Texada Island Hikes & Walks
Welcome to Texada Island! There are a myriad of hiking and walking opportunities here, including Maps up to mountaintops, through mossy old-growth for- Inside est, along shorelines, through wetlands, and along lakes and creeks. There is something for every age and ability. Most trails are only lightly used; you’ll of- ten have the trail all to yourself. And there are (usually) no bears, cougars or wolves on Texada Is- land, so you can hike worry-free. The trails in this brochure are all on Crown land, with the exception of two trails which are on qathet Regional District property (Emily Lake Trail and Shelter Point Nature Trail), and the Sanderson Trail. All trails have been created and flagged by vol- unteers. Trailheads are marked by a sign, a rock cairn, and/or flagging tape. The Emily Lake Trail and Shelter Point Nature Trail are regularly maintained, while all other trails are irregularly maintained only by hikers themselves. These latter trails may involve climbing over and under fallen trees. Avoid tripping over roots, rock outcrops and fallen branches. Feel free to move a few branches off the trail as you pass by.

Public Participation and Rural Planning: Texada Island, a Case Study
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND RURAL PLANNING: TEXADA ISLAND, A CASE STUDY by ROBERT MCWILLIAM B.A. (Hons), University Of Calgary, 1972 M.A., McMaster University, 1973 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES School Of Community And Regional Planning We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 1985 © Robert McWilliam, 1985 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of School Of Community And Regional Planning The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: April 1985 i i Abstract This thesis examines various approaches to public participation within rural planning. It deals with the roles rural residents, in unincorporated areas of British Columbia, can play in local planning. The thesis argues that effective planning in such areas only occurs if a rural planning approach, which considers distinctive rural characteristics, is. applied to the planning process. Such planning generally requires the active involvement of rural people. To accomplish this objective a model is constructed of how rural residents participate in planning. -

This bulletinincludes reports of surveys of most of the knowncommercial or potentiallycommercial calcareous depositsreadily accessible tothe industrial and agricultural areas of south-western British Columbia and north-western Washington. Limestone deposits on the west coast of Vancouver Island and on the inland passage north of the difficultly navigable waters of Seymour Narrows, OkisolloChannel, and Yuculta Rapids have not, however, been examined. Deposits more than 4 or 5 miles from tide-water have likewise been omitted from the study, except in the eastern part of the Fraser Valley and in the western part of the Cascade Range of Washington whereadequate road 01- railtransportation is available. Unconsolidated calcareous deposits, marl, travertine, and shell, which are of someeconomic importance within this area, have been included in the study. Three introductory chapters dealing with the geology, extraction and utilization, and examination of these western limestone deposits have been included in this bulletin to aid in the appreciation of the reports on individual properties. Three months of the summer of 1944 were devoted to field-work on Texada Island, andtwo months of the summer of 1945 to field-work on VancouverIsland and the Lower Mainland. -
