    St. Andrews on the Square is one of Kamloops’ oldest public buildings. It dates to the early history of this city – back to 1887. In four short months, this church went from an idea and initiative to a reality. This work looks chronologically at the history of St. Andrews. Along the way, glimpses of the history of Kamloops will also unfold. From the early Presbyterian missionary years, to Reverend John Chisholm, Phil Gaglardi, and to the restorations of 1996–1998, St. Andrews is a glimpse into our rich and diverse past. In 1872 a Presbyterian minister by the name of George M. Grant visited Kamloops. At this time, Kamloops was a small village nestled along the confluence of two rivers. Kamloops had one main street, coincidently named Main Street (now called Victoria Street), and a few other buildings that were located west of what is today First Avenue. George Grant was traveling at the time with Stanford Fleming as Fleming’s personal secretary. Both men worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.). Grant conducted Presbyterian services on September 29, 1872 in the old dining room of the Hudson’s Bay Company fort – Fort Kamloops. In the years following 1872, Kamloops continued to be visited by various other Presbyterian Ministers. Their religious services were held in the old log courthouse that was located at the extreme west end of town. When a new wood framed courthouse was build in the late nineteenth century on First Avenue and Victoria Street, all religious services were moved there. Reverend George Murray was the first Presbyterian Minister to start regular meetings and services in Kamloops.

Department of Political Science The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date Jan. 161 1Q84 DE-6 (3/81) ii. ABSTRACT The nationalization of the British Columbia Electric Company by the provincial Social Credit government provides a demonstrative example of a provincial state's relative autonomy being exercised in a dynamic situation. The study examines the state's variable degree of autonomy from the ruling class in society and how it is determined by specific economic, political and social circumstances. It is argued that Social Credit, with the support of its own class base — the petit bourgeoisie, nascent regional bourgeoisie, unorganized working class and others — and the backing of the resource capital fraction of the ruling class, nationalized the economic vehicle of the investment capital fraction, the BCE, in order to further economic development in the province.

  • Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: the 1972 British Columbia Election
    POLITICAL LEGITIMACY AND REGIME CHANGE: THE 1972 BRITISH COLUMBIA ELECTION by Della Roussin B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2012 © Della Roussin, 2012 Abstract The 1972 British Columbia general election marked the end of the twenty-year dominance of the Social Credit Party and Premier W.A.C. Bennett. Dave Barrett led the New Democratic Party to its first majority government ushering in the first Social Democratic government in the province's history. The reversal of Social Credit fortunes in 1972 should not be seen, however, as a rejection of the core values of the Social Credit party, but rather as a crisis of legitimacy faced by the party and its aging leader. As a case study, the 1972 election provides an opportunity to examine the agenda-setting function of media during an election campaign and the effects of declining political legitimacy and trust on voter behaviour. ii Table of Contents Abstract.......................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ......................................................................................................................... iii Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: The 1972 British Columbia Election ................... 1 Bibliography ................................................................................................................................ 44 iii Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: The 1972 British Columbia Election On June 7, 1972, five hundred angry protesters descended on the Royal Towers Hotel in New Westminster, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver.

Primary emphasis is placed upon exploring the territorial component of province-building in British Columbia. The major theme which emerges is that the spatial pattern of economic development witnessed in the province during these years was not merely the product of societal pressure, but instead, reflected the dreams, and ambitions of the W.A.C.

  • Birth and Early Development of the B.C. Wildlife Park
    BIRTH AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE B.C. WILDLIFE PARK By John J. Moelaert (Founder) Time fades many memories, but I remember the early days of the B.C. Wildlife Park as clearly as though it happened a few years ago instead of some forty. My home was like a halfway house for animals. All kinds arrived at my doorstep before they could be accommodated at the park. Some came by plane, some by truck and not a few were put on my porch in the middle of the night by anonymous donors.... The first one was Tramp the ocelot, a pet that had become too much of a nuisance for its owners; his nocturnal nature being part of the problem. He had the run of the house. I remember waking up one morning with him nibbling at one of my fingers. It was his way of saying: it’s time for breakfast. He stayed almost a year at my home. But most popular of all the animals was Demetrius, a young moose calf that was flown from the Revelstoke area to Kamloops on orders of then Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi. He stayed in our backyard and often cooled himself off by straddling a sprinkler. On a few occasions he entered the house to enjoy a cool bath, a photo of which became a very popular postcard. Every few hours I gave him a big bottle of warm milk. Our home in the 400 block Nicola Street was across the lane from the Travelodge and many of the guests came to see Demetrius.

  • CHAPTER 4 – Roads and Highways
    CHAPTER 4 – Roads and Highways DURING THE POST First World War boom, few working people could afford to own a car and for those who could, there were few places to drive them. Such roads as governments did build were primarily to assist business, short trunk roads to open up areas for agriculture and logging, not for a travelling public. It was impossible to cross the province by road and there was only one road to the Central and Northern Interior, the Cariboo Trail, which was little better than a wagon road winding through the Fraser Canyon. Hard surface paving may have been common in town and city cores, but even the major provincial interurban roads had long stretches of gravel surface. In 1930, there were fewer than one hundred thousand vehicles in the province and once the Depression struck, this figure didn’t start to grow again until the Second World War broke out. Working people took street cars, trains, ferries and freighters; where those were lacking, they walked or bicycled when they had to travel to work, go shopping, or wanted to see the sights. The Second World War changed all this. For a few years, coastal defence replaced commerce as the driving force behind roadbuilding. Places like Prince Rupert, Port Hardy, and Vancouver Island’s West Coast were among those which benefited from a surge of new roads and airports. These were large contracts and there was only a small pool of companies able to handle them, all of which were solidly anti-union. Despite the government’s 1940 Order-in-Council recognizing the right of workers to form unions and bargain with employers, the major roadbuilding companies refused either to deal with unions or to pay union scale wages, even though they themselves were often being paid by the government on a cost-plus basis.
