  • How to Get to the Wild West Coast... Tofino B.C
    HOW TO GET TO THE WILD WEST COAST... TOFINO B.C. Tofino is found on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Stand on the beach in Tofino and the next land you would reach, going west, would be Japan. The drive between Victoria and Tofino was recently ranked as one of the top three drives in Canada in the 2004 edition of the Michelin North American Road Atlas. Found at the very end of the Trans-Canada Highway, Tofino and Long Beach Lodge Resort are located 321 kilometres from Victoria, 208 kilometres from Nanaimo, (Vancouver Island’s second largest city), and 130 kilometres west of Port Alberni and 42 kilometres north of Ucluelet on Highway 4 (also called the Pacific Rim Highway). Vancouver Island and Tofino are easily accessible by sea, air and land. Driving times are approximate, especially if you stop to view the stunning scenery along the way: Victoria to Tofino = 4.5 hrs Nanaimo to Tofino = 2.5 hrs Port Alberni to Tofino = 1.5 hrs BY SEA BC Ferries Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service from Mainland BC to Vancouver Island Vancouver (Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) or Nanaimo (Departure Bay and Duke Point) In person at their new Vacations Centre located at 1010 Canada Place, Vancouver BC or call 1-888-223-3779 Tel: (250) 386-3431 www.bcferries.bc.ca Victoria Clipper Year-round, daily passenger ferry service between Seattle and Victoria Tel: (206) 448-5000 www.victoriaclipper.com Black Ball Transport Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service between Victoria and Port Angeles, WA on

  • A Study of Present and Future Interurban Transportation Emissions in British Columbia, Canada, Relative to Its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act of 2007
    OFF TRACK TO 2050?: A STUDY OF PRESENT AND FUTURE INTERURBAN TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, RELATIVE TO ITS GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION TARGETS ACT OF 2007 by Moritz Alexander Schare B.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 2008 M.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 2012 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA FEBRUARY 2016 © Moritz Alexander Schare, 2016 originating from sources in a defined category, such as transportation, in a given geographical area (for example, global or national or local) over a given time span (the typical time frame is one year). An inventory usually also contains data to calculate the emissions. In addition, an inventory can include other emissions-related information or calculations such as emission factors (the amount of the pollutant emitted per unit activity). The objective of the research in this dissertation was to develop an emissions inventory for the transportation sector in British Columbia (BC) that could be used to answer various policy-related questions about BC's present-day and future transportation emissions. There are two distinct types of transportation emissions inventories: top-down and bottom-up. Top-down inventories are based on large-scale, overarching ('top level') data, such as total fuel sales for a given jurisdiction, that are used to calculate emissions which are then allocated to the lower levels in some manner within the jurisdiction. Bottom-up inventories work in the opposite direction, so to speak. They start with small-scale, on-the- ground (' bottom level ' ) data, such as fuel sales at each sales outlet within a jurisdiction, that are used to calculate emissions which are then summed up in some manner for the jurisdiction.

    CITY OF NANAIMO COMMUNITY PROFILE 2020 Community Profile MAYOR’S WELCOME On behalf of City Council and the citizens of Nanaimo, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our beautiful city. As the economic hub of central Vancouver Island, Nanaimo boasts both a vibrant business community and an exceptional quality of life. Nanaimo has transitioned from a commodity- based economy that relied on an abundance of natural resources from the forests and ocean towards a service- based “knowledge” economy that relies on the skills, talent and innovation of the local workforce. The city is now a regional centre for health services, technology, retail, construction, manufacturing, education and government services. Nanaimo is a central transportation and distribution hub for Vancouver Island. Home to an excellent deep-sea port, this ocean-side city receives 4.6 million tons (2019) of cargo through its port facilities and deep-sea terminal at Duke Point each year. Air Canada offers direct flights to Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto from the Nanaimo Airport, an all-weather facility. Seaplanes and Helijet link downtown Nanaimo to downtown Vancouver in 20 minutes. BC Ferries provides vehicle and passenger service between Nanaimo and Vancouver as well as Richmond from two terminals located in Nanaimo. Businesses choose to locate in Nanaimo because of the cost efficiencies and a complete range of telecommunications services. Nanaimo offers a well-trained, stable and educated workforce. Vancouver Island University graduates, from various disciplines, provide a constant stream of new employees for area companies. Nanaimo City Council values our over 6,200 businesses and offers support programs through the Economic Development office.
