In a general sense this thesis examines the centralizing forces of equality of opportunity promoted by the provincial government versus the forces of decentralization found in the principle of local autonomy. Specifically this thesis examines the reasons why the school districts in die central interior of British Columbia, around Prince George, were consolidated with little or no opposition in 1946 following the recommendations of the Cameron Report. This thesis is a case study of the region approximately in the center of the province that was to become School District No.

  • Mapping Migration Patterns in the Upper Fraser Region, British Columbia
    Mapping Migration Patterns in the Upper Fraser Region, British Columbia Kyle Kusch , University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George, BC, Canada, V2N 4Z9, Email: [email protected] Abstract: In 2000 and 2005, two sets of oral history interviews were conducted with current and former residents who lived in the Upper Fraser region of British Columbia 1945 and 1975 (the peak years of sawmill operations in the region). Many of the questions posed revolved around issues of migration, including why residents migrated to the area, where they came from, and reasons for their departure. This research presents results of the two sets of interviews and displays the results using data-intensive descriptive mapping techniques. Results indicate that most residents arrived from the Prairie Provinces and Scandinavia in search of employment, and were prompted to leave due to forest industry consolidation, lack of employment opportunity outside of the lumber industry, and lack of educational facilities in the region. Keywords: Upper Fraser region, descriptive mapping, rural-to-urban migration, community change, historical geography 1.0 Introduction Between 1920 and 1990, the Upper Fraser region of British Columbia experienced a period of rapid socio-economic change in which numerous small communities developed, boomed, busted and faded away. The fortunes of these towns largely revolved around the existence of sawmills, which began to close in the 1960’s as the lumber industry consolidated. As the long-term sustainability of most rural communities is dependent upon resource-based primary industries, these communities are vulnerable to even slight variations in local socio-economic infrastructure (Halseth 1999, Bryant and Joseph 2001, LeBlanc 2003).
