  • Eco-Cultural Restoration of Wetlands at Tl'chés (Chatham Islands), British
    Eco-Cultural Restoration of Wetlands at Tl’chés (Chatham Islands), British Columbia, Canada by Graham Roy Nicholas B.Sc., British Columbia Institute of Technology, 2015 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Ecological Restoration Program Faculty of Environment (SFU) and School of Construction and the Environment (BCIT) © Graham Roy Nicholas SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY BRITISH COLUMBIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. ii Approv Ethics Statement iii Abstract My research project examined the restoration possibilities for two culturally important wetland ecosystems at Tl’chés (Chatham Islands, British Columbia, Canada). The first wetland is a sacred bathing pool and holds cultural significance, the second is a remnant silverweed and springbank clover (Potentilla anserine ssp. pacifica and Trifollium wormskjoldii) root garden. These wetlands are necessary ecosystems for the wildlife on Tl’chés as wetlands are rare, but also an integral part of Songhees’ cultural practices. My work was done at the invitation from elder Súlhlima (Joan Morris) who was one of the last resident of the islands and retains hereditary rights there, and Songhees Chief Ron Sam and band council. The goal of my project was to develop a restoration plan to restore the wetlands to pre-abandonment conditions, so cultural practices can continue, and to benefit the islands native plant and animal species. The project highlights the value of combining traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and traditional resource and environmental management (TREM) practices with ecological restoration.

  • Cortes Island Community Broadband Plan About Cortes Island
    CORTES ISLAND COMMUNITY BROADBAND PLAN ABOUT CORTES ISLAND Cortes Island is approximately 25 km long and 13 km wide, situated at the northern end of the Salish Sea (Strait of Georgia), between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland. Accessible via a 40-minute ferry ride from Quadra Island and a shorter 10 minute ferry crossing from the City of Campbell River. Like many other west coast communities, Cortes Island was inhabited by Indigenous peoples prior to colonization. Coast Salish people made use of Cortes Island for thousands of years, but a smallpox epidemic decimated the population in the late 1700’s. Today, the Klahoose First Nation live at Squirrel Cove. The Indigenous comprise of 7.0% of Cortes Island’s total population.1, 2 The island currently has about 1,035 full-time residents, and most live on the southern portion. The largest age cohort on Cortes Island is 15-64 years old and they comprise 58.9% of the population. The remainder of the population is comprised of seniors (28.0%), children 14 years old and younger (13.1%) and the median age of the population is 53.5 years.1 The population increases in the summer, as Cortes hosts about 3,000 people per day. 3 Cortes Island is a member of the Strathcona Regional District’s Area B. The median value of a home is $300,973 with a $383 median monthly cost of home ownership. Median monthly cost is the total cost for a mortgage, property taxes, and the cost of electricity, heat, water, and other municipal services.
