Beltane or Beltaine is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on May 1, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In Irish the name for the festival day is Lá Bealtaine, in Scottish Gaelic Là Bealltainn, and in Manx Gaelic Laa Boaltinn/Boaldyn. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh – and is similar to the Welsh Calan Mai. -

Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch 2006-2007
Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch 2006-2007 DirectoryA guide to community involvement, stewardship, Streamkeepers, and education projects in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory Published by Community Involvement Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch Fisheries and Oceans Canada Suite 200 – 401 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3S4 Dear Stewardship Community, This edition of the Stewardship and Community Involvement directory marks our 15th year of publication. We believe this is a useful reference tool, providing a summary of the numerous community-based projects and activities that partner with Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Community Programs. This edition is organized by geographic areas to reflect the area-based management model which Fisheries and Oceans Canada has implemented in the Pacific Region. The future of our world depends upon educating children and young adults. The Stream to Sea education program is strongly supported throughout Pacific Region, with involvement of over 25 part and full-time Education Coordinators, 18 Community Advisors and many educational professionals and volunteers supporting the program. The Stream to Sea program combines oceans and aquatic species education and lessons on marine and freshwater habitat to create a stewardship ethic. The ultimate goal is to have students become aquatic stewards, caring for the environment around them. The Community Advisors dedicate their mission statement to the volunteers and community projects: “Fostering cooperative fisheries and watershed stewardship through education and involvement”. Our Community Advisors work alongside the stewardship community, building partnerships within community. From assisting with mini hatchery programs, policy implementation, to taking an active role in oceans and watershed planning, these staff members are the public face of DFO. -

The routes of precontact inland trails are no longer known well due to the decimation of the local population in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industrial logging is threatening to destroy archaeological evidence of the inland trail network, and therefore this inquiry is timely. The largest and most topographically diverse island, Graham, has been the subject of many archaeological impact assessments that have documented hundreds of archaeological sites, most of them containing culturally modified trees.
