The approaches used in other BC communities. These ‘Innovative South Cowichan OCP project will result in a single new OCP to Practices’ are highlighted in each section. guide development in each of the Electoral Areas for at least the next 10 years. The planning process was launched in early June 2007 and will continue through to early 2009. To be developed with significant community involvement over the next year-and-a-half, the new OCP will include policies on a number of community issues, including land use, transportation, environmentally sensitive areas, parks, housing and economic development. The OCP will include a series of community- developed land use principles and development objectives for the planning area. It will also include plans for smaller sub-areas to preserve and enhance the distinct features and unique character of each community. The Community Profile is a background report for the South Cowichan OCP. It provides an overview of current conditions in the planning area and establishes baseline data to assist with the review of existing OCP policies that may be carried over into the new South Cowichan OCP and development of new OCP policies. The Community Profile also identifies and summarizes substantive planning issues that were identified by the consultant team while researching it. These issues are highlighted, as they may require additional attention during the planning process and/or were not identified in either Electoral Area’s earlier OCPs. For each of the identified substantive planning issues, a set of corresponding responsive policy options is provided for consideration to be included in the South Cowichan OCP.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.

  • Investigating Cowichan River Collaborative Salmon Management Institutions: the Cowichan Harvest Roundtable and the Traditional Cowichan Fish Weir
    Investigating Cowichan River Collaborative Salmon Management Institutions: The Cowichan Harvest Roundtable and the Traditional Cowichan Fish Weir by Chelsea J. Dale Department of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon June 2012 A thesis submitted to the University of Saskatchewan in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master's of Environment and Sustainability Copyright Chelsea J. Dale & Cowichan Tribes Department of Lands and Governance, 2012 ABSTRACT The structure of fisheries management institutions is changing all over the world, due in part to issues of sustainability related to exhaustion of resources, fiscal responsibilities, and the exercising of Aboriginal rights to access subsistence and commercial fisheries. As a result of direct action and successful legal challenges, coupled by the ongoing negotiation of modern treaties, changes in the way authority is exercised over fisheries management is occurring and co-management arrangements are being formed between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal parties. While the study of co-management arrangements is relatively recent, much has been written about their potential to manage fisheries in a sustainable manner. Located on south-eastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, the Cowichan Valley is the historical homeland of the Cowichan Mustimuhw (people). The Cowichan Mustimuhw once controlled an elaborate salmon fishery on the Cowichan River by way of their historical fish weir. Years of conflict between Cowichan Tribes and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) over control of the historical weir led to a significant reduction in Cowichan Mustimuhw control over their historical fishery. In 2008, the Cowichan Tribes Fish Committee (representing the interests of Cowichan members) re-vitalized the historical weir for use as a sustainable salmon management institution.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Feeding and Habitat Preferences of Non-Native Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieui) in Lakes Throughout British Columbia by Martina Beck BSc, University of Victoria, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. John P. Volpe, (School of Environmental Studies) Co-Supervisor Dr. Leif-Matthias Herborg, (School of Environmental Studies) Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. John P. Volpe, School of Environmental Studies Co-Supervisor Dr. Leif-Matthias Herborg, School of Environmental Studies Co-Supervisor Characterization of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) interaction with native species assemblages, especially salmonids, in lakes throughout BC is prerequisite to identification of high-risk systems warranting on-going monitoring. Therefore this project addresses the following issues: How does smallmouth bass (SMB) trophic profile overlap with native species and does it vary across time and space? Schoener’s index of dietary overlap was not significant between SMB and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; α=0.406, 0.257), or cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkia; α=0.145, 0.29). Prey fish levels (Ei =35.4%) and the total energetic density (14.91±4.74J/g) of the cutthroat trout diet from Weston Lake (SMB free) were significantly higher compared to the diet of cutthroat trout from Cusheon Lake (Ei =3.3% and 7.69±1.93J/g) where non-native SMB have been introduced.
