Last year at the conclusion of the Summit many commented: “How can you possibly top this!?” With an incredible array of presentations headlined by the Governor of the Bank of Canada, it was easy to see that VIEA and the signature Economic Summit had come of age and that VIEA’s primary goal of fostering collaboration amongst diverse stake- holders to help ensure sustainable economic prosperity throughout Vancouver Island was taking hold. How do we top the Summit of 2012? By continuing to collaborate, net- work, build strong relations, share ideas, spread the word, and ‘show up’! The Summit is all about us coming together. Do we have some excellent speakers? Yes. Do we have a full program with sessions designed to engage our collective thinking towards better outcomes for important issues? Yes. And the focus continues to be the ‘State of the Island’ and how we can work together to help ensure a prosperous future for everyone on Vancouver Island. As some of you may know, the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance is a non-profit, non-government society funded entirely by annual member- ships and receipts from events such as the annual Summit. If you are a VIEA member, thank you for your continuing support. If you are not a VIEA member, please consider joining VIEA as a way of supporting and participating in the important work of building alliances and of marketing Vancouver Island to the rest of the world. So enjoy yourselves. Enjoy each other. Contribute your thoughts. Gain new insights. Take pride in being part of fostering a healthy ‘State of the Island.’ And in the process, please consider becoming a member of VIEA helping to ensure that this thinking and these actions continue to contribute to a sustainable and vital Island economy. On behalf of our board and staff, our sponsors, tradeshow exhibitors, and summit presenters, thank you for coming to participate.

At VIEA, we believe that “it’s all about the company you keep” and that the strongest ideas emerge from collaboration. Over a relatively brief seven-year history, VIEA has undertaken a number of important projects as a direct result of networking and conversations amongst stakeholders especially at our Summit events. One of the first was a comprehensive study on the economy of Vancouver Island and the Central and Sunshine Coasts. Completed in 2009, it identified some specific challenges to the Island economy: from a skills and labour shortage, to critical issues in transportation, innovation, land use, health and education. While these underlying issues have emerged time and again, the collective conversation of VIEA members and associates has evolved to reflect new economic realities over the years and as challenges and opportunities presented themselves, these discussions have guided VIEA board priorities and the development of annual Economic Summits. VIEA conducted a “Gray Skills” pilot project in the Victoria area in 2009 that introduced employers to the benefits of hiring mature workers, and encouraged collaboration between business and employment agencies to address skill shortages and retention issues. That same year VIEA partnered with Tourism Vancouver Island on an investment and workforce attraction video, and in 2010 developed the pivotal “Link Project” that focused on the role of regional collaboration in strategic economic development. The projects being pursued by the organization today continue to emerge in one way or another from presentations and conversations generated at our annual Economic Summits, and include: Economic Gardening – VIEA is announcing the pilot launch of this initiative to make valuable market research available to qualified businesses on Vancouver Island. The Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation has stepped forward to provide funding for a pilot project for businesses in Nanaimo and VIEA is welcoming of other corporate or local government stakeholders who might wish to see this program expand to their clients or communities. The Economic Gardening services will be facilitated by VIEA and delivered in cooperation with Community Futures. Intermodal Transportation – VIEA has been working with an initial group of stakeholders developing a case for an Island-wide transportation plan with a 30 to 50-year horizon. The intention is to identify how transportation to, from and throughout the region should develop so as to continually improve connectivity, accessibility and affordability with an ultimate goal of turning transportation—largely perceived as an Island liability—into a regional advantage. There are many successful ‘island’ economies in the world. Why can’t we be one of them? First Nations/Community Engagement – In the context of treaty settlements and reconciliation, the social and economic landscape will continue to experience significant change from one end of the Island to the other. VIEA sees that it is critically 6 OCTOBER 2013 www.viea.ca important for relationships to develop so that partnerships can be explored to everyone’s advantage. VIEA is hoping to work with the 53 First Nations on the Island, along with the Tribal Councils and Economic Development organizations serving them, to identify and help communicate economic opportunities to the broader marketplace. Investment Attraction – As we heard from presenters at the last two Economic Summits, succession planning for small businesses should be an issue of interest and concern in every community on Vancouver Island. It is expected that many small business owners will seek to sell their businesses and retire within the next 10 years. Who are the buyers? From where will they come? VIEA is uniquely positioned to promote all of Vancouver Island as a place to invest. We have begun to connect

  • 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.

    CLASS, RACE AND ETHNICITY: . CHINESE CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS IN VANCOUVER by AARON JEROME WEST JAMES B.A. (Hons.)., TheUruversity of Wirinipeg, 1996 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (The Department of Geography) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required^standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 1999 ® Aaron Jerome West James In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Da (5/*K DE-6 (2/88) Abstract In research on immigrant enterprise, scholars argue that entrepreneurs mobilize informal support and resources from ethnic affiliations to overcome barriers associated with their immigrant or 'racial' status. The presumed relationship between ethnicity and entrepreneurship is relatively straight forward: immigrant entrepreneurs facing cultural or economic barriers use ethnic resources to propel their economic strategies. This assumption is brought under scrutiny in a study of Chinese Canadian immigrant entrepreneurs in Vancouver, Canada who arrived after 1967, many of whom are skilled professionals, affluent investors, and experienced entrepreneurs. Some have formed corporate ethnic enterprises and many maintain extensive social and commercial ties abroad.

    APRIL 2019 LIFE IN CHINATOWN LANES Exploring Hidden Opportunities for Activation 唐人街(華埠)的公眾空間:探究巷道活躍化的潛在機會 11 Kitsilano Reserve, English Bay, 1936. Photo: Karl Haspel; City of Vancouver Archives THE LAND ON WHICH WE STAND We would like to acknowledge that this report and the research behind it have been produced on the traditional, ancestral, unceded and occupied territories of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Skxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səlílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. The land where Chinatown and Vancouver are situated was never surrendered by these First Nations to the Government of Canada or to British Columbia. Any conversation on public space and community belonging must critically engage with the colonial history of ongoing displacement and inequity in the city. As settlers on this land, we are grateful to be given the opportunity to learn and share with others. We hope that this report can encourage people to reflect and think more deeply about the complexity and importance of decolonizing urban public space.
