In the complex world of the 21st century, graduation from an institution of higher learning, such as UNBC, is a major step in preparing yourself for success as you progress along whatever path you choose to take in this changing and challenging world. After today, some of you will go on to continue your formal education while others will pursue career objectives. Whatever you do it is important to remember that learning is a life-long process. One of the most important things a university does is teach you how to learn. Continue to exercise that skill and enjoy doing it. These are both strong ingredients in a successful future. It is also important to recognize all those who have supported you through the learning experience you have gained; your parents, your family and friends as well as the faculty and staff at UNBC. They have all given their best efforts to ensure that you are as well prepared as you can be for what lies ahead. The University of Northern British Columbia is a unique and important institution. It is a young university that reflects the values, aspirations and cultures of those of us that have called northern British Columbia home. Its origins are in the exceptionally strong desire of the people of this region to have a university that is world class, easily accessible, reflects the uniqueness of the region’s widely distributed population and offers its young people, together with those who have joined us from afar, the opportunity to gain knowledge that enables successful pursuit of whatever path in life they choose to follow. I look forward to greeting each of you as you cross the stage today and to present you with the degree and recognition you have earned. Best wishes to each of you, 1990 John S. MacDonald | Chancellor A Message from the President and Vice-Chancellor Dear Graduates, Families and Friends: Congratulations to all the graduates of UNBC’s Class of 2015! I am honoured to be with you here today to mark this special occasion with your classmates, your family, and others who offered support during your studies. This is a day to celebrate your academic achievements, but also to look to the future. Your fields of study and accomplishments are varied, but you have each found ways to be leaders on campus and in the community. Now you have the opportunity to carry on as the next generation of leaders in our region and beyond. Use your talents and drive to make the changes you want to see. As you cross the stage, remember those moments that challenged you, but that you ultimately overcame. In this 25th anniversary year, it is clear that leadership was a major factor in this University’s origin. UNBC is fostering an educational experience that is unique to this region, this province, and this country. Thanks to your contributions as students, the hard work of our award- winning faculty, and the dedication of our staff, UNBC continues to be ranked as one of Canada’s top small universities.

    When the Spirit of the Place Becomes a Symbol

    When the Spirit of the Place Becomes a Symbol MARÍA INÉS SUBERCASEAUX, Senior Conservation Architect 102 des marronniers, Gatineau, J9J 1T9 Tel: 819-997-4982 Fax: 819-953-7482 Email: [email protected] Abstract. Canada is home to a myriad of cultural expressions of spirit of the place. From Haida totems to northern Inuksuit, native forms can be appreciated for their meaning in time, in space, and in their relation to the land. Even when removed from their context, these forms continue to express that spirit. While used to inspire artists, these forms are observed in different ways by others. Can this ‘spirit’ be transferred from one culture to another? Is it universal? The author will discuss the dual ideas of permanent- temporary, self-identity, and how the intangible embodies the recognition by others, ultimately to create a sense of belonging. The presentation will conclude discussion of how these forms have become symbols of Canadian identity and part of its collective memory. The author will present examples from within Canada, and those abroad, ending with Québec and Ottawa to observe various ‘migrated forms’ in vernacular contexts. Spirit of place refers to the unique, distinctive and cherished aspects of a place; often those celebrated by artists and writers but also cherished in folk tales, festivals and celebrations. It is thus as much in the invisible weave of culture as it is the tangible physical aspects of place or its interpersonal aspects. (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_place) From this, one of many possible definitions, we can deduce that there are three main ideas linked with the spirit of place: the intangible, the tangible and their relationship with a cultural group.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
  • Langara College Archaeology Field School 2013: Archaeological and Forensic Studies

    Langara College Archaeology Field School 2013: Archaeological and Forensic Studies

    The Langara College Archaeology Field School 2013: Archaeological and Forensic Studies Stanley A. Copp (Ph.D) Department of Sociology and Anthropology Langara College 100 West 49th Ave. Vancouver, B.C. Canada V5Y 2Z6 18 September 2013 Introduction Following on the success of the 2012 archaeology field school, students once again excavated artifacts, features, and replica human skeletal remains at the on-campus ‘site’ constructed in 2012 (see Copp 2012 for details), but doubled in size for 2013. Three 12’-square boxes containing seven sets of replica human skeletal remains configured as forensic archaeological features were excavated according to standard methodologies and protocols. An additional box contained artifacts and features, including a ½-scale replica human skeleton. Students definitely enjoyed ‘discovering’ the CSI-like aspects of the excavations, but seemed to enjoy even more the task of re-burying the remains in different configurations for next Summer (or for some lucky Forensic Anthropology students who would like near-real life excavation experiences). As in 2012, the 2013 field school students were tested to BC government RISC Archaeology and CMT survey certification standards. All were successful (again). Thanks are due the Archaeology Branch for allowing the RISC course to be embedded in Langara archaeology field schools. The RISC examination was the only written exam requirement for the program. Instead of regular exams or quizzes, evaluation consisted of 12 practical research assignments requiring research and analysis, laboratory exercises, field exercises recorded in a field notebook, daily journal entries and a major research paper. Keeping field records in a notebook and journal are mandatory requirements in the heritage consulting industry, as is developing a familiarity and skills in filling out site inventory and data forms.
