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.

  • Bennett's Dam Projects – Power to the Lower Mainland
    CHAPTER 7 – Bennett's Dam Projects – Power to the Lower Mainland DURING THE 1960s British Columbia undertook what remains the greatest building project in its history, dwarfing previous undertakings such as the Kitimat Smelter and the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The Portage Mountain (now W.A.C. Bennett) dam on the Peace River and the Mica Creek dam on the Columbia River were each in their own right what are now called “world class” projects, but building them at the same time made them among the most ambitious construction projects in history. When it was officially opened in 1968 the Portage Mountain Dam was the largest dam in the western world: only the Soviet Union’s Bratsk hydro station dam in Siberia was larger. Mica Creek, when its dam was completed in 1973, was the site of the largest earth-filled dam anywhere in the world. The dam projects were a product of Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s determination to develop British Columbia’s natural resources as quickly as possible. As noted in Chapter 3, Bennett believed that it was his government’s job to build the infrastructure which would make it possible for private corporations to develop the province’s natural resources. But while he began building highways almost from the moment he came to power, it was not until the 1960s that he was presented with an opportunity to undertake the massive, and massively expensive, hydro-electric projects of which he dreamed. BENNETT’S TWO RIVERS POLICY One obvious place to build the kind of dams Bennett wanted was in the Kootenays, on the Canadian side of the Columbia River.

  • Geofile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14)
    GeoFile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1997 Originally created as a web article in 1997, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. Abstract The Slocan map area of southeastern British Columbia contains 271 documented mineral occurrences, including 125 in the Slocan City area and 123 in the Slocan Camp area. The area is within the Selkirk Mountains and includes the communities of New Denver, Silverton, and Slocan City on the shores of Slocan Lake (Figure 1). Figure 1: Mineral Occurrences of the Slocan Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) BC Geological Survey Mining History The Slocan area is one of the oldest mining camps in the province which flourished after the turn of the century and has continued to produce intermittently ever since. The history in the West Kootenays dates back to the 1820s when the Bluebell deposit (082FNE043), near Riondel on Kootenay Lake was discovered. Active exploration began around 1865. In 1883, Thomas Hammil located the Lulu and Spring claims (082FNE148) at Ainsworth. In the late 1880’s, Jim Brennan, a prospector working west of Ainsworth, collected some high grade silver samples which sparked considerable interest in this new and virtually unexplored area. After initial interest at Sandon, prospectors extended their range of exploration to the south and west, discovering several deposits containing appreciable gold on Memphis Creek and locating the Dayton claim (082FNW173) in 1893 near Slocan City. During this period, the sustained mining activity throughout the Slocan area provided the incentive for the Canadian Pacific Railway to extend their line south and east from Nakusp to Kaslo and Cody in 1895, and connect Slocan City with the Nelson line in 1897.

Department of GEOGRAPHY The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date September 25th, 1990 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Like many North American resource-based rural communities, the Slocan Valley in southeastern British Columbia experienced a decline in its population and economy during the first half of this century. However, in the late 1960s, mainly young, well-educated and often idealistic members of the back-to-the-land movement began to re-settle the area. The influx reached its peak in the mid 1970s, and at a diminished level, continues. Currently this group of recent settlers comprises approximately one-quarter of the valley's population of 5000.

  • Columbia Valley Environmental Resource Database Analysis Prepared for the Columbia Wetland Stewardship Partners
    Columbia Valley Environmental Resource Database Analysis Prepared for the Columbia Wetland Stewardship Partners Maggie Romuld, MSc RPBio Dr. Suzanne Bayley Acknowledgements Funding and in-kind contributions for this project were provided by the following organizations: Sitka Foundation Lush Foundation Columbia Basin Trust Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation Columbia Valley Foundation Many of the Partner organizations provided in-kind contributions This report should be referenced as follows: Romuld, M. and S.E. Bayley. 2017. Columbia Valley Environmental Resource Database Analysis. Report prepared for the Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partners. Parson, BC. CWSP Resource Database Analysis: Draft 1 Executive Summary The Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partnership (CWSP) has identified a number of objectives to guide the work of the organization. The objectives include maintaining the functional processes that drive the Columbia Wetland system; all the present habitat elements in the system; and the entire range of historically present species in the wetlands and the river system. The CWSP has also stated that it is “important for the CWSP and agencies to have a knowledge of the natural range of variation of natural processes so that they can detect changes that may be affecting the ecosystem, especially those changes that can be influenced by management actions.” To fulfil those objectives, the CWSP must have access to the results of projects designed to expand knowledge of Columbia Wetland ecosystems, and must understand where there are knowledge gaps that could derail attempts to maintain or improve those systems. Therefore, in early 2017, CWSP initiated the creation of a resource database containing documents relevant to the headwater region of the Columbia River.
