February 2005 374 Pavilion Wcra FEBRUARY 2005 374 PAVILION WCRA PETER COX ARCHIVE SINGH BILN TO LEAD 2860 WCRA News, Page 2 GENERAL MEETING NOTICE The General Meeting of the WCRA will be held on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at the Rainbow Creek station, Willingdon at Penzance in Burnaby, starting at 1930 hours. Entertainment will be a travel spectacular slide show by Don Evans, featuring trips to Istanbul, Turkey; Cologne, Germany; and the ARM 2004 Conference in Utah / Nevada. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING This is due notice that the Annual General Meeting of the West Coast Railway Association will be held Tuesday, February 22, 2005 starting at 1930 hours at Rainbow Creek Station. ON THE COVER Royal Hudson #2860 is pictured at Canadian Pacific's Vancouver station, ready to depart with an eastbound passenger train. While details surrounding this undated photo by an unknown photographer are sketchy, we can determine that it would have been taken in 1955 or 1956, as The Canadian has arrived on the other track (and it started in 1955), and Royal Hudson #2860 pulled the last steam powered passenger train from the station in 1956. (photo provided by Grant Ferguson) Do you have any photos of #2860 in service in years past? If so, we would like to hear from you and to add them to our history files for the Royal Hudson #2860.

How time flies—a correction to the January issue, Pierre Berton came here to launch the Full Steam Ahead Capital Campaign on June 2, 1996 (not 1997). WELCOME TO THE 374 STATION SOCIETY—AND OTHER HEADLINES A huge start to 2005 this month as we announce three major steps forward for the West Coast Railway Association. Read about the donation of the fabulous Peter Cox Archive on page 10, a great addition to our archival collections. And, we are able to let you know that Singh Biln will be joining WCRA to lead our Royal Hudson project—an exciting step, see page 12. Our feature headline announces that agreement has been reached with the 374 Station Society to integrate that organization into the WCRA, and for WCRA to take on the operation of the 374 Pavilion in Vancouver effective July 1, 2005. WCRA (along with the CRHA locally) worked to see historic locomotive #374 restored cosmetically for Expo 86, and has supported its continued preservation at the Roundhouse location in Vancouver’s Yaletown area. The 374 Station Society, led by former Vancouver mayor Jack Volrich, has successfully seen the construction of the 374 Pavilion at that location and managed to open and operate the Pavilion as a public attraction. (see page 7 for more) But more resources are needed, and that’s where WCRA comes in. By working together in a new structure (with the 374 Pavilion as a stand alone operating unit of WCRA) we can increase volunteer resources as well as operating funds to develop this Vancouver attraction. We will open it for longer and more regular hours, and ensure the long term preservation of the locomotive that pulled the first passenger train into our city on May 23, 1887. For West Coast Railway Association, it means a new “storefront” attraction in the City of Vancouver, allowing us increased visibility of our activities and preservation efforts. In the end, it is truly a win-win for all, and that’s good for railway preservation which, after all, is why we exist in the first place. Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE DECEMBER GENERAL MEETING Chair Colin Dathan called meeting to order with 33 members and 2 guests present: • Gordon Hall offered for sale “Royal Hudson” DVD’s and Calendars left over from WCRA News, Page 4 Canada Place.

The coverage is “more than adequate”. · Volunteer Expenses – there are two main ways of being reimbursed for monies expended for Association activities or projects: - In-kind - the volunteer submits receipts to the Association and receives a tax receipt for the amount spent. This is the preferred method as it is the ”least cost” to the Association – example is mileage allowance; - Reimbursement - the volunteer submits receipts to the Association where it is reviewed, and when the expenditure is approved receives a cheque for the amount spent. Note: Reimbursement requires verbal pre-approval for the expenses to be incurred by the project manager - Much discussion followed regarding the accounting changes including · What assurance is there that designated donations actually go the designated project if there aren’t separate bank accounts ? (there are separate accounting accounts) · Temporary use of designated funds by other projects. Jim describes how for a project such as those funded by grants we must often make the expenditure first and then be reimbursed; · Ultimately agreement by all that while there are concerns they would be deferred until the 2005 budget is discussed at which time answers would be presented using the budget to illustrate them. - 2004 Tax receipts – deadline for submission Jan 31st. • Colin Dathan reported on Association Operations: · Deadline for submitting Volunteer Hours is Jan 31st.– Send to Colin · Don’t assume he has them for some other source, send them all WCRA News, Page 5 • Entertainment 2005 Books · Profit from this year’s sales = $800.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract The Sixties were time of conflict and change in Canada and beyond. Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • The 1974 Federal General Election in British Columbia JOHN TERENCE MORLEY
    Comment: The 1974 Federal General Election in British Columbia JOHN TERENCE MORLEY There are many who would insist, no doubt with a certain justification, that it is the height of folly for one but newly arrived in British Columbia to hazard conclusions (particularly in print) about the nature of politics in this tumultuous province. Yet, by taking de Tocqueville as my scholarly muse, there is surely some excuse for recording first blush impressions, even at the risk of being called to order by more seasoned political analysts. In any event, in terms of comment about the results of the last federal election in B.C. it is with these seasoned political analysts, or the bulk of them at any rate, that I wish to deal. Certainly what most forcibly strikes a would-be Tocquevillian emigre from Ontario is the extraordinary self-confidence of the political commentators who appear in the various forms of British Columbia mass media. It matters not if they are profes­ sional journalists, politicians seeking a wider venue for their pronounce­ ments, ordinary folk whose thought about politics has been, as if by acci­ dent, immortalized in cold type or warm videotape, or even the occa­ sional academic of variegated description — all who parade on the media seem to speak with divinely inspired authority. The causes and conse­ quences of political events in B.C. are revealed with a certainty that would even bring a blush (albeit momentary) to the cheek of a Peter Newman or an Anthony Westall. I should like to examine some problems with this cultural trait of self- confident, unquestioning assurance in political commentary by investi­ gating six publicly proclaimed hypotheses about the results of the July 8th federal election.
