  • Favourability Map of British Columbia Geothermal Resources
    Favourability Map of British Columbia Geothermal Resources by Sarah Kimball A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Mining Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September, 2010 © Sarah Kimball, 2010 Abstract British Columbia‟s internal demand for power and demand from export operations is increasing the need for power generation in the province. Moreover, the transition to a low carbon economy stipulates that power supply must be from renewable and low emission sources. Geothermal energy offers significant benefits to British Columbia which hosts Canada‟s best geothermal resources associated with the Pacific Ring of Fire along the Coast Mountain Range. The objective of this work was to visualize and compare the spatial distribution of geothermal resources, transmission infrastructure, and power markets in BC. Using ArcGIS, these factors were combined into a map identifying the most favourable regions for geothermal development in the province. Multi- criteria evaluation of 10 evidence layers was completed in a knowledge-driven model. Publicly available data for temperature gradient, heat flow, volcanic centers, geothermometry, hot springs, geology, faults, and earthquake indicators comprised the resource factor map. Evidence layers in the market and infrastructure factor map included: distance to transmission, regional pricing, and population density. Evidence layers were assigned weights based on a judgment of their importance to geothermal favourability using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The favourability map builds on the 1992 Geothermal Resources Map of British Columbia by incorporating new data, and applying spatial buffers based on studies from producing geothermal fields from around the world.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.

    2021 Quarter 2 Update April 1 - June 30, 2021 Council Strategic Plan 2019-2022 INTRODUCTION Quarter 2 Update: April 1 - June 30, 2021 The second quarter of 2021 saw further expansion of certain activities that had been impacted in previous quarters due to the pandemic. After suspending all outdoor aquatics services in 2020, plans and staffing were put in place to re-open our outdoor aquatic venues (Fuller Lake Park and Crofton Outdoor Pool) for the summer of 2021. Similarly, the Cowichan Aquatic Centre was able to reduce restrictions on programs and services in line with provincial and public health authorities and in conjunction with similar facilities. As well, after a 15-month hiatus, we began to accept applications for special events, and the resumption of summer outdoor events at the Chemainus Bandshell have been confirmed with the Cowichan Valley Cultural Arts Society. A number of public engagement initiatives were also advanced in the second quarter. Engagement on the Master Transportation Plan launched starting with an online public survey seeking information on existing conditions and community needs/gaps, and letters were sent to six First Nations requesting input and their preferred methods of consultation into the transportation plan. Community engagement on growth management, as part of the Official Community Plan (OCP) update, took place and included a background report, survey and webinar, with the results and analysis to be presented to both the OCP Advisory Committee and Council in July. The Public Engagement Committee also met in June to review the draft Public Engagement Policy and discuss next steps, including pausing the completion of the Policy until major engagement projects have been concluded.

  • Driving Directions: Nanaimo to the Wickaninnish Inn Your Overall Travel Time from Nanaimo to the Inn Will Range Between 2.5 and 3 Hours
    Driving Directions: Nanaimo to the Wickaninnish Inn Your overall travel time from Nanaimo to the Inn will range between 2.5 and 3 hours. ● Travel north on Highway 19 for 43km (26 miles). ● Take Exit 60 onto Highway 4 (also known as the Pacific Rim Highway) heading west for 156km (97 miles). You will drive through spectacular Cathedral Grove, historic Port Alberni (drive straight downhill and turn right at the junction/river), and on the winding road around Sproat and Kennedy Lakes. You will also drive through scenic Sutton Pass—at an altitude of 250m (850 feet)—where we especially recommend heeding to the speed limit. Travel westward until you come to the junction between Tofino and Ucluelet. ● Turn right at the Tofino/Ucluelet junction and drive north towards Tofino for 28km (17 miles). Do not turn at the sign for Wickaninnish Beach or Wick Road, but continue right through the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve toward Tofino. ● Once you pass Chesterman Beach Road on the left, take your next left turn at the Wickaninnish Inn sign onto Lynn Road (at the crosswalk). ● Approximately 250 yards down Lynn Road, take the right fork onto Osprey Lane and continue for 300 yards until you reach the Inn. The first building to come into view on your left is Wickaninnish-On-the-Beach, followed by Wickaninnish-At-the-Pointe. Your confirmation will show which building houses your guest room. We wish you safe travels, and look forward to welcoming you!.
