Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan File: 31090-25-03 March 30, 1999 Dear Reader: Re: Approval and Direction to Implement The Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan On behalf of Cabinet, we are pleased to approve the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) and direct participating ministries to implement the plan. The LRMP is intended to guide ongoing resource management activities including designation of new provincial parks and planning for forest development. The Omineca- Peace Interagency Management Committee is charged with ensuring that the plan is implemented, monitored and reviewed. We would like to thank members of the LRMP table for the considerable dedication and effort that they brought to the table in developing this plan for the management of land and resources in the.Fort St. James LRMP area. The table has demonstrated that diverse interests can work together to develop consensus on future management of land and resources. Their cooperative approach and commitment in negotiation at the community level are exemplary for other Land and Resource Management Planning processes. We encourage table members to continue to participate in plan monitoring. Your ongoing interest and involvement will ensure that the Fort St. James LRMP continues to guide resource management activities and provide sustainable development in the Fort St. James LRMP area. ORIGINAL SIGNED BY ORIGINAL SIGNED BY ORIGINAL SIGNED BY Dan Miller Cathy McGregor Minister of Energy and Minister of Environment, Lands David Zirnhelt Mines and Parks Minister of Forests Executive Summary The Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) officially began on October 21, 1992. The key successes of this plan include: increased certainty for resource development industries while clearly stating what considerations need to be made for other resource values in development planning. the development of an innovative Caribou Strategy which represents agreementses recommended in adjacent planning areas (i.e., the Omineca and Stuart River Protected Areas). a strong commitment to Co-ordinated Access Management Planning for the relatively unaccessed northern half of the planning area. The development of this LRMP is coming at a time when roaded access and forest development occurs just to the south of the midpoint of the district, and when much of this district is still in pristine condition. This plan highlights the resource management opportunities and challenges as forest development moves north towards these largely undeveloped areas, and recommends pro-active integrated resource management, instead of reactive issue management. Setting The Stage — the Fort St. James Plan Area There are 3.174 million hectares in the Fort St. James plan area, currently supplying approximately 3 million cubic metres of timber annually, and generating 131 million dollars in stumpage (1997). An increase in this harvest level is expected in the near future. The plan area supports a population base of approximately 4,000 people. Although the population base is small, the resources in this area support regional and provincial economies in guiding, tourism, mining, the forest industry, agriculture, fisheries, and service sectors. Who Was Involved Participation in this Land and Resource Management Plan has fluctuated, averaging roughly 30-40 participants throughout the seven-year process. The LRMP Table worked with an open-door policy and interest based negotiations, and was not sector-based like many other planning processes. An overall goal of the LRMP is to develop land use plans with the co-operation and participation of First Nations living, working and having traditional territories within the LRMP area. Working Group members identified the need to address issues and concerns of First Nations communities, as they apply to the resources within the planning area. Representatives of several First Nations attended early meetings but other priorities, primarily treaty negotiations, resulted in that participation dropping off as the LRMP process continued. The key issues for local participants were the stability of the community of Fort St. James, and integrated resource management. The key issues for regional participants were integrated resource management strategies that considered management for caribou, the stability of the Prince George Timber Supply Area, tourism and guide outfitting, and opportunities for mineral exploration. What Resulted The Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan divides a 3.174 million hectare landbase into 36 Resource Management Zones (RMZ‟s), which fall into five categories: Settlement/Agriculture RMZ — This category represents < 1% of the LRMP landbase, and designates lands within the zone are that are currently used or proposed for farming, and/or are used or proposed for settlement in an Official Community Plan, Crown Land Plan, or LRMP. Management on these lands integrates Crown lands with the historic pattern of settlement and agriculture in the planning area, and management of natural resource values and resource development is compatible with this. Resource Development RMZ — Representing 32% of the landbase, these are lands with existing or future potential for intensive resource development. These are managed with consideration of other resource values and within the guidelines of specific zone objectives and strategies. Management on these lands emphasizes the development of resources such as mineral extraction and timber harvesting, while minimizing impacts on other resources through a variety of integrate