I £ C I e n C ^ The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 ABSTRACT The thesis is primarily an attempt to provide a better understanding on how territorial conflicts influenced infrastructural development in British Columbia between the years 1952 and 1972. Primary emphasis is placed upon exploring the territorial component of province-building in British Columbia. The major theme which emerges is that the spatial pattern of economic development witnessed in the province during these years was not merely the product of societal pressure, but instead, reflected the dreams, and ambitions of the W.A.C.

    Laying the Golden Egg: The Coalition Government's Role in Post-war Northern Development JOHN R. WEDLEY A major source of British Columbia's economic growth after World War II was the expansion of resource industries into the territory lying north of the 53rd parallel. New mines, sawmills, pulp and paper plants, petro­ leum and natural gas operations, and huge hydro-electric power projects were established in northern B.C. during the three decades after 1945. Their development was fuelled mainly by economic conditions (receptive markets and high resource prices) and technological improvements that made northern resource use more viable than before. But northward indus­ trial expansion was also greatly facilitated and guided by provincial govern­ ment policies and promotional incentives. The governments of the post­ war period in B.C., perceiving great economic, social, and political benefits that might be gained from northern development, took the lead in promoting and assisting new industrial activity on the northern frontier. By providing infrastructure (mainly transportation and hydro facilities) and framing resource regulation and management policies that would encourage companies to enter the north and utilize its rich potential, they did much to stimulate interest and investment in the region and to shape the economic development that unfolded in northern British Columbia throughout those expansionary years.1 The first post-war government to undertake the challenge of promoting new economic activity in northern B.C. was the Liberal-Conservative coalition administration that ran the province from 1941 to 1952. Led by Premier John Hart and, after 1947, by Premier Byron (Boss) Johnson, the Coalition government worked diligently to foster northern resource use and transportation development throughout its term in office.
