  • Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
    FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam.

  • Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970S and 1980S
    Let’s Talk about Schools: Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s Robert Whiteley he last quarter of the twentieth century is widely seen as a neoliberal age. Rooted in the thought of Austrian Friedrich Hayek and the ideas of Chicago economist Milton Friedman, Tand given purchase through the policies of Ronald Reagan in the United States, Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom, and other politicians elsewhere, neoliberal, or “post liberal” (Fleming 1991), governments align themselves ideologically with the political right. They are typified by centralization of power and financial and regulatory control and anti- union legislation, accelerating fiscally conservative policies that promote the private sector and reduce state involvement in the lives of citizens. Governance in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s largely followed this model (Dyck 1986). Through privatization and deregulation, the Social Credit governments that held office through most of these years transferred much control of the province’s economy from the public to the private sector. Accompanying these measures was the neoliberal view that education is a private rather than a public good (Apple 2006). Between the mid-1970s and the rewriting of the School Act in 1989, the funding allocated to education in British Columbia declined both in dollar terms and as a percentage of provincial GDP (Bowman 1990); school boards had little decision-making authority and were increasingly required to follow government dictates. Professor of administration and sometime coordinator of political action at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Richard G. Tow nsend (1988), characterizes politics in British Columbia’s educational system during the 1970s and 1980s as “discordant” and sees it as mirroring the bipolarity in the province’s political culture.

  • From" La Plume De Ma Tante" To" Parlez-Vous Francais?" the Making
    From "La Plume de Ma Tante" to "Parlez-Vous Francais?" Page 1 of 9 Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, Issue #28, February 15, 2004. © by CJEAP and the author(s). From “La Plume de Ma Tante” to “Parlez-Vous Français?” The Making of French Language Policy in British Columbia, 1945-1982 by Helen Raptis and Thomas Fleming, University of Victoria Introduction During the first half of the twentieth century, French language instruction in British Columbia and the rest of the world focused primarily on reading and writing, with particular emphasis on developing students' skills in grammar and translation (Stern, 1986). Foreign languages, according to the logic of the time, were for reading and writing—not for communicating orally. Parisian French, rather than dialects used in Quebec and other parts of the country, provided the universal linguistic standard for instruction. Students learned by rote and, decades later, few could recall little else but hackneyed interrogatives such as "Où est la plume de ma tante?" By 1981, when education minister Brian Smith, committed the British Columbia government to multicultural education, the study of French language had shifted decisively toward oral communication using Québecois as the linguistic benchmark. With this change, "Parlez-vous français?" was transformed from a formal schoolroom question to a cultural and linguistic imperative given life by a new generation of British Columbians who clamored for French language instruction on their children’s behalf. In many instances, the public’s interest in French was considerably less educational and more political and economic in nature. By the 1980s, fluency in French had become popularly accepted as a new employment credential that promised access to federal jobs, as well as opportunities for professional mobility historically beyond the reach of many British Columbians.

  • A Tale of Two Women: Edith Lucas, Mary Ashworth, and the Changing Nature of Educational Policy in British Columbia, 1937-19771
    A Tale of Two Women: Edith Lucas, Mary Ashworth, and the Changing Nature of Educational Policy in British Columbia, 1937-19771 Helen Raptis Both Edith Lucas and Mary Ashworth were instrumental in the lives of minority learners in British Columbia between 1937 and 1988. Although their goals were similar, their professional experiences could not have been more different. Unbridled by the dictates of elected politicians from 1937 to 1963, Lucas provided teachers and students with the necessary resources and services to meet their educational needs directly. Conversely, from 1968 until the late 1970s, Ashworth spent as much of her time lobbying elected officials for adequate resources as she did working with English-as-a-second-language teachers. The professional lives of Edith Lucas and Mary Ashworth illustrate the profound shifts in educational governance and social thought – and their aftermath – that occurred in British Columbia, as elsewhere in North America, from the late 1960s onward. Edith Lucas et Mary Ashworth influèrent toutes les deux sur la vie des élèves issus des minorités de Colombie Britannique de 1937 à 1988. Bien que leurs objectifs étaient similaires, leurs expériences professionnelles n’auraient pu être plus différentes. Non assujettie aux volontés des politiciens élus durant les années 1937 à 1963, Lucas fournit aux maîtres et aux élèves les ressources et les services nécessaires pour satisfaire directement leurs besoins éducatifs. Inversement, de 1968 jusqu’à la fin de la décennie 1970, Ashworth passa autant de temps à solliciter des élus les ressources suffisantes qu’à œuvrer auprès des professeurs d’anglais langue seconde. La vie professionnelle d’Edith Lucas et de Mary Ashworth illustre les profonds changements de gestion en matière d’éducation et de pensée sociale ainsi que les conséquences qui s’ensuivirent en Colombie Britannique, comme ailleurs en Amérique du Nord, depuis la fin des années 1960.