resource management strategies. Access is relatively unrestricted, with the exception of any land that may need special management considerations. Multi-Value RMZ — Representing 45% of the landbase, these lands are managed to integrate a wide range of resource values. Access within these zones is relatively unrestricted, with the exception of specific areas that are recommended for special management considerations. Special Management RMZ — Representing 16% of the landbase, these lands are managed for a wide array of resources, but in general indicate the need for more sensitive resource management. Resource development (including roaded access development) may proceed as long as impacts on other resource values are minimized and resource values are maintained. Protected Area RMZ — Representing 6% of the landbase, Protected Areas are established in perpetuity so that the ecological systems they encompass can continue to evolve with a minimum of intervention. The Protected Area System comprises a family of Protected Areas. The system, rather than individual areas, provides for the diversity of ecosystems, special features and outdoor recreation opportunities and experiences sought. In Special Management and Multi-Value Resource Management Zones the RMZ label is complemented by resource management intent statements that clarify and provide sensitive management for identified significant resources. Two areas in this plan have been recommended as special management subzones. These areas are: a corridor of roughly 250 m on either side of the Sustut River, with no resource extraction, to protect the Class 1 Classified Waters of the Sustut River (Lower Sustut Resource Management Zone). the Upper Jake Creek Watershed subzone, with no forest harvesting except for forest health purposes (Squingula Resource Management Zone, subzone A). These two areas represent less than 1% of the landbase (24,649 hectares), and less than 0.1% of the available timber volume in the planning area. Protected Areas The LRMP Table was able to reach consensus on twenty-two Protected Areas, representing 5.9% of the landbase, or roughly 187,000 hectares. The original target for new and existing Protected Areas in this planning area as established by the Land Use Co-ordination Office was 5.8% (plus or minus 0.25%), or roughly 184,000 hectares. Therefore the Fort St. James LRMP is within the target proposed by the Land Use Co- ordination Office. The Protected Areas recommended in this plan include: Stuart River Protected Area (5,575 hectares) — Key values include a small elk population and a migration corridor for sockeye salmon. Mt. Pope Protected Area (1,944 hectares) — Key values include mule deer winter range, Douglas-fir representation, some unique plant and animal species associated with limestone rock formations, and significant recreation values. Fleming Protected Area (41,590 hectares) — Key values include wetland complexes that serve as a stopover for migrating waterfowl and high wildlife values. Mudzenchoot Protected Area (637 hectares) — A dry meadow complex with some unique plant species. Blanchet Protected Area (24,099 hectares) — Key values include significant caribou over-wintering and calving areas, suitable mountain goat habitat, and excellent representation of alpine flora. Nation Protected Area (18,732 hectares) — Key values include the Nation Lakes canoe route and associated visual and recreation values. Omineca Protected Area (6,707 hectares) — The broad U-shaped valley provides significant riparian habitats and recreation values, as well as connectivity with the proposed Protected Area in the Mackenzie planning area. Damdochax Protected Area (8,097 hectares) — Key values include very important wildlife habitat, a wetland riparian complex that provides significant habitat for grizzly bear and moose, and the terminus for a small but significant run of sockeye salmon.

  • The Burning of Kitsegukla, 1872 R.M.GALOIS
    The Burning of Kitsegukla, 1872 R.M.GALOIS Early in June 1872, Constable Robert Brown of the British Columbia Provincial Police left his post at Port Essington to head up the Skeena River. He intended to travel by canoe to Hazelton, then overland to Babine Lake before returning to the mouth of the Skeena: in all a round trip of nearly 500 miles. As the only representative of provincial authority in this considerable territory, Brown was making his journey "to collect Revenue etc." from the few white residents and transient miners in the area.1 But Brown never completed his trip. At Kitsegukla, a Gitksan village over a hundred miles up the Skeena, his progress was halted by a group of angry natives. Their village had been destroyed by fire a few days earlier, and now they refused Brown passage up the river. This paper is concerned with Brown's encounter at Kitsegukla and its consequences. Reconstruction of these events on the basis of contemporary records is a fairly straightforward task. It offers an account seen, primarily, through the eyes of white participants. But such a unilateral description of a clash involving people of two very different cultures has clear limita­ tions. Native actions are diminished and, as a direct consequence, white actions decontextualized. A more balanced view calls for serious con­ sideration of the Gitksan perception of the "burning of Kitsegukla." This is no simple matter, raising both interpretative and empirical problems. Of the former, one rather obvious, but essential, point needs to be made at this juncture: Gitksan responses to the burning of Kitsegukla were based on the logic of their own cultural universe.

