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 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 8. Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.

  • British Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA British Columbia Canada's most westerly province, British Columbia is huge and diverse. If you love the great outdoors, you'll never be bored in a province that is so beautiful, with such variation, and with so many opportunities for hiking, rafting, sailing and skiing, to name just a few. British Columbia is studded with breathtakingly beautiful mountains that puncture vast, blue skies. You'll also find long stretches of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, wineries, orchards, forests and snowmelt-fed lakes. There is even Canada's only desert: Osoyoos, in the southern Okanagan, which is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions and prickly pear cacti. If you're seeking unspoiled wilderness, then British Columbia is the perfect province to lose yourself in. If you want company, however, there are plenty of modern and lively cities and towns in British Columbia. Vancouver has scores of galleries, museums and bars. But even in Vancouver you're never too removed from nature: the city contains Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park. Notable Attractions • Yoho National Park • Kootenay National Park • Tatshenshin-Alsek Provincial Park • Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve & Haida Heritage Site • Banff National Park • Jasper National Park ...And Much More!

  • 2020 – Energy and Canadian First Nations
    ENERGY AND CANADIAN FIRST NATIONS LNG - AN INTRODUCTION BC First Nations Energy and Mining Council 2020 1 1 World Energy consumption Billion Tons of Oil Equivalent Source: bp.com 2 World Energy Consumption World energy demand is increasing. Global economic growth, led primarily by China and India, is driving increasing prosperity in developing economies. Global growth is partly supported by population growth with world population increasing by around 1.7 billion to reach nearly 9.2 billion people in 2040, and the emergence of large and increasing middle classes. With an increasing middle class comes a rising standard of living. It’s this standard that drives energy demand. In the next 20 years, demand for all forms of energy will rise, led by China and India. 2 Canada and Energy 3 Canada and Energy Canada is sell positioned to provide multiple forms of energy to growing world economies. Canada is rich in oil, natural gas, coal, hydroelectricity, and nuclear energy options. Wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, biofuels: Increasingly, these forms of energy are increasingly part of Canada’s energy mix with export opportunities. Oil: Canada has the third-largest oil reserves in the world. Of the 170 billion barrels of Canadian oil that can be recovered economically with today’s technology, 165 billion barrels are located in the oil sands.
