  • Bear Viewing Tours
    Grizzly Bears in British Columbia Located 80kms north of Campbell River in British Columbia is a wild and remote area of the Pacific Northwest known as Knight Inlet. As the longest fjord on the B.C. coast, Knight Inlet offers visitors spectacular scenery and dramatic mountain peaks. Situated 60 kms from the mouth of Knight Inlet is a floating lodge of the same name. Tucked into Glendale Cove, Knight Inlet Lodge offers one of the few protected anchorages in the inlet. During your stay you will be able to enjoy several activities which all centre on the area’s fascinating wildlife. Bear viewing is the main attraction but, depending on the nature of your itinerary and how long you choose to stay, you can also expect to see a diverse range of birdlife and marine mammals, too. This is a unique, untouched area of Canada and guests always depart with fabulous wildlife memories. The lodge is open from mid May to mid October (closed 25 – 31 July) and the minimum stay is two nights, one in Campbell River and one at Knight Inlet, although we would recommend a stay of at least three nights in order to make the most of the activities. Your Financial Protection All monies paid by you for the air holiday package shown [or flights if appropriate] are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 3145. For more information see our booking terms and conditions. Knight Inlet The lodge dates back to the 1940s when the original float housed a logging camp.

They express those connections in many different ways, including ceremonies and celebrations that can involve singing and dancing, giving thanks, feasting, gift giving, storytelling, and games. In the United States and Canada, there are more than 1,100 individual tribes—each with its own set of practices that show appreciation for the natural world and those spirits that lie within it.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • Tidally Generated Turbulence Over the Knight Inlet Sill
    MAY 2004 KLYMAK AND GREGG 1135 Tidally Generated Turbulence over the Knight Inlet Sill JODY M. KLYMAK College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon MICHAEL C. GREGG Applied Physics Laboratory and School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (Manuscript received 14 June 2002, in ®nal form 18 November 2003) ABSTRACT Very high turbulent dissipation rates (above «51024 Wkg21) were observed in the nonlinear internal lee waves that form each tide over a sill in Knight Inlet, British Columbia. This turbulence was due to both shear instabilities and the jumplike adjustment of the wave to background ¯ow conditions. Away from the sill, turbulent dissipation was signi®cantly lower («51027 to «51028 Wkg21). Energy removed from the barotropic tide was estimated using a pair of tide gauges; a peak of 20 MW occurred during spring tide. Approximately two- thirds of the barotropic energy loss radiated away as internal waves, while the remaining one-third was lost to processes near the sill. Observed dissipation in the water column does not account for the near-sill losses, but energy lost to vortex shedding and near-bottom turbulence, though not measured, could be large enough to close the energy budget. 1.
