  • District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
    District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Report for : District of Elkford, B.C., Canada Developed by: Karen Gorecki BSc, MPP Megan Walsh, BSc Env, MSc Env Mgmt. (2010) and Jeff Zukiwsky BTM, MRM Planning (2009) Executive Summary For several years, the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has been spearheading research on climate impacts in the Columbia Basin, supported by a team of scientists and planners, and in partnership with the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC). The CBT observed that the impacts of climate change, and the vulnerability of communities to change, varied throughout the Basin. In 2008, the CBT recognized the need to support communities in identifying localized climate change projections and vulnerabilities, and in creating adaptation plans that would allow those communities to prepare for a much different future. The District of Elkford was one of two communities chosen to participate in Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change (CACC) initiative. For the District of Elkford, this initiative was integrated into an Official Community Plan (OCP) revision, which was to be completed ‘through a climate change lens.’ With support from PCIC, the Communities Adapting to Climate Change team (comprised of Karen Gorecki, Megan Walsh and Jeff Zukiwsky) developed a process that emphasized community and staff engagement, and the pairing of local knowledge with scientific data and projections to determine areas of priority for further climate impact research. Initial open houses revealed strong community concern for issues such as wildfire, road maintenance, stormwater management and water quality. The CACC research team used the public input and best available science to focus in on three priority areas: Wildfire, Flooding and Water Supply.

  • Amenity Migration and the Growing Pains of Western Canadian Mountain Towns
    The Search for Paradise: Amenity migration and the growing pains of western Canadian mountain towns Presented at the Canadian Political Science Association Vancouver, British Columbia, June 2008 Lorna Stefanick Associate Professor, Athabasca University [email protected] Migration is not a new phenomenon, it has been happening since the dawn of human history. What is new is that toward the end of the 2nd millennium the motivation for this migration changed. In the past people moved primarily in search of food, or later, for economic reasons. Now there is a significant movement of people occurring because of a desire to attain a particular lifestyle: migrants are seeking a particular environment and a differentiated culture associated with rural areas, and in particular, rural areas located in coastal or mountain regions. This movement of humans to smaller communities in rural areas is referred to as “amenity migration,” a phenomenon that stands in sharp contrast the rapid urbanization and suburbanization that occurred in the 20th century. The amenity migration phenomenon is happening worldwide, and as a result of globalization and internationalization the migration is also happening across national boundaries. Amenity migration is having a profound impact on previously remote communities, many of which were in economic decline. In North America, research on amenity migration has focused primarily on the western USA, especially the movement of urbanites to rural communities in the Rocky Mountains. Comparatively little work has been done in Canada. While the effects of amenity migration might be less pronounced in this country, it is beginning to create huge challenges for communities in the mountains of western Canada.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, coal development in this area resulted in the creation of three small communities known as Michel, Natal and Sparwood, respectively. The former two communities were in the immediate area of the coal mines and the latter, Sparwood, was a few miles removed.. By 1966, the Village of Natal and the settlement of Michel had become adversely affected by coal dust. There was no regulatory legislation to protect the public. The Village of Natal, in cooperation with the Provincial and Federal Governments, entered into an Urban Renewal and Land Assembly program, which eventually resulted in the townspeople of Natal and Michel moving to, and expanding, Sparwood.
