    The EVOLUTION OF WILDLIFE EXCLUSION SYSTEMS ON HIGhwAYS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Leonard E. Sielecki (250-356-2255, [email protected]), British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, P.O. Box 9850, STN PROV GOVT, 4B - 940 Blanshard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9T5, Fax: 250-387-7735 Canada Abstract: Since the mid-1980’s, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation (BCMoT) has been addressing the issue of motor vehicle-related wildlife collisions on Provincial highways with engineered wildlife exclusion systems. As a result of this initiative, the British Columbia has one of the most extensive networks of wildlife exclusion systems, designed to reduce and prevent motor-vehicle-related mortality of terrestrial mammals, in North America. Typically, wildlife exclusion systems are incorporated as an integral part of new highway development after the potential of wildlife mortality has been identified during highway planning stages. The systems are designed to protect wildlife from motor vehicles and ensure wildlife habitat connectivity. They have been constructed primarily on limited- access, high-speed highways and expressways and designed to protect specific species of wildlife, primarily large ungulates, such as deer, elk, moose and mountain sheep. The systems comprise of specialized fencing and related structures, such as one-way gates, ungulate guards, and crossing structures, designed to safely and effectively protect wildlife by recognizing species-specific behavioral, physical and anatomical characteristics. To date, BCMoT has installed over 470 km of wildlife fencing, incorporating over 100 crossing structures and hundreds of one-way gates. While the wildlife exclusion systems have been shown to reduce the potential for motor vehicle-related wildlife mortal- ity, BCMoT is continually reviewing the designs of the components of these systems in an ongoing effort to improve them.

  • September 2, 2020 Press Release – the Passenger Transportation Board Approves the Application Submitted by Tofino Bus Services
    September 2, 2020 Press Release – The Passenger Transportation Board Approves the Application Submitted by Tofino Bus Services Incorporated to Eliminate its Route between Campbell River and Port Hardy The Passenger Transportation Board is an independent licensing tribunal with a mandate to make decisions on applications relating to inter-city bus as well as ride-hail, taxi and limousine authorizations. The Board has approved the application submitted by Tofino Bus Services Incorporated (Tofino Bus) to eliminate its route between Campbell River and Port Hardy. The Board’s decision was based on the findings below. o The evidence provided by Tofino Bus and submitters demonstrated low ridership on the Campbell River / Port Hardy route. o The Board found that the low ridership numbers presented by Tofino Bus indicated insufficient demand to support public need for the service. o The Board found that if Tofino Bus continued to operate the route segment, this could have a negative impact on the viability of Tofino Bus on Vancouver Island. The decision was made after a careful review of the materials received during the application process which included supporting information and evidence provided by the applicant and over 30 submissions from interested members of the public, local governments and local Health Authorities. Due to COVID- 19, Tofino Bus ceased operating the Campbell River to Port Hardy route in March 2020. The Board has received an application from Port Hardy based Waivin Flags Ltd for a license to operate an inter-city bus between Campbell River and Port Hardy three times a week in each direction. This application is still before the Board and a final decision has not yet been reached.

  • WSANEC Emerging Land Or Emerging People Jack Horne
    The Arbutus Review Vol. 3, No. 2 (2012) Horne WSANEC Emerging Land or Emerging People Jack Horne Abstract: The WSANEC Nation has been located on what is now known as the Saanich Peninsula on southern Vancouver Island since time immemorial. Remarkably little has been written about this Nation, which was divided by the Oregon Treaty in 1846 into Canadian/American sides of the border. In Canada the WSANEC Nation was then further divided into 4 separate reserves. This article examines the WSANEC Nation’s relationship with its traditional territories, the effects of colonization on this relationship, and ongoing resistance to continued colonization from both internal and external forces. WSANEC history is examined through the documentation in the Nation’s oral traditions, using the Douglas Treaties, the landmark Saanich Bay Marina Case, and James Island development as examples. Key Terms: WSANEC; Douglas Treaty; Coast Salish Introduction The WSANEC Nation is located on what is now known as the Saanich Peninsula on the southern part of Vancouver Island. WSANEC territories once encompassed the entire Saanich Peninsula, many of the surrounding Islands, and extended south onto the mainland of Washington State. With the signing of the Oregon treaty in 1846, WSANEC territories and people were divided into Canadian or American sides (Sage, 1946). As a result, family ties were disrupted and families on each side of the border were left to face different government policies. The WSANEC Nation in Canada is currently divided into four separate reserves located in the areas known today as: Tsawout, Tsartlip, Puaquachin, and Tseycum. While a great deal of scholarship has been written about the Indigenous peoples of British Columbia there has been remarkably little written about the WSANEC Nation.
