Establishing networks of protected areas and maintaining connectivity between them is the most recommended prescription for minimizing the impacts of these influences. Conservation planning must occur at the scale at which climate and evolutionary changes occur. The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is one of the world's oldest and most advanced efforts to establish a large-scale network of protected areas and maintain connectivity between them. Working with a network of more than 125 partners, Y2Y promotes the establishment of new protected areas and their management for biodiversity conservation. Programs also support the mitigation of highway and railway impacts on wildlife, provide education and resources for minimizing conflicts between communities and wildlife, restore and remove industrial access roads, protect private lands through purchase or easement, and, when necessary, oppose inappropriate development.

    Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue

    1 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue Garibaldi Provincial Park, located in the traditional territory of the Squamish people, forms much of the backdrop to Whistler/ Blackcomb, site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Games. Sitting in the heart of the Coast Mountains, the park takes its name from the towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount Garibaldi. Garibaldi Park is known for its pristine beauty and spectacular natural features. Just 70 km north of Vancouver, the park offers over 90 km of established hiking trails, and is a favourite year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Interesting Garibaldi Park Facts • The southern portion of Garibaldi Park is home to the Garibaldi Volcano, part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and made up of Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome. This stratavolcano, so named because of its conelike layers of hardened lava, rock and volcanic ash, last erupted 10,000 to 13,000 years ago under glacial ice. It is this event that is responsible for forming some of the fascinating geological features in the park, such as Opal Cone, the Table and Black Tusk. • The “Barrier” is a natural rock formation created by the volcanic explosion of Mount Price thousands of years ago; the lava created a natural dam for the melt streams from nearby glaciers. As a result Garibaldi Lake formed. The lake reaches depths of up to 300 metres in places and is rich in silt (or ‘rock flour’), which gives the lake its characteristic milky blue colour. www.bcparks.ca 2 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue History In 1860, while surveying Howe Sound on board the Royal Navy ship H.M.S.

    British Columbia Coastal Range and the Chilkotins

    BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTAL RANGE AND THE CHILKOTINS The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are remote with limited accessibility by float plane, helicopter or boating up its deep inlets along the coast and hiking in. The mountains along British Columbia and SE Alaska intermix with the sea in a complex maze of fjords, with thousands of islands. It is a true wilderness where not exploited by logging and salmon farming pens. But there are some areas accessible from roads that can be explored, including west of Lillooet, the Chilcotins, and the Garibaldi Range. The Coast Mountains extend approximately 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) long from the southeastern boundaries are surrounded by the Fraser River and the Interior Plateau while its far northwestern edge is delimited by the Kelsall and Tatshenshini Rivers at the north end of the Alaska Panhandle, beyond which are the Saint Elias Mountains. The western mountain slopes are covered by dense temperate rainforest with heavily glaciated peaks and icefields that include Mt Waddington and Mt Silverthrone. Mount Waddington is the highest mountain of the Coast Mountains and the highest that lies entirely within British Columbia, located northeast of the head of Knight Inlet with an elevation of 4,019 metres (13,186 ft). The range along its eastern flanks tapers to the dry Interior Plateau and the boreal forests of the southern Chilkotins north to the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. The mountain range's name derives from its proximity to the sea coast, and it is often referred to as the Coast Range. The range includes volcanic and non-volcanic mountains and the extensive ice fields of the Pacific and Boundary Ranges, and the northern end of the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes.

Dr. Tony Boydell, Director School of Environment and Sustainability ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY February 2010 © Caroline Kohar Armour, 2010 Investigating Cottid Recolonization ii ABSTRACT An estimated 90% of resident sculpin (Cottus asper and C. aleuticus) were impacted by a spill of 45,000 litres of sodium hydroxide, which occurred on the Cheakamus River, British Columbia on August 5, 2005. This study examined sculpin biology, life history, how sculpins are recovering from the impact, and whether they are re-entering the Cheakamus River from the adjacent Squamish and Mamquam Rivers. Sculpins were sampled in the three river systems via minnow trapping and electrofishing. Morphometric data were recorded and fin clips were taken as deoxyribonucleic acid vouchers to validate field species identification and to determine population distinctiveness among the three systems. Populations were not distinct, suggesting recolonization from other rivers is occurring. The data show sculpins will undergo seasonal downstream spawning migrations and also suggest sculpins are opportunistic habitat colonizers. This research bears useful implications for the adaptive management, recovery, and sustainability of sculpins in the Cheakamus River.

Rodney Glisan participated as a leader on some of these events. As many as 30 people participated on these hikes. They usually travelled by train to the vicinity of the trailhead, and then took motor coaches or private cars for the remainder of the way. Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan. Trips included Mount Saint Helens Climb, July 4 and 5, 1915; Table Mountain Hike, November 14, 1915; Mount Adams Climb, July 1, 1916; and Beacon Rock Hike, November 4, 1917.

    BMN Hike Taylor Meadows/Garibaldi Lake Loop (September 10, 2011) By Mark Johnston Garibaldi Lake with Mount Price and Clinker Peak in the background. I. McArthur photo. Surprisingly, in all the years of organizing club hikes, we had never scheduled a trip to Garibaldi Lake. Perhaps we had shunned the lake because of its popularity, as we tend to go places less peopled. But the lake is popular for a reason. It is, quite simply, stunningly beautiful. In his book Hiking near Vancouver (Vancouver: Mitchell Press Limited, 1971), Dougald MacDonald describes it this way: “an exquisite lake fed by glaciers. The water is an incredible blue-green, opaque with the rock flour that glaciers have abraded from the mountainsides.” So when, in this BC Parks centenary year, we came up with the idea of focusing on our provincial parks, we decided that no tour of our parks would be complete without paying a visit to this spectacular lake. When we planned the outing, we didn’t realize that the date we picked—Saturday, September 10—was that of the GranFondo Whistler bicycle race along the Sea to Sky Highway. After becoming aware of this, we agreed on an early start so as not to get stuck in slow-moving traffic. We left town at 6:15 am, and mostly avoided any delays. Although we arrived at the Rubble Creek parking area by 8:30, the upper lot was already full and the lower one filling up rapidly. As expected, the nine of us would have lots of company. But while there would be many other parties on the trail that day, we found that most of the time we were hiking alone, unaware of the other groups.
