Ucluelet Final
Culture and Heritage Study, Marine Resource Sites and Activities, Maa-nulth First Nations Ucluelet First Nation Project Final Report Halibut and herring eggs drying on racks at Ucluelet, 1890s. Royal B.C. Museum photo PN 1176. Prepared for Ucluelet First Nation by Traditions Consulting Services, Inc. Chatwin Engineering Ltd. March 12, 2004 “But the ocean is more the home of these people than the land, and the bounteous gifts of nature in the former element seem more to their taste and are more easily procured than the beasts of the forest.... ...Without a question these people are the richest in every respect in British Columbia...” George Blenkinsop, 1874. Note to Reader Thanks is offered to the Maanulth First Nations for their support of the project for which this is the Final Report, and especially to the h=aw`iih (chiefs), elders and cultural advisors who have shared their knowledge in the past, and throughout the project. In this report, reference is made to “Maanulth First Nations,” a recent term. Within the context of this report, that term is intended to refer to the Huuayaht First Nation, the Uchucklesaht Tribe, the Toquaht First Nation, the Ucluelet First Nation, the Ka:'yu:k't'h/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nation, and to the tribes and groups that were their predecessors. No attempt has been made to standardize the linguistic transcription of native names or words in this report. These are presented in the manner in which they were encountered in various source materials. Management Summary This is the Final Report for the Culture and Heritage Study, Marine Resource Sites and Activities, Maanulth First Nations. -

Final Report on Bamfield Recommendations on Bamfield
FINAL REPORT ON BAMFIELD RECOMMENDATIONS June 2021 The University of Victoria will never forget September 13, 2019 and we deeply honour the memories of our two students, Emma Machado and John Geerdes, who passed away on the road to Bamfield that night. We recognize the accident’s aftermath for those closely involved will last well beyond these past 22 months and that, each time it is raised, it can weigh heavily on them. September 2019 was meant to be the start of an exciting new term for 45 UVic students and two teaching assistants. Instead, we mourned the loss of two of our first-year students. The students who survived, their parents and the families of John and Emma experienced an extraordinarily harrowing time. To this day, we remain profoundly sorry for the immeasurable grief, hardships and ongoing challenges caused by this tragic accident and all aspects associated with it. Cover: Eagle Bay near the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, which is situated on the traditional territory of Huu-ay-aht First Nations. Huu-ay-aht is a Nuu-chah-nulth Nation and member of the Maa-nulth Treaty Society. | 1 Learning from the tragic accident Following the accident, UVic commissioned an independent report by external expert Ross Cloutier. As promised when we received the report, Conducting Field Schools to the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, in June 2020, the university has now fulfilled all the recommendations—except those contingent upon a return trip to Bamfield, which has not been possible during the pandemic—as well as other important improvements which go beyond these recommendations. -

Travel directions outlined are mainly Vancouver Island based - from Victoria or Nanaimo to Port McNeill. Travel by Car Vancouver Island’s Highway 19 runs from Victoria to Port Hardy. The stretch of Highway 19 that extends from Campbell River to Port McNeill is a well maintained, paved, double lane highway with frequent wildlife sightings. Approximate driving distances times are: Victoria to Port McNeill, 460 km, 5 ½-6 hours Nanaimo to Port McNeill, 340 km, 4 hours Road Conditions: www.drivebc.com or 1-800-550-4997 SointulaTravel.docx Page 1 of 2 Travel by Air Pacific Coastal Airlines operate daily scheduled flights between the Port Hardy Airport (YZT) and Vancouver Airport’s South Terminal (YVR) with approximately one hour flying time. These flights leave from a smaller, adjacent airport in Vancouver called the South Terminal. A shuttle bus service runs frequently between Vancouver Main Terminal and the South Terminal.

Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND EXPLORATION GEOSCIENCE PROJECT In July 2012, Geoscience BC, together with the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), committed to spend up to $930,000 on the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. The project area includes the communities of Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice, Sayward, Zeballos and Camp- bell River. The goal of the project is to attract mineral exploration interest and investment to Northern Vancouver Island through a better understanding of the area’s geology and mineral potential. The project is also working with partners to deliver information on geoscience, mineral exploration and mining to local First Nations and communities through interactive workshops and information sessions. To achieve the goals of attracting investment and creating new employment opportunities on the island, the project is generating new geoscience data for the area, including an airborne magnetic geophysical survey and a regional stream sediment geochemical sampling and reanalysis program. The airborne survey was fl own in the summer of 2012, and the data were re- leased in January 2013 at the Mineral Exploration Roundup conference in Van- couver. The data reveal magnetic variations in the earth’s surface and help ge- ologists better understand the geology of the area. The results also help the mineral exploration industry identify targets for further investigation. The regional geochemical program consists of two parts: 1) the reanalysis of over 400 till samples collected by the BC Geological Survey in the early to mid- Stream Sediment Sampling, North Vancou- ver Island. 1990s, and; 2) collection of over 700 new stream sediment and moss mat sam- Photo courtesy of Wayne Jackaman ples in fall 2012. -
