Many thanks, Noba ‐‐ Director, Noba Anderson Cortes Island, Area B Strathcona Regional District [email protected] Tel: 250‐935‐0320 1 Noba Anderson, Director Cortes– Electoral Area ‘B’ Tel: 250-935-0320 E-mail: [email protected] Fellow SRD Board members March 4, 2019 It is my delight to share with you the recently released Cortes Island Local Economic Action Plan, funded largely through a combination of Island Coastal Economic Trust funds and Area B SRD Grant in Aid funds. It was a big piece of work by the community and many involved and it was an honour to be on the working team. We have received very favourable comments back from Line Robert at ICET about our final report and I welcome your feedback. The following is the short note issued recently to the Cortes community by CIBATA, and paper copies of the report are making their way into the hands of key local people and organisations and a Community Economic Development Working Group is being formed to begin implementation of the report’s recommendations. The Cortes Island Business & Tourism Association (CIBATA) is proud to release our 2018 Cortes Local Economic Action Plan (LEAP). Initiated in 2016, after our 2015 Cortes Island Economic Development Forum, the LEAP plan is the result of 2 years of community engagement initiated by CIBATA members and the LEAP Community Steering Committee. The purpose of the LEAP was to engage the community of Cortes in designing a community economic development strategy, and to identify economic priorities and actions for the island other the next five years. In the coming months CIBATA members will be hosting a number of community workshops on island to share the key findings, recommendations and actions steps coming out of the report. The full report can be viewed by clicking the link below. http://cibata.ca/wp- content/uploads/2018/12/LEAP- Report_Final_Dec2018_sm.pdf Sincerely, Noba Anderson, Regional Director The views expressed in this letter are those of the director and do not necessarily reflect those of the corporation or the full board of directors. CORTES ISLAND Local Economic Action Plan 2018 1 Acknowledgements Cortes is the island of the T’oq qaymexw / People of T’oq. It is within the traditional territory of the ƛohos (Klahoose), Tla’Amin, and Xwemalhkwu (Homalco) First Nations. All truly visionary economic planning must be developed within a framework of reconciliation. Economic Reconciliation nurtures relationship building and shared prosperity, ensuring opportunities for all peoples to achieve their full potential. It is our hope that this LEAP report will be an important step in furthering Economic Reconciliation on Cortes Island. We sincerely thank our dedicated and talented Local Economic Action Plan (LEAP) steering committee who committed over a year to this process: Adam Schick (Chair), members Noba Anderson, Bill Dougan, Colin Funk, Eric Hargrave, Dan Hilton, Mary Lavelle, Mark Lombard, Heather McKenzie, Dave Nikleva, Fred Savage, Georgina Silby, Terri Storey, Romina Wendell, and Coordinator, Helen Hall. Much appreciation goes out to our report consultants for guiding us through key parts of this process: Daniel Arbour Consulting from Hornby Island, Dan Wilson and Cheeying Ho of the Whistler Centre for Sustainability, Phil Cox of PlanNet Limited, and Brittany Baxter (design and layout). To the citizens of Cortes Island: thank you for all the time and interest you shared to actively engage in this important and timely island initiative. We also extend sincere gratitude to our funders, Island Community Economic Trust and the Strathcona Regional District, as well as to CIBATA members for their continued support and vision. 2 LEAP Report / Overview As the elected representative from Cortes Island The Foundation’s swift and farsighted action to local government, I sit in the only formalized resulted in the purchase of over 50 acres of position that has in its mandate an island-wide prime land in the heart of Mansons Landing, and cross-sectoral perspective.

Nelson, Associate Professor of Art History, McGill University Managing Editor: Anna T. January, MA Art History, McGill University Editorial Contributor: Barbara E. Nelson © CHARMAINE A. NELSON AND INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS 1 CHRYSALIS was created by Dr. Charmaine A. Nelson as a vehicle to showcase the most innovative, rigorous, and sophisticated research produced by students within the context of her Art History courses at McGill University (Montreal). Over the years, Nelson observed that undergraduate students in her courses were more than capable of producing exceptional research on par with that of graduate students, and at times even professional academics. Disappointed that the majority of these students were faced with a negligible audience (if any) for their incredible work, with the help of her MA Art History student Anna T. January, Nelson came up with the idea to provide another platform for their research dissemination. CHRYSALIS is that platform! CHRYSALIS is an open access, electronic journal that will be published bi-annually on Nelson’s research website: www.blackcanadianstudies.com The goal of CHRYSALIS is transformation: to publish scholarship that seeks answers to exciting new questions, to encourage students to undertake primary research and to open the discipline of Art History in ways that make it more welcoming to a diverse population of students.

    Getting Home From Work: Narrating Settler Home in British Columbia’s Small Resource Communities by Stephanie Keane B.A. (Hon.), University of British Columbia, 1997 M.A., University of British Columbia, 2001 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of English © Stephanie Keane, 2016 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author ii Supervisory Committee Getting Home From Work: Narrating Settler Home in British Columbia’s Small Resource Communities by Stephanie Keane B.A. (Hon.), University of British Columbia, 1997 M.A., University of British Columbia, 2001 Dr. Misao Dean, Supervisor Department of English Dr. Jamie Dopp, Departmental Member Department of English Dr. John Lutz, Outside Member Department of History iii Abstract Stories of home do more than contribute to a culture that creates multiple ways of seeing a place: they also claim that the represented people and their shared values belong in place; that is, they claim land. Narrators of post-war B.C. resource communities create narratives that support residents’ presence although their employment, which impoverishes First Nations people and destroys ecosystems, runs counter to contemporary national constructions of Canada as a tolerant and environmentalist community. As the first two chapters show, neither narratives of nomadic early workers nor those of contemporary town residents represent values that support contemporary settler communities’ claims to be at home, as such stories associate resource work with opportunism, environmental damage, race- and gender- based oppression, and social chaos.
