  • Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Victoria Centre
    ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE Comet NEOWISE, July 16th, 2020, by Daniel Posey A Comet Tale Physically isolated from their fellow RASCals, many members of the local amateur astronomy community were experiencing a state of isolation from their own telescopes, until the Comet NEOWISE called them to action. It hasn’t just been the amateur astronomy community paying attention to our celebrity comet either. With the prospects of a bright comet in the northern night sky, members of the public have been regularly gathering in large numbers, in places like Mount Tolmie, Mount Doug, and along the waterfront of Greater Victoria. SKYNEWS August 2020 ISSUE #420 Page 1 ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE The Comet NEOWISE takes its name from the Near Earth Object survey mission it was discovered on, by astronomers using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope, long before it became the bright comet in the night sky. For those of us without space telescopes at our disposal, early on the comet was best viewed in the early hours of the morning, something prohibitive to many of us who are still working regular hours or who are allergic to getting up in the pre-dawn hours. However, by the second half of July, the comet was clearly visible in the early evening, wandering its way towards and then underneath the constellation Ursa Major. After being teased for weeks with stories of the comet of the century, we all finally had a good view of the spectacle. The arrival of the comet this year not only resulted in a renaissance of astrophotography and observing (as seen by Sherry Buttnor’s image top right and Bill Weir’s sketch bottom right), among our Centre’s membership, but has inspired many members of the public to take up astronomy as a hobby.

  • Mystic Spring"
    THE CONFUSING LEGEND OF THE "MYSTIC SPRING" by Grant Keddie, Royal B.C. Museum, 2003 In the municipality of Oak Bay, above the western side of Cadboro Bay, part of the uplands drain through a deep ravine now referred to as Mystic Vale. The creek that flows through this vale, or valley, has never been given a legal name but is referred to locally as Mystic Creek or Hobbs Creek. Mystic Creek flows north of Vista Bay Road and between Bermuda Street and Killarney road to the north of Cadboro Bay road. South of Cadboro Bay road the creek flows on the east side of Killarney road. Recently its south end was diverted east to Sinclair road. Mystic Vale is located at the far left of this photograph taken in the early 1900s. RBCM A-02978. To the west of Killarney road is Mystic Lane. Artificial duck ponds have been created above and below this lane. The area between Killarney road and the hill slope below Hibbens Close receives its surface and underground water supply from some of the uplands west of Mystic vale. House and yard construction projects in the 1930's and especially the development of the Cadboro Bay Auto court property in the 1940's disrupted the flow and configuration of two small creeks in this area. Three large ponds were dug in the 1940's to contain the flow of one of the creeks. Later, landfill and house construction altered this area substantially. The present artificial duck pond along Waring road is a remnant of one of these earlier water control ponds.

  • Mapping Report
    Aquifer Classification Worksheet for Wark-Colquitz Aquifer (680) Aquifer number: 680 Proposed name of aquifer: Wark-Colquitz Aquifer (680). Aquifer Classification: IB (14) Aquifer Priority Ranking for Observation Wells: 68.33 Descriptive location of aquifer: The aquifer is found on south-eastern Vancouver Island, covering a land area that includes much of the municipalities of Colwood, Langford, and all of Esquimalt, Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich, View Royal and District of Highlands. Date: June 2004. (New well information from 092B053 was included and overall statistics were updated on March 13, 2012 by Margaret Scott) NTS mapsheet: 092B/05, 092B/06, 092B/11, 092B/12. TRIM mapsheets: 092B.043, 092B.044, 092B.053, 092B.054. What geological formation does the aquifer belong to? Four bedrock types are included within this single aquifer: Colquitz gneiss, Wark gneiss, Karmutsen volcanics, and Leech River metavolcanic and metasedimentary bedrock. The majority of the aquifer is made up of Paleozoic crystalline igneous and meta-igneous rocks of the West Coast Crystalline Complex, which includes the Wark-Colquitz Complex. This metamorphic complex has been described by Massey (1994), and includes quartz diorite, tonalite, hornblende-plagioclase gneiss, quartz-feldspar gneiss, amphibolite, diorite, agmatite, gabbro, marble and metasediments. On the eastern area of the aquifer, the rock is mainly the Colquitz gneiss, a quartz-rich, layered, dark to light coloured unit that is thought to have formed from sedimentary protolith1. On the mid- to west area of the aquifer is found the Wark gneiss, a darker, more massive, hornblende-rich meta-igneous to meta-volcanic rock formed from an igneous diorite and volcanic protolith, which is interbedded with the lighter Colquitz gneiss.
