  • Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
    NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND EXPLORATION GEOSCIENCE PROJECT In July 2012, Geoscience BC, together with the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), committed to spend up to $930,000 on the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. The project area includes the communities of Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice, Sayward, Zeballos and Camp- bell River. The goal of the project is to attract mineral exploration interest and investment to Northern Vancouver Island through a better understanding of the area’s geology and mineral potential. The project is also working with partners to deliver information on geoscience, mineral exploration and mining to local First Nations and communities through interactive workshops and information sessions. To achieve the goals of attracting investment and creating new employment opportunities on the island, the project is generating new geoscience data for the area, including an airborne magnetic geophysical survey and a regional stream sediment geochemical sampling and reanalysis program. The airborne survey was fl own in the summer of 2012, and the data were re- leased in January 2013 at the Mineral Exploration Roundup conference in Van- couver. The data reveal magnetic variations in the earth’s surface and help ge- ologists better understand the geology of the area. The results also help the mineral exploration industry identify targets for further investigation. The regional geochemical program consists of two parts: 1) the reanalysis of over 400 till samples collected by the BC Geological Survey in the early to mid- Stream Sediment Sampling, North Vancou- ver Island. 1990s, and; 2) collection of over 700 new stream sediment and moss mat sam- Photo courtesy of Wayne Jackaman ples in fall 2012.

  • Wong Toy & Frank Wong — Alert
    Archive Package: 1923–1946 (Exclusion Act) Story Sheet: Wong Toy & Frank Wong – Alert Bay Frank Wong was born in 1916, in Chinatown, in Vancouver. At the time, Chinese were restricted to living in Chinatown. They were not allowed to live outside of Chinatown. His father, Wong Toy, had a pawn shop, and they lived there. In 1934, the Wong family was looking to escape poor conditions during the Depression. When a friend of his father’s offered them property in Alert Bay to open a store, the family moved. Frank was 14. At the time, Frank recalls that the population of the town of Alert Bay was mostly Caucasian, with one Japanese family, who were ship builders—and three Chinese Families. The Long Chong family ran a general store too… “like a competitor,” Frank jokes, about the shop right across the street, and the Dong family. There were a few single Chinese men—who were unable to bring wives from China during the exclusion period—a shoemaker, and another single man running a laundry, and a cook in the cannery. Wong Toy decided to open a cafe, but the Depression meant that not many people had the means to eat out. Wong turned the cafe into a grocery store. The store also sold shoes, loggers’ boots, supplies for fishing boats, and hardware items. The family lived on the top floor, above the store. Frank and his brother built a shower room that was used by the fishermen, who would come in on Friday and leave on Sunday. Frank’s first impression of the small village on Cormorant Island, across from Port McNeil on Vancouver Island, was that everyone was friendly.