  • Britain's Magnificent “Forts”
    Britain’s Magnificent “Forts” The Freedom Freighters of WW 2 By Geoff Walker For our non-seafaring friends, many would associate the word “Fort” with some kind of medieval bastion or land based strong hold, but in the case to hand, nothing could be further from reality. Fort was the name given to a class of Cargo Ship built in Canada during WW2, for the British government (MOWT), under the Lend Lease scheme. All Fort ships, except two which were paid for outright, were transferred on bareboat charter, on Lend - lease terms, from the Canadian Government or the U.S. War Shipping Administration who bought ninety of the 'Forts' built in Canada. The construction of this type of ship commenced in 1942, and by war’s end well over 230 of these vessels had been delivered to the MOWT, (including all “Fort” variants and those built as Tankers) each at an average cost of $1,856,500. Often, confusion persists between “Fort” and “Park” class ships that were built in Canada. To clarify, “Fort” ships were ships transferred to the British Government and the “Park” ships were those employed by the Canadian Government, both types had similar design specifications. All Fort ships were given names prefixed by the word “Fort”, whilst “Park” ships all had names ending or suffixed with “Park” at the time of their launching, although names were frequently changed later during their working life. These ships were built across eighteen different Canadian shipyards. Their triple expansion steam engines were built by seven different manufacturers. There were 3 sub-classes of the type, namely, “North Sands” type which were mainly of riveted construction, and the “Canadian” and “Victory” types, which were of welded construction.

    The Ethno-Genesis of the Mixed-Ancestry Population in New Caledonia Duane Thomson n British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada the question of which mixed-ancestry persons qualify for Métis status is a largely unresolved public policy issue. Whether this issue is eventually Idecided by legal decisions or by political accommodation, the historical background relating to British Columbia’s mixed-ancestry population is an important element in the discussion and requires detailed exploration. Historical research conducted for the Department of Justice forms the basis of this study of the ethno-genesis of the mixed-ancestry population of central British Columbia.1 To understand the parameters of this research, some background regarding the 2003 R. v. Powley decision in the Supreme Court of Canada is necessary. The Court ruled that Steve and Roddy Powley, two mixed-ancestry men from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, qualified for Métis status. They thus enjoyed a constitutionally protected right to hunt for food under s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.2 In its decision, the Court also set out the criteria that succeeding mixed-ancestry applicants must meet to similarly qualify for Métis status. One important criterion was that Métis Aboriginal rights rest in the existence of a historic, self- 1 For a summary of some of these legal and political issues, see Jean Barman and Mike Evans, “Reflections on Being, and Becoming, Métis in British Columbia,” BC Studies 161 (Spring 2009): 59-91. New Caledonia is the region chosen by Barman and Evans in their attempt to show that a Métis community developed in British Columbia.

These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations have used these .rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws. Although each report in this series is as different as the waterway it describes, there is a common structural approach to each paper. Each report describes the establishment of Indian eserves along the river; what Licences of Occupation were issued; what instructions were given to surveyors laying out these reserves; how each surveyor laid out each reserve based on his field notes and survey plan; what, if any, fishing rights were considered for the Indian Bands; and how the Indian and non-native populations have used the waterway over the past centuries for both commercial and recreational use.
