NTV-Visitor-Guide.Pdf 1 SIMPCW “People of the North Thompson River” The Simpcw are a Culturally Proud Community Valuing Healthy, Holistic Lifestyles based upon Respect, Responsibility and Continuous Participation in Growth and Education Since time immemorial the Simpcw occupied the lands of the North Thompson River upstream from McLure to the headwaters of the Fraser River from McBride to Tete Jeune Cache, east to Jasper and south to the headwaters of the Athabasca River. The Simpcw are a division of the Secwepemc, or Shuswap. The Simpcw speak the Secwepemc dialect, a SalishanSalis language, shared among many of the First Nations in the FraserFr and Thompson River drainage. The Simpcw traveled throughoutthrou the spring, summer and fall, gathering food and materialsmate which sustained them through the winter. During the winterwin months they assembled at village sites, in the valleys close to rivers, occupying semi-underground houses. Archaeological studiesst have identifi ed winter home sites and underground foodfo cache sites at a variety of locations including Finn Creek, Vavenby,V Birch Island, Chu Chua, Barriere River, Louis Creek, Tete Jeune, Raush River, Jasper National Park and Robson Park. Simpcw peoplepe value their positive relationships with non-native people in thethe NorthNorth ThompsonThomp and Robson Valleys. They also recognize that their key strength lies in maintaining links to their traditional heritage and look forward to securing a place for their children in contemporary society that they can embrace with pride. The Simpcw culture is community driven for the management, conservation and protection of all the Creator’s resources. Box 220, Barriere, B.C.

  • Canadian Airmen Lost in Wwii by Date 1943
    CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm).

  • Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – January 1St, 2021
    Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – January 1st, 2021 The January 1st snow survey is now complete. Data from 58 manual snow courses and 86 automated snow weather stations around the province (collected by the Ministry of Environment Snow Survey Program, BC Hydro and partners), and climate data from Environment and Climate Change Canada and the provincial Climate Related Monitoring Program have been used to form the basis of the following report1. Weather October began with relatively warm and dry conditions, but a major cold spell dominated the province in mid-October. Temperatures primarily ranged from -1.5 to +1.0˚C compared to normal. The cold spell also produced early season low elevation snowfall for the Interior. Following the snowfall, heavy rain from an atmospheric river affected the Central Coast and spilled into the Cariboo, resulting in prolonged flood conditions. Overall, most of the Interior received above normal precipitation for the month, whereas coastal regions were closer to normal. In November, temperatures were steady at near normal to slightly above normal and primarily ranged from -0.5 to +1.5˚C through the province. The warmest temperatures relative to normal occurred in the Interior, while the coldest occurred in the Northwest. Precipitation was mostly below normal to near normal (35-105%) with the Northeast / Peace as the driest areas. A few locations, e.g. Prince Rupert and Williams Lake, were above 130% due to a strong storm event early in the month. Temperatures in December were relatively warm across the province, ranging from +1.0 to +5.0˚C above normal.

  • Adams River As a Heritage River.Pdf
    Draft Nomination Document for the Adams River As a Canadian Heritage River Prepared for B.C. Ministry of Environment By Cal-Eco Consultants Ltd. March 31, 2006 Version 1.2 1 The Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) is Canada's national river conservation system, aimed at promoting, protecting and enhancing Canada's river heritage. The system has been established by the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments for the purpose of recognizing outstanding rivers of Canada, and ensuring future management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for the long term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. The CHRS operates under a charter that describes rivers as "0 priceless olld irreplaceoblepart of our 1I0lio1101 heriloge olld idmti!j'. In British Columbia, the Fraser, Kickinghorse and Cowichan Rivers have been designated as Heritage Rivers under the CHRS. To qualify for inclusion in the CHRS, a river (or section of river) must be of outstanding significance in one or more areas: natural heritage, human heritage, or recreational values. The process of nominating a Canadian Heritage River requires an assessment of a river's natural, cultural and recreational values against criteria set out by the CHRS. While the CHRS is administered by the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board, a fundamental ptinciple of the system is that it depends on voluntary participation, parmership, cooperation and community involvement. The CHRS has no legislative authority, and as such, Local, Provincial

  • Kamloops TSA - Forest Health Strategy
    Kamloops TSA - Forest Health Strategy Thompson Rivers Forest District April 2017 Executive Summary The Kamloops TSA Forest Health Strategy has for the most part not been changed for this year. There have been minor edits, as well as some additions. It is expected that over the next few years, that there will be more information added with respect to; Stand Establishment Decision Aids, strategies for pests in young stands, stocking standards related to forest health factors and climate change adaptation strategies. The changes of note this year are: • New Root disease guidance Document Update on Bark Beetles in Kamloops TSA: • Areas affected by Western balsam bark beetle have dropped to less than half of 2016 levels resulting in 59,730 hectares infested. The decline is due to lower red attack rates, with stands in the northern portion of the TSA, around Dunn Peak, Trophy Mountain, and Wells gray Park and the upper North Thompson being the most affected. • Spruce beetle – attack levels remain high, with 9,770 hectares identified, the largest new infestation moving into uninfested stands in Wells Gray Park around Kostal Lake, McDougall Lake, and the west arm of Murtle Lake, Angus Horn Creek and the Upper Clearwater River. • Douglas fir beetle – the area affected by Douglas fir beetle more than doubled, to 3,100 hectares in 362 patches and 1,290 smaller spot infestations. The attack is widespread across the southern portion of the TSA with significant red attack in the Wells Gray Park, Barriere River, Adams Lake and Pinantan Lake areas. Douglas fir beetle is anticipated to build in fire damaged trees along the margins of the Elephant Hill, Thuya Lakes and Dunn Lake fires where there is variable burn severity and low intensity ground fires.
