TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.

  • Formation of Royal Colwood Golf Club
    Formation of Royal Colwood Golf Club The land on which the golf course stands was originally Esquimalt Farm, one of four established between 1850 and 1853 by the Hudson’s Bay Company for the population of Victoria. In 1851 Captain Edward E. Langford became the first manager and named his property, on what is now Goldstream Road, “Colwood” after his family estate in Sussex, England. Subsequently the original farm was divided into smaller parcels. One of these surrounded Langford’s old home and became known as Colwood Farm. Early settlers on the farm included Arthur Henry Peatt and William Wale, who leased the Colwood farm in 1892 for $400 per year. Roads in the area now carry their names. In the last few years of the 19th century the Hunt Club was formed and a racecourse was built where the 5th and 6th fairways are now located. Steeplechase events were held on the property. The first steps towards the creation of the golf course occurred in 1912. Joseph Sayward. James Dunsmuir, Senator Frank Barnard and A. C. Flumerfelt, all members of the Victoria Golf Club which they feared might not survive the burden of the growing population and increasing property taxes in Victoria, began preparations for another golf course. The following year A.V. Macan, along with his colleague Captain W. Chambers, a Scot, was engaged by Mr. Sayward to design the Colwood golf course. Mr. Macan, who had emigrated from Ireland and established himself as a lawyer in Victoria, won the British Columbia Amateur championship and the Victoria Club championship in 1912 and 1913 and the Pacific Northwest Amateur championship in 1913.

SUMMARY The applicant, Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA), is preparing to subdivide 324 Goldstream Avenue in order to support the development of an affordable housing complex with 104 units by the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). Accordingly, an application for a zoning text amendment for the property located at 324 Goldstream Avenue has been requested to delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), include Attached Housing to the list of permitted uses, remove the commercial requirement, and minor administrative changes. Further to this, GVHS is seeking relaxations to the front yard setback, to the side yard setback, and to delete the requirement for sloped roofs. GVHS is also requesting financial support from the City of Colwood with regard to affordable housing; the request for financial support beyond what is available within the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund may be challenging given Colwood's existing tax base. This application is being presented to the Committee for a recommendation to Council concerning a rezoning text amendment and a development variance permit application. 2. OVERVIEW 2.1 Application Information Applicant: Mitzi Dean for Pacific Centre Family Services Association Location: 345 Wale Road Legal: Lot 1, District 1, Esquimalt District, Plan EPP64418 Existing Zoning: Towncentre Mixed Use (C8A) Zone Proposed Zoning: No change with "Attached Housing" as a permitted use Existing OCP Land Use: City Centre Proposed OCP Land Use: No Change DP Areas: Form and Character — Centres Guidelines and General Intensive Multi-family & Commercial Guidelines 2.2 Purpose The purpose of this rezoning is to permit the construction of an affordable rental-housing complex on the subject property.

  • Distribution, Abundance, Microhabitat Use and Interspecific Relationships Among Terrestrial Salamanders on Vancouver, Island, British Columbia
    Distribution, Abundance, Microhabitat Use and Interspecific Relationships Among Terrestrial Salamanders on Vancouver, Island, British Columbia ty Theodore M.

Davis, 1996 University of Victoria All rights reserved, This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author, ii Supervisor: Dr. Patrick T. Gregory Abstract A fundamental aim of ecology is the study of patterns of distribution and abundance of organisms. These patterns can be influenced by intrinsic responses to environmental conditions, interspecific interactions, or both. If individuals of similar co-existing species use the same limited resources, competition can result in resource partitioning, but this pattern can also be the result of intrinsic differences. On Vancouver Island, British Columbia, two ecologically similar plethodontid salamanders, Plethodon vehiculum and Aneides ferreus, are each common only where the other species is uncommon. I described their distribution and abundance, investigated differential microhabitat use, and evaluated interspecific interactions between them. At each of nine sites I established arrays of six 0.3 x 2 m artificial cover objects (ACOs).
