved in Kamloops, including his assay office, the Hidden Treasure Mining Company, his grocery and his architectural, survey and engineering work. It also includes a number records relating his personal life and the handling of his estate after he passed away by his daughter Violet Rattray (nee Lee). The documents include survey maps, field notes, correspondence, and architectural and technical drawings. Custodial History: Accession 1964.108 was donated to the Kamloops Museum and Archives in 1964 by J.J. Morse after being purchased during an auction of the Rattray Estate prior to R.H. Lee’s daughter Violet Rattray’s death. Accession 0.2306 was donated on June 5, 1956 by R.A. Allison. Accession 0.2931 was donated to the Kamloops Museum by J.J. Morse, after being purchased from an unknown source.

  • West Kelowna Transmission Project
    Welcome to the BC Hydro open house West Kelowna Transmission Project We’re planning for a new, secondary transmission line delivering clean, reliable power to the communities of West Kelowna and Peachland. The new transmission line will strengthen and reinforce the existing transmission network. We’re here to share the most recent project information and to gather your comments on what we know so far. We hope you’ll share your local knowledge of the project study area with us. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Why it’s important Approximately 22,000 customers are served by the Westbank Substation and a single 138 kilovolt transmission line. We’ve prioritized the West Kelowna area as needing a redundant supply of power because of: ○ The large number of customers served by a single transmission line. ○ The challenge of restoring power on the existing transmission line resulting from its 80 kilometre length, remote location and rough terrain. ○ The risk of destructive forces like forest fires and landslides. In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor and manage any risks to the existing transmission line. What’s redundant supply? Redundant supply means there is more than one source (for example, a transmission Iine) providing power to the community or “back-up” power. That way, if one source is taken out of service, the other can still supply the community with electricity. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Our electricity system Generation Transmission Substations Distribution Electricity is generated Electricity is Voltage is reduced at Low voltage by BC Hydro and moved from where substations to provide electricity is provided independent power it’s produced to power suitable for use in to neighbourhoods producers.

  • Nicola River Watershed – Water Use Management Plan Instream Flow Needs for Fish
    Nicola River Watershed – Water Use Management Plan Instream Flow Needs for Fish prepared by: Todd Hatfield Solander Ecological Research Victoria BC for: Allan Kenney Pacific Salmon Foundation Vancouver BC October 30, 2006 1. BACKGROUND Instream flows in the Nicola River and its major tributaries have been consistently identified as a substantial environmental concern. The watershed has numerous important fish stocks, and flows are often well below optimal for rearing and spawning, particularly during the summer and fall period. Water is extracted from the mainstem and its tributaries for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use and during low flow periods there appears to be a clear trade-off between these uses and instream environmental benefits. A public decision-making process has been initiated to develop a Water Use Management Plan (WUMP), with an aim to balance water use and instream flow needs. The purpose of this report is to summarize some of the existing information on instream flows and to provide recommendations for further work with respect to understanding and resolving fish-flow issues. 2. STREAMFLOW DATA Water Survey of Canada (WSC) has several gauges in the watershed, with partial records dating back more than 90 years. In all cases, continuous year-round records are less than 50 years old, and in many cases considerably less. The primary gauges in the watershed, as available on the WSC Hydat database, are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Water Survey of Canada gauging stations in the Nicola River watershed. Note: the last

  • Response of Juvenile Steelhead and Chinook to Drought in the Nicola Watershed
    Response of Juvenile Steelhead and Chinook to Drought in the Nicola Watershed Prepared for BC Conservation Foundation And British Columbia Ministry of Natural Resource Operations Fish and Wildlife Branch By Jody Schick1 Josh Korman Patrick Little Rich McCleary August, 2016 1Box 524, 529 Gower Point Rd, Gibsons BC V0N 1V0, [email protected] i Executive Summary There is a long history of water-related conflicts in the Nicola River watershed. The demand for surface water withdrawals – primarily for irrigation – intensifies during summer periods with low precipitation and high temperatures, which can coincide with the lowest stream flows. Maintaining adequate flows for fish while allowing surface water withdrawals has at times not been possible. During the summer of 2015, the Nicola Basin experienced severe drought conditions following a winter with record low snowpack and low precipitation and high temperatures in spring and summer. Discharge in the Coldwater River fell below the Theoretical Critical Level (TCL) for juvenile salmonids triggering a Fish Protection Order which limited or banned surface water withdrawals for irrigation starting July 31st and continued until September 18th, 2015. The objective of this study is to look at a longer time series of juvenile abundance data for the Nicola system and examine to what extent variation in annual summer drought intensity, measured by discharge and/or temperature, explains the annual trend in juvenile Steelhead and Chinook abundance given the influence of stock size (brood spawners). We compared predicted abundance of juvenile Steelhead Trout and Chinook Salmon based on stock-recruitment models with and without including a single covariate representing either summer drought or winter flow conditions.

The number of spawning fish was variable with little trend prior to 2000. Since then, the population has declined dramatically (79%) over the last three generations and it is now the lowest on record. The 177 mature fish observed in the most recent survey are only about 9.5% of the pre-2000 mean. If the current rate of decline persists for another three generations, the number of spawning fish will decline to 37, which is 2.0% of the pre-2000 abundance.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date (\p\\'2Jo]i 2002- ABSTRACT First Nations people have collected life-sustaining materials provided by the forests of British Columbia since time immemorial. In particular, evidence of collection activities from cedar ()is found in the form of culturally modified trees (CMTs). Today, CMTs are considered archaeological resources because of their value as visible indicators of past forest use. Therefore, under provincial legislation (British Columbia Heritage Conservation Act, and the Forest Practices Code Act), they are managed during forest development planning. The value of CMTs extends beyond their contribution to the archaeological record, however, to include: a) legal evidence of Aboriginal rights and title and b) symbols of cultural practices centered around the respect for, and understanding of, people's relationship with nature.
