Environment and Economy in the Finnish-Canadian Settlement of Sointula
Utopians and Utilitarians: Environment and Economy in the Finnish-Canadian Settlement of Sointula M IKKO SAIKKU There – where virgin nature, unaltered by human hand, exudes its own, mysterious life – we shall find the sweet feeling that terrifies a corrupt human being, but makes a virtuous one sing with poetic joy. There, amidst nature, we shall find ourselves and feel the craving for love, justice, and harmony. Matti Kurikka, 19031 he history of Sointula in British Columbia – the name of the community is a Finnish word roughly translatable as “a place of harmony” – provides ample material for an entertaining T 1901 narrative. The settlement was founded in as a Finnish utopian commune on the remote Malcolm Island in Queen Charlotte Strait. Al- though maybe a quarter of Malcolm Island’s eight hundred inhabitants are still of Finnish descent, little Finnish is spoken in the community today.2 Between the 1900s and the 1960s, however, the predominant language of communication in Sointula was Finnish. The essentials of Sointula’s fascinating history are rather well known: they include the establishment of an ethnically homogenous, utopian socialist commune; its inevitable breakup; strong socialist and co-operative 1 I wish to thank Pirkko Hautamäki, Markku Henriksson, Kevin Wilson, the editor of BC Studies, and two anonymous readers for their thoughtful comments on the manuscript. A 2004 travel grant from the Chancellor’s Office at the University of Helsinki and a 2005 Foreign Affairs Canada Faculty Research Award enabled me to conduct research in British Columbia. Tom Roper, Gloria Williams, and other staff at the Sointula Museum were most supportive of my research on Malcolm Island, while Jim Kilbourne and Randy Williams kindly provided me with the hands-on experience of trolling for Pacific salmon onboard the Chase River.

Mt Waddington
Vancouver Island, BC Vancouver Island’s North Coast The locations may be remote, but the possibilities are not! Small, friendly and Affordable Communities Do you enjoy being surrounded by magnificent scenery and outdoor recreation? Consider the joy of working in a close‐ knit, small‐town community setting and the important role healthcare providers’ play in these communities. We offer the best possible life-work balance with community focused teams, relocation assistance and an amazing lifestyle in one of Canada’s best climates. Rehabilitation Roles - Unique Opportunities in a Challenging Environment Living and working in remote northern locations is not without it challenges but the rewards are enormous. You will work closely with the First Nations communities in places few visitors ever get to see. Commute by Air - We have a special primary care team that flies into Kingcome and Gilford by helicopter every two weeks. The team is made up of physician and primary health care nurse who go in every trip. Based on needs and referrals, this team will also include an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, diabetes educator, dietician or mental health and addictions workers. Zeballos and Kyuquot are based on referrals and travel is either by road or by helicopter once a month when the physician flies in. Each of these two communities has a nursing station run by Island Health. Distinctive Rehabilitation Teams – In Mount Waddington, our rehabilitation team incorporates a physiotherapist, occupational therapist and a rehabilitation assistant. New graduates receive practice support and mentorship from our experienced staff. Additional support for the community resource team comes from the rehabilitation teams in Campbell River.

Experience has demonstrated, for example, ward from the northern end of the Strat of Georgia that the channels ofthe Johnstone Strait region form a key provides access to some of the most spectacular scenery on link in the migration route of Pacific salmon. Indicative of the British Columbia coast.

In certain years of the 4yr cyde, this ‘‘hver- abundant, and it is not uncommon to see a pod of killer sion” of salmon through the northern passages is close to whales or a school of porpoises movin easily through the half the returning run.

The large numbers ofkiller whales that imately 57% of the run chose this route rather than Juan frequently gather in Robson Bight, at the western end of de Fuca Strait, and in 1980 there was a record diversion of Johnstone Suait, create an impressive sight, unequalled in 70%. few areas of the coast. Because the three main channels carry most of the water that flows between the Pacific Ocean and the north- em end of the Strait of Georgia, they further influence the physical oceanographic structure of the inside passage and adjoining fiords.

The Marine Economy & the Regional District of Mt. Waddington in BC
The Marine Economy & the Regional District of Mt. Waddington in BC Prepared for: Living Oceans Society & Regional District of Mt. Waddington Quantifying Nature’s Bounty: The Contribution of Marine Ecosystems to Local Communities Prepared by: GSGislason & Associates Ltd. Vancouver, Canada March 2011 Summary Introduction • the study identifies the economic importance of a wide range of private sector marine- based activities on the economy of the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) which is located on the Northern portion of Vancouver Island. The study demonstrates the linkages between the economic livelihoods of people, businesses and communities to the marine environment. • the study involved interviews with 87 individuals - 54 from a special Marine Recreation Business Survey (23 sport fishing, 31 other businesses) and 33 from targeted interviews with other business, government & First Nations - as well as review & synthesis of existing information/data. • the focus is the economic measures and employment accruing to individuals living in RDMW i.e., RDMW residents. Results • the marine industries generate $48 million in wages & benefits and 1,160 person-years of employment directly to RDMW residents from the following activities (see Exhibit A). Wages & Benefits Employment Direct Industry Impacts* $ million person-years or PYs Commercial Fisheries 8.3 305 Aquaculture 19.2 400 Marine Recreation - Sport Fishing 5.0 120 - Other 8.0 225 Marine Transport 7.5 110 Total 48.0 1,160 • multiplier effects from indirect supplier impacts and from induced consumer respending impacts on the retail sector add another $7.2 million in wages & benefits and another 180 person-years of employment to the tally - total impacts therefore are $55.2 million in wages and 1,340 person years employment.
