Phone: 250-358-7796; email: [email protected] and First Nations cultural/heritage research: Linda Smith, MSc, & Alice William GIS mapping by Baden Cross, Applied Conservation GIS Corridor modeling by Dr. Lance Craighead, Craighead Research Institute ii LEGAL COVENANT FROM THE XENI GWET’IN GOVERNMENT When the draft of this report was completed in March 2014, the following legal covenant was included: The Tsilhqot'in have met the test for aboriginal title in the lands described in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia 2007 BCSC 1700 (“Tsilhqot’in Nation”). Tsilhqot’in Nation (Vickers J, 2007) also recognized the Tsilhqot’in aboriginal right to hunt and trap birds and animals for the purposes of securing animals for work and transportation, food, clothing, shelter, mats, blankets, and crafts, as well as for spiritual, ceremonial, and cultural uses throughout the Brittany Triangle (Tachelach’ed) and the Xeni Gwet’in Trapline. This right is inclusive of a right to capture and use horses for transportation and work. The Court found that the Tsilhqot’in people also have an aboriginal right to trade in skins and pelts as a means of securing a moderate livelihood. These lands are within the Tsilhqot'in traditional territory, the Xeni Gwet'in First Nation’s caretaking area, and partially in the Yunesit’in Government’s caretaking area.

    Doug Wilson’s - Submission to the New Prosperity Mine Review 21 September 2012 Douglas W. Wilson September 21, 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 22nd Floor, Place Bell 160 Elgin Street Ottawa ON K1A 0H3 Dear Commission Re: Submission Regarding the New Prosperity Mine Project Although retired, as a long term resident of the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia I have a great interest in the economic opportunities that the development of the New Prosperity Mine would have within the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast area of British Columbia. I see this mine development providing long term employment directly and indirectly for hundreds and possibly thousands. While I support the New Prosperity project, I believe it is our responsibility as Canadians to insure that such development meets and maintains stringent environmental standards. If these standards can be maintained and enforced, couple this with the actual record of Taseko Mines, and the Gibraltar/ McLeese Lake operation, in existence since the early 1970’s, Taseko Mines have shown great respect for the environment, and it is with this experience also coupled with Federal and Provincial environmental regulations that I support the development of the New Prosperity Mine Development. Regarding those that are against the development of this mine, I find the people called Xeni Gwet’in and the people called Chilcotin to be truly wonderful people with reasonable dreams and aspirations. It is cultural differences and community life styles where conflict seems to rest between dreams and aspirations. The world is in a continual state of change young Xeni Gwet’in and Chilcotin native people; in an increasing awareness of the things of the world are also having an increasing desire to have the things of the world.

  • Review of Taseko's Eis Concerning Grizzly Bears
    AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DOCUMENTS FOR THE PROSPERITY MINE [TERRESTRIAL/WILDLIFE COMPONENT] April 30 draft, 2010 (Maps to be added) Wayne P. McCrory, RPBio McCrory Wildlife Services Box 479, New Denver, British Columbia, V0G 1S0 Phone (250) 358-7796 email:[email protected] 2 REVIEW OF TASEKO’S EIS CONCERNING GRIZZLY BEARS, OTHER WILDLIFE, PLUS COMMENTS ON EFFECTS MINE DEVELOPMENT ON WILD HORSES & ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF PROTECTED AREAS [Note: This draft review is a revised copy of the original draft submitted to the panel on April 16. Considerable information has been added and some revisions made. Methods & approach & relevant maps are included in my April 29 Powerpoint Presentation to the Federal Panel, a digital copy of which was provided to the panel and will not be included in this technical background document to my Powerpoint. Wayne McCrory, RPBio.] COVENANT: My review partly focuses on the impacts of access. At the April 29 hearing, I requested of Taseko documentation of the current vehicle use of the Taseko/Whitewater Road of 50 return trips (= 100 vpd) but they were unable to quantify this or name the source. As well, when asked as to what standards Taseko would be up-grading the Taseko/Whitewater road they were unable to provide any information other than to state that this would be left to the BC Ministry of Transportation. I requested of the Panel that they consider the Taseko EIS deficient in this regards until this information is forthcoming. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY My review, using extensive local knowledge and research on wildlife habitats, 40 years of grizzly bear/wildlife expertise combined with a conservation biology and cumulative effects literature review including mine-grizzly bear case history studies, concludes that the Taseko EIS for the proposed Prosperity Mine significantly undervalues the environmental impacts of the mine development on grizzly bears and other wildlife.

  • Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal
    Tk< Varsity Outdoor Club Journal VULUMC AAV lyOil ISSN 0524-5613 Tfo Umveuihj of fy&Uk Columbia Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT STUDLY'S MESSAGE This year I've come across many names of old members of the past sixty years whose exploits in the mountains and elsewhere are well known. This is indicative of the vast history of the club, a history reflected in all aspects of club life, from the traditional trips to the Salty Dog Rag. This is the twenty-fifth year that the club has chosen to put down a part of that history in print and this issue should serve as a reminder to all members of the wealth of experiences inherent in the club. The journal however, as a permanent record of the club, is worthy of far more attention than it receives. This may be due partly to the character­ istic low profile that it has had with respect to both design and circulation. I hope therefore that the efforts and results of this year's journal committee set a standard to be repeated every year and not just every twenty- f i ve. This year, with almost three hundred members in the club, there has been a growth in popularity in the regular events as well as several exciting new projects. The rock school was a great success, with just under a hundred participants and much snow and ice expertise was passed on in three glacier schools. The highlights of the year though, were two slightly more tangible out­ lets of expertise and enthusiasm.
