  • Tourism Labour Market Demand Analysis for the Sea-To-Sky Region May 2006
    TOURISM LABOUR MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR THE SEA-TO-SKY REGION Prepared for the Sea-to-Sky Tourism Human Resources Strategy Steering Committee by Ruth Emery Canbritic Consultants Ltd. May 2006 Tourism Labour Market Demand Analysis for the Sea-to-Sky Region May 2006 TOURISM LABOUR MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR THE SEA-TO-SKY REGION REPORT ON FINDINGS Highlights ¾ The current shortfall of workers for the tourism labour market in Whistler is conservatively estimated at 3,500. This number does not fully account for the major seasonal differences and could well be higher for the peak season. The actual number of workers required to make up this shortfall would be significantly higher than 3,500 because of part-time, part-year and seasonal jobs. ¾ Currently many people living in the Squamish-Lillooet area work in Whistler so the 3,500 is a measure of shortage that is beyond the current workforce capacity of the whole Squamish-Lillooet area. The 3,500 plus some additional demand for the peak season has typically been filled by recruitment of workers from elsewhere, in BC, Canada and overseas. ¾ Growth in the four key tourism related industries of accommodation, food and beverage services, recreation and retail trade, is expected to add an additional 2,500 jobs in tourism related activity over the ten years to 2015. ¾ While the majority of the new jobs are expected to be in Whistler, the growth rate for tourism jobs in the surrounding area is projected as being slightly higher than for Whistler itself. ¾ Population growth in the Squamish-Lillooet area, already a little higher than for BC, is expected to see this trend continue.

A drilling program was conducted 32–65 km downstream from the volcano to search for evidence of anomalous sedimentation caused by volcanism or large landslides at Mount Meager. Drilling revealed an alluvial sequence consisting of river channel, bar, and overbank sediments interlayered with volcaniclastic units deposited by debris flows and hyperconcentrated flows. The sediments constitute the upper part of a prograded delta that filled a late Pleistocene lake. Calibrated radiocarbon ages obtained from drill core at 13 sites show that the average long-term floodplain aggradation rate is 4.4 mm aÀ1 and the average delta progradation rate is 6.0 m aÀ1. Aggradation and progradation rates, however, varied markedly over time. Large volumes of sediment were deposited in the valley following edifice collapse events and the eruption of Mount Meager volcano about 2360 years ago, causing pulses in delta progradation, with estimated rates to 150 m aÀ1 over 50-yr intervals.

University of British Columbia COLE HARRIS Bull of the Woods, The Gordon Gibson Story, by Gordon Gibson with Carol Renison. Vancouver: Douglas and Mclntyre, 1980. Pp. 310, $16.95 hardcover. Gordon Gibson, through his own words as recorded by Renison, comes through as a racist, sexist, bullying and often insensitive man. He also emerges as a tough, often courageous, sometimes high-minded and sur­ prisingly honest entrepreneur. Perhaps because one senses that only such an individual could have run the risks he ran, built the mills he built and established the forest companies he did in the pioneer conditions of the 1920s to 1950s, one winces at the revelations but reads on. Too much of the book is a personal diary, written as if in the first per­ son, in which Gibson eulogizes himself. This is unfortunate because the events he brought about, the territory on which he imposed his will and the people whose lives he affected are exceedingly interesting to the reader who is concerned with British Columbia's history. Fewer precious revela­ tions and more detailed descriptions of events would have made the book a lasting tribute to the man. He is worthy of a lasting tribute, the negative characteristics notwithstanding. His version of the logging and fishing conditions and small mills in the 1920s, of boats, log-booms, storms and mishaps in dangerous seas through that decade and the next few, and, most particularly, of the establishment of Tahsis after the war are worth the reading.
