This document replaces the Monashee Provincial Park Master Plan (1993). Monashee Park Management Plan Approved by: October 1st, 2014 ____________________________ __________________ John Trewhitt Date A/Regional Director, Kootenay Okanagan BC Parks October 1st, 2014 ______________________________ __________________ Brian Bawtinheimer Date Executive Director, Parks Planning and Management Branch BC Parks Acknowledgements BC Parks is greatly indebted to visionaries such as Bob Ahrens, Ken and Una Dobson, Mike and Jean Freeman, Doug and Nesta Kermode, Paddy Mackie, Sid Draper, George Falconer, E.G. Oldham, R. Broadland, C.D. ‘Bill’ Osborne and early members of the North Okanagan Naturalists Club. In the 1950s and 60s much of the early groundwork for the establishment of the park was made by these individuals. Special acknowledgement is owed also to Ernest Laviolette, Eugene Foisy and Charlie Foisy. Their wilderness adventure over several months one summer in the 1960s was captured on the film “The Call of the Monashee”. This film, and the publicity it created, was another pivotal component towards the protection of this spectacular wilderness area for future generations. The Friends of Monashee Park and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee were instrumental in providing information on community interests and history within the park as were current members of the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, notably Kay Bartholomew and Pamela Jenkins. Dale Kermode provided invaluable historical photos of his late father’s (Doug Kermode) early explorations in the park.

    CORPORATE STRATEGY 2020–2023 Kamloops OPENING MESSAGES New Denver Hon. Lisa Beare Message from the Minister Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture of Tourism, Arts and Culture A flourishing tourism industry is important to every part of our province, and benefits all British Columbians.

  • MAKING MEANING out of MOUNTAINS: SKIING, the ENVIRONMENT and ECO-POLITICS by MARK CHRISTOPHER JOHN STODDART M.A., University Of
    MAKING MEANING OUT OF MOUNTAINS: SKIING, THE ENVIRONMENT AND ECO-POLITICS by MARK CHRISTOPHER JOHN STODDART M.A., University of Victoria, 2004 B.A., Athabasca University, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2008 © Mark Christopher John Stoddart 2008 ii Abstract This research provides a sociological analysis of skiing as a form of outdoor recreation and nature tourism in British Columbia, Canada. A qualitative multi-method approach is used, combining discourse analysis, interviews with skiers, and unobtrusive field observation at Whistler Blackcomb and Whitewater ski resorts. Through a focus on discourse, embodied interactions among humans and non-humans, and flows of power, this research describes an environmental ambiguity at the centre of skiing. There is a tension between interpretations of skiing as an environmentally-sustainable practice and notions of skiing as an environmental and social problem. Skiing is based on the symbolic consumption of nature and is understood by many participants as a way of entering into a meaningful relationship with the non-human environment. However, interpretations of skiing as a non-consumptive use of non-human nature are too simple. Social movement groups disrupt pro-environmental discourses of skiing by challenging the sport’s ecological and social legitimacy. Many skiers also articulate a self- reflexive environmental critique of their sport. In these instances, skiing is brought into the realm of politics. Recreational forms of interaction with the non-human environment tend to be at the periphery of environmental sociology.

  • Appendix C: List of Other Park Systems
    APPENDIX C LIST OF OTHER PARK SYSTEMS WITHIN THE PRRD The PRRD is well served with parks of various kinds and levels within its boundaries. Although there are no national parks within the PRRD, there is an abundance of provincial parks, protected areas and ecological reserves. The PRRD encompasses a portion of one of the largest Forest Districts in the province, the Fort St John Forest District which itself has an area of approximately 4.6 million hectares. The large size is as a result of the amount of crown land in the district area. The result of all of this open space area is that when compared to other regional districts across the province the PRRD comes out well especially when regional population densities are considered. As compared to other Regional districts such as: Regional District of East Kootenay The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has 28 provincial parks, 2 conservancy protected areas, 1 national park, 6 wildlife management areas, 93 recreation sites, 66 recreation trails and 3 Ducks Unlimited properties within their land area of 27, 560 sq km and a population density of 2.0 based on a total population of 56,685. Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has 28 provincial parks, 1 wilderness conservancy park, 1 ecological reserve, 2 wildlife management areas, 49 recreation sites and 64 trails. The RDCK has a land area of 22,130.72 sq km and a 2011 population of 58,441 for a population density of 2.6 persons per sq km.

  • Monkman Provincial Park Tumbler Ridge, Bc
    THE STONE CORRAL INTERPRETIVE HIKING TRAIL GUIDE MONKMAN PROVINCIAL PARK TUMBLER RIDGE, BC 1 Welcome to the Stone Corral Interpretive Hiking Trail, a fascinating four kilometre hike The Stone Corral was identified in 1999 and was subsequently added to Monkman Provincial Park. This hike will take you through an amazing area featuring small caves and other limestone formations, ponds and many kinds of moving water, interesting and poisonous plants, fossils and magnificent viewpoints. Allow at least two hours for the hike and remember to bring a flashlight for the caves. The trail is strenuous with some steep sections and considerable elevation change. There are a number of high vertical cliffs: a fall would likely be fatal! The trail passes close to cliff edges, and children will require close supervision. For every two children at least one adult should be present. Make lots of noise on the trail: Black and Grizzly Bear are common in the area. After completing the trail, please consider returning this brochure to the box at the trailhead for others to enjoy. Corral Cave Entrance Porcupine Cave Exit 2 MAP 3 4 1: BEAVER DAMS A short side-trail leads down to a succession of beaver dams which have formed the lake that fills the Green Bowl upstream. Beavers create their hollow lodges by piling sticks, rocks, logs and mud to form a hollow mound. They enter their homes underwa- ter, protecting themselves from predators. You may find many signs of beaver activity along the trail, including partially gnawed trees. Black Huckleberry Red Baneberry Twistedstalk Fairybells 2: BERRIES You can find a remarkable variety of berries here in late summer and fall, including Black Huckleberry, Northern Gooseberry, Saskatoon, Wild Strawberry, Bunchberry and Soopallalie.
