  • A Critical Realist Approach to Evolutionary Path Dependence: the Role of Counterurbanite Entrepreneurs in Tourism Regions of Rural Newfoundland
    A Critical Realist Approach to Evolutionary Path Dependence: The Role of Counterurbanite Entrepreneurs in Tourism Regions of Rural Newfoundland by Meghan Shannon A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Meghan Shannon 2018 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Christopher Fullerton Associate Professor, Brock University Supervisor Clare Mitchell Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Judith Cukier Adjunct Professor, University of Waterloo Internal-external Member Heather Mair Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Other Member Stephen Smith Adjunct Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of this thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract Path dependence has emerged as an approach to understanding economic decline in peripheral areas, consisting predominantly of space-based economic activities. Evolutionary economic geography is one lens through which transitioning path dependent locales, of industrial homogeneity, can be critically examined (Steen and Karlsen, 2014). This is because of the evolutionary nature of economic and social systems, which constitute the structures and conditions that largely dictate path dependent trajectories (Martin and Sunley, 2006). Some path dependent rural regions have been successful in creating new trajectories through tourism entrepreneurship (Brouder, 2014; Williams, 2013). This research investigates the evolution of one such path in a historically marginalized region of eastern Canada: rural Newfoundland.

    Important Bird Area Conservation Plan For the Scott Islands by Mark Drever for the Canadian Nature Federation Fall 2002 Executive Summary The Scott Islands have been recognized as a globally significant Important Bird Area (IBA) as part of an international program spearheaded by BirdLife International. The Canadian Nature Federation and Bird Studies Canada coordinate the Canadian IBA program. The Scott Islands stretch 46 km in a northwesterly direction from Cape Scott, at the northwest tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. More than 2 million seabirds nest on the islands every year, including 55 % of the world’s population of Cassin’s Auklets, 7 % of the world’s population of Rhinoceros Auklets, and 2 % of the world’s population of Tufted Puffins. The islands are well protected by their remoteness, existing legislation and solid governmental and public support for their conservation. The three outermost islands (Beresford, Sartine and Triangle islands) are ecological reserves, managed by BC Parks, for which access is limited to research and requires a permit. The two innermost islands (Lanz and Cox islands) have been designated under the British Columbia Park Act as a Class A park. These five separate provincial protected areas comprise the Scott Islands. Five threats have been identified for seabird populations of the Scott Islands: consequences of animal introductions, oil pollution, fisheries, disturbance, and climate change. Raccoon and Mink were intentionally introduced in the 1930s to Cox and Lanz islands and likely decimated nesting seabirds on those islands. These introduced animals take young seabirds prospecting for burrows and thus may still represent a drain on bird populations.

  • 5 Edition Compiled by Rick Toochin, Jamie Fenneman
    British Columbia Rare Bird List: Casual and Accidental Records th July 15, 2018: 5 Edition compiled by Rick Toochin, Jamie Fenneman, Paul Levesque and Don Cecile. Comments? Contact E-Fauna BC The following is a rare bird list of the casual and accidental bird species that have been recorded within the boundaries of British Columbia. The taxonomic order follows the American Ornithological Society’s Fifty-eighth supplement to the A.O.S Check-list of North American Birds (Chesser et al. 2017). There are no previous publications available that list all of the records in one document. Skin specimens, photographs, tape recordings, and/or adequate field notes document many of these records, and with the introduction of digital cameras to birding in the early 2000s many records in the past 10 years have been photographed; however, field notes remain extremely valuable and, particularly as some of these records are solely substantiated by field notes. In the case of records with no supporting documentation, the records are listed as “hypothetical” and are separated from the better substantiated (“confirmed”) records. In addition, for several species the identification is correct, but the origin of the bird may be in question; these species are also considered “hypothetical” here. With the introduction of chat groups in 1999/2000, as well as personal birding blogs in the mid- to late 2000s, there are many more outlets to share and document birds today than in prior years. In many cases, digital photos accompany reported records, rendering the decisions of records committees almost obsolete for many sightings. These committees do play an important function in the review of records, however, as they provide an objective platform to help separate well-documented, and presumably accurate, records from those that are less reliable.
