  • Published by the Forest History Association of British Columbia N O
    Published by the Forest History Association of British Columbia No. 68 Victoria, British Columbia November 2002 CUTTING UP THE FAR NORTH By John Parminter The early economies of northern B.C. were based on fur and gold, as witnessed by the Hudson's Bay Company establishing trading posts near what is now Fort Nelson in 1805 and at Lower Post, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek by the mid-1800s. Other than the First Nations peoples, relatively few ventured through the far north except to explore, trap, prospect and sometimes homestead. Gold was discovered in 1873 in the Dease Lake area and this attracted the first significant wave of outsiders. The first concentrated utilization of B.C.’s northern forests resulted from the Yukon gold rush of 1897 - 1898 when tens of thousands of treasure seekers headed for the Klondike. The majority of those who made it over the Coast Mountains in the fall of 1897 overwintered alongside Lindeman Lake and Bennett Lake, in that odd chunk of B.C. between the Alaska panhandle to the south and the Yukon border to the north. Recycled paper 2 Starting at tidewater in Dyea, Alaska, the Chilkoot Trail ended at Lindeman Lake and the White Pass Trail from Skagway, Alaska ended further downstream at Bennett Lake. A community of more than 30 000 people was soon established and strung out for 96 km from Lindeman City, B.C. to Tagish, Yukon. This throng occupied the largest tent city in the world and since the area was at the headwaters of the Yukon River, the most important item on everyone’s agenda was construction of a craft with which to float downriver to the goldfields in the spring of 1898.

  • Notes for a Speech by Michel Roy Chair of the Board at the 2016 Annual Public Assembly November 30, 2016 Vancouver
    NOTES FOR A SPEECH BY MICHEL ROY CHAIR OF THE BOARD AT THE 2016 ANNUAL PUBLIC ASSEMBLY NOVEMBER 30, 2016 VANCOUVER CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Thank you, Jacqueline. Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, dear industry colleagues, and hello to all the Telefilm employees across the country watching us on Facebook. I would like to thank the Vancouver International Film Festival for hosting us today in this terrific theatre. It’s a pleasure for us to meet you here in this city that has been aptly dubbed Hollywood North. Our Annual Public Assembly is an opportunity to report on our work and to continue our dialogue with all our partners. We’ll talk to you this morning about vision, achievements, but also about memories, since 2017 will mark the 50th anniversary of Telefilm. And Carolle Brabant will then comment on the results of fiscal 2015-2016 as indicated in the annual report that we are launching today under the title Celebrating 50 years of talent. Although Telefilm’s creation dates back to 1967, filmmakers organized the very first Canadian film gala, the Canadian Film Awards, in 1949. The third edition of these awards was hosted by none other than “America’s Sweetheart,” Canadian Mary Pickford. All of this augured well, but we would have to wait another 10 years before the vision of a true Canadian film industry was born. The great visionary John Grierson, founder of the National Film Board of Canada, and Michael Spencer, the NFB’s Director of Planning, both of British origin, were very impressed by the creativity of our people.

With sandy brick walls and wooden-beamed high ceilings, the interior is late 1970s, early 1980s funky—the kind of space many film companies rented during "the bad old tax-shelter days," when the industry was wild with the possibilities and shame of the phenomenon known as Hollywood North.
