    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Pacific Region Science Response 2017/031 REVIEW OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH RECENT AND PROPOSED OKANAGAN SOCKEYE SALMON FRY INTRODUCTIONS TO SKAHA AND OKANAGAN LAKES Context The Columbia River Basin supports a Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) aggregate that is composed of three Sockeye Salmon populations including: the Okanagan population from British Columbia (BC), Canada, the Wenatchee Lake population from Washington State, and a small population from Redfish Lake in Idaho that is listed under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). On average, the Okanagan population has accounted for greater than 80% of all Sockeye Salmon returning to the Columbia Basin in the most recent decade. Anadromous Sockeye Salmon and freshwater-resident kokanee are two ecotypes within Oncorhynchus nerka that occur frequently as sympatric paired populations sharing a common nursery (juvenile-rearing) lake. The closely related ecotypic pairs typically develop naturally, with the presence of Sockeye Salmon believed to give rise to the subsequent development of kokanee. Okanagan Lake currently provides no access to Sockeye Salmon but contains shore- and stream-spawning kokanee that display limited morphological and genetic differentiation and may constitute incipient ecotypes. Okanagan Lake has experienced extensive environmental perturbation over the past 100 years and the evolutionary trajectory of the kokanee ecotypes (stable, increasing or decreasing genetic differentiation) is not known. As part of a program to introduce Sockeye Salmon into Okanagan Lake, the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) initiated introductions of hatchery-origin Sockeye Salmon to Skaha Lake as an initial, 12-year experiment to provide results to inform future introductions to Okanagan Lake.

  • 1 Appendix a William Sutton Fonds, PR-0202, Royal British Columbia
    Appendix A William Sutton Fonds, PR-0202, Royal British Columbia Museum Archive, Victoria, B.C. The photograph album is held at the Royal British Columbia Museum, Victoria. It was donated by Will’s sister-in-law, Miss Fox, in 1933 after her sister, Helen Annie Sutton, Will’s wife, had died in 1932. It seems originally there were 58 photographs but four are missing. The collection is contained in a bound photograph album. Each photograph, 5” x 7”, is set into recessed pockets on each page and on both sides of the page. Therefore there is no access to the reverse side of the photographs. In 2015 volunteer Leona Taylor very kindly took photographs of most of the collection and made a list of the contents. The photographs are numbered 15276-15317. But with some anomalies: for example, there are two 15317s (different views); 15306 is a bridge but is not labelled; similarly, 15314 has no description and there are three blank spaces where there may have been photographs. Each photograph is numbered, probably by the archivist at the time. It looks like someone made an attempt at grouping the photographs when they were put into the album – perhaps Annie or one of her sisters? However, the groups are not consistent. Having examined the photographs I suggest they fall into several categories, according to the area they were taken, as follows. COWICHAN (1889?) 15276 Cowichan River 15277 Skutz Falls, Cowichan River 15278 Cowichan Lake 45279 Cowichan River 15317 Lower Canyon, Cowichan River ? no number Lower Canyon (slates) Cowichan River It seems likely the Cowichan photographs are from the period when Will’s father had a lumber business in that area (see chapter six); they may have been taken about the time Will was selling the mill and leases (1889).

  • Technical Report for Skaha Bench Sub-GI
    Skaha Bench Sub- Geographic Indication July 2018 Technical Description and Geographic Extent Documentation in support of a formal application to the BC Wine Authority for the creation of a new sub-GI named Skaha Bench. Scott Smith, Eterrna Consulting Pat Bowen, Summerland Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Page 1 Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO N AND GEOGRAPHIC EXT ENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed sub-Geographic Indication (sub-GI) is located along the east side of Skaha Lake spanning a total length of approximately 10 km in a north south direction and an area of just under 365 ha. As of 2016, the delineated area contained approximately 75 ha of vineyards, split evenly between the northern and southern portions of the sub-GI. The delineation also encompasses areas of rock outcrop, a large residential area (Heritage Hills estates) and significant areas of orchard lands. The proposed sub-GI is composed of a single landscape element – the Late Pleistocene aged glaciolacustrine terrace (bench). The origin of the glaciolacustrine terrace and the nature of its surface relate to the period at the end of the last ice age during deglaciation when the temporary Glacial Lake Penticton existed some 12,000 to 10,000 years ago on the floor of the Okanagan valley including the area currently along the east side of Skaha Lake. The unconsolidated materials that underlie the terrace are for the most part comprised of silt and fine sand and without significant stone content. The soils that form on these sediments are very favourable for wine grape production.
