    Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch 2006-2007 DirectoryA guide to community involvement, stewardship, Streamkeepers, and education projects in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory Published by Community Involvement Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch Fisheries and Oceans Canada Suite 200 – 401 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3S4 Dear Stewardship Community, This edition of the Stewardship and Community Involvement directory marks our 15th year of publication. We believe this is a useful reference tool, providing a summary of the numerous community-based projects and activities that partner with Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Community Programs. This edition is organized by geographic areas to reflect the area-based management model which Fisheries and Oceans Canada has implemented in the Pacific Region. The future of our world depends upon educating children and young adults. The Stream to Sea education program is strongly supported throughout Pacific Region, with involvement of over 25 part and full-time Education Coordinators, 18 Community Advisors and many educational professionals and volunteers supporting the program. The Stream to Sea program combines oceans and aquatic species education and lessons on marine and freshwater habitat to create a stewardship ethic. The ultimate goal is to have students become aquatic stewards, caring for the environment around them. The Community Advisors dedicate their mission statement to the volunteers and community projects: “Fostering cooperative fisheries and watershed stewardship through education and involvement”. Our Community Advisors work alongside the stewardship community, building partnerships within community. From assisting with mini hatchery programs, policy implementation, to taking an active role in oceans and watershed planning, these staff members are the public face of DFO.

  • BCHFS 2019 Annual Report
    BC HERITAGE FAIRS SOCIETY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT PROVINCIAL FAIR PARTICIPANTS AT GOLDSTREAM PROVINCIAL PARK, JULY 4, 2019 BC HERITAGE FAIRS SOCIETY | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 1 Message from the Executive Evan Fryer, BCHFS Vice-President As a current educator in BC schools, I am consistently presented with the following quote at professional devel- opment workshops across the province: We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet – Richard Riley. The solution, more often than not, is to invest in STEM skills: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathemat- ics. There is no doubt that these skills are important, but the notion that content is the only means to growth is misguided. The skills needed to solve some of the world’s biggest issues today, such as the climate crisis, will require many intangible skills that can’t be summed up in a 4-letter acronym. The students of tomorrow need to develop these personal and social competencies that are often intangible. Heritage Fairs are the perfect playground for these young ambassadors of knowledge to explore the past, ask questions, and make progress for the future. In this regard, the BC Heritage Fairs Society (BCHFS) strives to: encourage young people to develop their own opinions and values based on a respect for evidence; provide opportunities for young people to see history around them; promote an appreciation of the diverse experiences of people in the past; connect local and family stories to the larger narratives of Canada’s history; develop ap- proaches to teaching and learning that combine enjoyment and active engagement in historical thinking; forge connections between youth and the community; encourage student leadership; and, develop informed and involved citizens of tomorrow.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
