  • Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
    MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.

Secretary Malcomson’s report did not include the qRD in the summer 2019 consultation process on the marine debris issue. Therefore, we are forwarding the Shoreline Cleanup 2019 Year End Report directly to Secretary Malcolmson and the Honourable George Heyman, Minister of Environment. We want to ensure that all AVICC members are aware of the ministry's report and its 'potential solutions' for the problems of marine debris. We would also like to share the qRD's report, including its data, experiences, and specific concerns with AVICC members to encourage other coastal local governments to watch for and act on any further opportunities to raise awareness on this issue.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • Desolation Sound in Surfbird by Cameron D
    PLACES: Desolation Sound in Surfbird by Cameron D. Eckert “That looks like a storybook!” A dock- side onlooker hails as we sail our 16-foot wooden Wayfarer Surfbird into the har- bour at Powell River. And in many ways this trip has all the elements of a story- book with its secret coves, wild seas, beach cookouts, and an imaginative young crew ready for adventure. On July 18 my sons Nigel and Rory, aged 16 and 11, and I, launch Surfbird near Nanoose Bay on the east side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Our plan is to sail north to the Desolation Sound area, and then return to Nanaimo in about two weeks. This is a stunning landscape where richly forested moun- tains and a productive intertidal zone meet to create a fascinating and highly scenic coastal environment. The waters of the northern Strait of Georgia do not regularly mix with the cold Pacific and as a result are surprisingly warm. A complex shoreline along the east side of the strait, the Sunshine Coast, offers an abundance of sheltered anchorages. Our route will present some challenges, not the least of which will be crossing the Strait of Geor- gia twice—a relatively big piece of ocean for a small open boat. It turns out though that the shorter passages between small islands will also provide plenty of excite- ment. This area is known for strong tidal currents that will test our navigation skills and endurance, especially as we rely solely on sail and oar. And so with a 7-knot breeze from the south, and a flood tide to help us along, we set sail north up the Strait of Geor- gia towards the distant mass of Mount Shepard on Texada Island.

  • Optical Dating of Stabilized Parabolic Dunes, Savary Island, British Columbia
    Optical dating of stabilized parabolic dunes, Savary Island, British Columbia by Libby Biln Bachelor of Science, University of the Fraser Valley, 2014 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Science © Libby Biln SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Libby Biln Degree: Master of Science Title: Optical dating of stabilized parabolic dunes, Savary Island, British Columbia Examining Committee: Chair: Dirk Kirste Associate Professor Brent Ward Senior Supervisor Professor Olav Lian Supervisor Adjunct Professor John Clague Committee Member Professor Emeritus Ian J. Walker Committee member Professor, Arizona State University Stephen A. Wolfe External Examiner Natural Resources Canada Geological Survey of Canada Date Defended/Approved: June 13, 2017 ii Abstract Research has shown that the south coast of British Columbia (BC) has experienced changes in relative sea level and climate since deglaciation (~15 ka ago); however, there has been little study of the landscape’s response to these changes. On Savary Island, in the Strait of Georgia, there exist large parabolic dunes that are unique to the region. These dunes are stabilized, supporting mature forest growing in well- developed soil, and they contain eroded palaeosols indicating that their formation was punctuated by periods of episodic stabilization and soil formation. Optical ages from K- feldspar indicate that dune formation began prior to 7.69 ± 0.71 ka and stabilized by about 5.47 ± 0.36 ka ago when relative sea level lowering was slowing and climate was becoming cooler and moister.

This bulletinincludes reports of surveys of most of the knowncommercial or potentiallycommercial calcareous depositsreadily accessible tothe industrial and agricultural areas of south-western British Columbia and north-western Washington. Limestone deposits on the west coast of Vancouver Island and on the inland passage north of the difficultly navigable waters of Seymour Narrows, OkisolloChannel, and Yuculta Rapids have not, however, been examined. Deposits more than 4 or 5 miles from tide-water have likewise been omitted from the study, except in the eastern part of the Fraser Valley and in the western part of the Cascade Range of Washington whereadequate road 01- railtransportation is available. Unconsolidated calcareous deposits, marl, travertine, and shell, which are of someeconomic importance within this area, have been included in the study. Three introductory chapters dealing with the geology, extraction and utilization, and examination of these western limestone deposits have been included in this bulletin to aid in the appreciation of the reports on individual properties. Three months of the summer of 1944 were devoted to field-work on Texada Island, andtwo months of the summer of 1945 to field-work on VancouverIsland and the Lower Mainland.
