BACKGROUND Reason for Report: The Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank "Duck Race" fundraiser is held annually on July 1st, at the Civic Centre creek side parking lot in order to enable the event to accommodate as many people as possible. The race has been done in past by volunteer bases. With the loss of the volunteer bases for this event, the Duck Race organizers would like the City of Kimberley to provide a way of capturing the ducks in a safe manner in the same location and at the same time of year as it has been done in the past. The Duck Race organizers have also asked the City to find the volunteers needed to collect the ducks. This fundraiser is in support of the food bank and is one of their biggest fundraisers. Summary of Issue: From the Operation Departments point of view, there is too much risk in the way the ducks are collected, the time of year that the race is held (high water), as well as the location (steep banks). The Risk is unacceptable. Possible solutions would be to move the location or change the event date to correspond with lower water flow. The City of Kimberley does not solicit employees to volunteer for non-profit organization events. If an employee wishes to volunteer, they can do so on their own. The Operations Department has worked with organizations in the past to make sure an event is successful. The Operations Department can do this if risk is negotiable and council supports the funds. ANALYSIS Financial Implications: Depends on the role of City. Page 10 of 107 SUMMARY Possible options; 1. The City could take on the responsibility for this event 2. The City would have no involvement with this event 3. The City could meet with the organizers of the event to discuss a possible new location, a new event date or both, providing the event meets the risk mitigation requirements Submitted by: Original signed by Reviewed by: Original signed by Mike Fox Scott Sommerville Manager, Operations & CAO Environment Services Page 11 of 107 CITY OF KIMBERLEY REPORT TO OPERATIONS COMMITTEE Item: RPT - 0087 File: Watersheds 2014 Forum FROM: Mike Fox DATE: February 5, 2014 SUBJECT: Report on Watershed Forum January 27-29, 2014 MEETING: Operations Committee RECOMMENDATION Recommend that the Watersheds 2014 Readings and Research Package be received for information purposes.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.

  • The Form and Function of Nativized Names in Hul'q'umi'num'1 Donna B
    The form and function of nativized names in Hul’q’umi’num’1 Donna B. Gerdts Ruby M. Peter Simon Fraser University Quamichan First Nation A prevalent practice among the speakers of Hul’q’umi’num’ in the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries was to create a nickname for a person by nativizing his/her English name. Nativized names show the same sort of accommodation to Hul’q’umi’num’ phonology and morphology as seen in other loanwords. Sociolinguistically, the use of nicknames contributed to group cohesion by giving an affectionate way to refer to friends and relatives that was different from the legal name used by outsiders. 1 Hul’q’umi’num’ nicknames The Hul’q’umi’num’, like other Coast Salish people, receive native names bestowed upon them ceremonially in a potlatch (French and French 1996, Suttles 2004:318–319). These native names come from a pool of treasured names shared throughout the region (Kennedy 2000, Grant et al. 2004). However, native people also have a white man-style name. As was common practice throughout North America, colonial authorities assigned names of European origin to First Nations people of British Columbia. Names usually consisted of two parts: a given name from a rather large stock of names, and a surname from a rather small stock of names, many of which predominantly occur as given names in the non-native population. From the perspective of the European authorities, the names were regarded as simple. However, the colonial system was less than optimal from the native viewpoint because the names usually contained phonological elements that were foreign to Salish speakers.
