    CONVERGENCE AND COLLABORATION: INTEGRATING CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT By STEPHEN JOHN MALINS B.A., University of Victoria, 1990 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in ENVIRONMENT AND MANAGEMENT We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard ______________________________ Dr. Alice MacGillivray, Thesis Supervisor Fielding Graduate University ______________________________ ______________________________ Thesis Coordinator Michael-Anne Noble, Director School of Environment and Sustainability School of Environment and Sustainability ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY March 2011 © Stephen John Malins, 2011 Convergence and Collaboration ii ABSTRACT Protected heritage area management is challenged by conflicting priorities perpetuated by the real and perceived dichotomy between cultural and natural resource management, their practitioners, their disciplines, and their values. Current guidelines promote integrating cultural and natural resource management to ensure holistic management of all values within a protected heritage area. This paper uses the management of the Cave and Basin National Historic Site to illustrate challenges in protecting both historic and natural resources. A qualitative inductive study included analysis of interview and focus group data for the site and similar protected heritage areas. The gap between integrative policies and the tendency for uni-disciplinary approaches to the practice of managing protected heritage areas is investigated. Five barriers to integration, such as lack of awareness, and five methods for progress, including facilitated inclusion, are examined. The author proposes collaborative, sustainable, values-based practices for the successful integration of cultural and natural resource management. Convergence and Collaboration iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to a number of people who have seen me through this journey from tilting at windmills to slaying of dragons.

  • Archaeological Assessment of the Twin Falls Teahouse National Historic Site, Yoho National Park
    Archaeological Assessment of the Twin Falls Teahouse National Historic Site, Yoho National Park William Perry Cultural Resource Services, Parks Canada, Calgary May 1999 Twin Falls Teahouse National Historic Site Assessment 2 Introduction From September 8th to the 10th, 1998, the Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site located in the backcountry of Yoho National Park (figure 1), was assessed by an archaeological team from Cultural Resource Services, Western Canada Service Centre, Parks Canada, Calgary. The assessment was part of a larger heritage recording and assessment program led by Public Works, Architecture and Engineering, Calgary. The archaeological component of this recording involved the excavation at three locations along the foundation of the log structure to aid the restoration recording team in obtaining structural information as well as enhancing the site's historic and archaeological information base. Background The site was initially recorded in 1985 (Sumpter and Perry 1987:31), where the log chalet was photographed and a brief structural history was reported (See Getty 1972:200; Canadian Pacific Railway 1928:2,8,9; and Richard Friesen and Associates 1985:npag.). This initial assessment was a baseline recording and did not provide any management direction. Rectangular in shape, the lodge was constructed in three stages. The first stage involved the erection of a one-room cabin ca. 1908. The second stage, an addition, was constructed about 1917. The third stage, a two-storey log chalet addition, was constructed around 1923-24 (Getty 1972:200). This log structure was the first of five teahouses to be erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway in Yoho National Park.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
