It was the first time in 60 years or so that a cultural ceremony was held in the remote community, he said. The occasion was a celebration of the village's new hybrid generation station and distri- bution system. The new diesel/battery station brings Elhlateese reliable, cost effective and safe power and opens the doors to many social and economic opportunities, explained Cootes. The new system has two 100 kilowatt diesel generators (named Lucy and Ethel by a worker who helped install the station) that not only power the community but r renew the energy stores of a bank of batteries as part of the state-of -the -art system.

  • A Review of Geological Records of Large Tsunamis at Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and Implications for Hazard John J
    Quaternary Science Reviews 19 (2000) 849}863 A review of geological records of large tsunamis at Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and implications for hazard John J. Clague! " *, Peter T. Bobrowsky#, Ian Hutchinson$ !Depatment of Earth Sciences and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6 "Geological Survey of Canada, 101 - 605 Robson St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5J3 #Geological Survey Branch, P.O. Box 9320, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 9N3 $Department of Geography and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada BC V5A 1S6 Abstract Large tsunamis strike the British Columbia coast an average of once every several hundred years. Some of the tsunamis, including one from Alaska in 1964, are the result of distant great earthquakes. Most, however, are triggered by earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone, which extends along the Paci"c coast from Vancouver Island to northern California. Evidence of these tsunamis has been found in tidal marshes and low-elevation coastal lakes on western Vancouver Island. The tsunamis deposited sheets of sand and gravel now preserved in sequences of peat and mud. These sheets commonly contain marine fossils, and they thin and "ne landward, consistent with deposition by landward surges of water. They occur in low-energy settings where other possible depositional processes, such as stream #ooding and storm surges, can be ruled out. The most recent large tsunami generated by an earthquake at the Cascadia subduction zone has been dated in Washington and Japan to AD 1700. The spatial distribution of the deposits of the 1700 tsunami, together with theoretical numerical modelling, indicate wave run-ups of up to 5 m asl along the outer coast of Vancouver Island and up to 15}20 m asl at the heads of some inlets.

  • An Explorative Study Into the Sedimentary Structures Left from the Good Friday Tsunami
    Proceedings from the University of Washington School of Oceanography Senior Thesis, Academic Year 2012-2013 Finding ‘Good Friday’ An explorative study into the sedimentary structures left from the Good Friday tsunami Isaac Benton 1University of Washington, School of Oceanography, Box 355351, Seattle, Washington 98195 [email protected] Received June 2013 NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY In 1964 the small logging town of Port Alberni, Vancouver Island B.C., was struck by the tsunami generated by the Good Friday earthquake ( ) originating near Anchorage, Alaska. This is Canada’s most destructive tsunami to date, resulting in nearly $72,000,000 in damages (adjusted for inflation). The destructive nature of the tsunami is the result of tsunami ‘ringing’ inside of Alberni Inlet, a narrow 42 km long inlet on the west side of Vancouver Island. The trapped energy of the tsunami oscillated for at least 2 days which at times exceeded wave heights of 8 m (Fine et al. 2008). In attempts to find evidence left from this tsunami on the seabed of Alberni Inlet a tsunamite, any sedimentary structure deposited from a tsunami, was recovered in one of the inlets deep basins. This tsunamite was identified as being deposited close to the year 1964 through the use of core sampling, x-radiography, and Cesium (137Cs) dating. The structure found is comprised of a thick layer of sand and gravel sandwiched between two layers of mud. The findings support the theory that low wave energy at the bottom of several of Alberni Inlet’s deep basins (>200m) that are separated by sills ensured that any tsunamite deposited there was not remobilized, re-suspended, and thus destroyed.

We have not received a reply but assume that the Council will not be invited. It is with regret and disappointment that we observe that of the 39 witnesses that have appeared before the committee to date, only two spoke on behalf of a single First Nation. Given the centrality of fisheries to coastal First Nations throughout Canada, we can only hope that the Committee intends to hear from additional First Nation representatives before it concludes its review of Bill C-68. In the absence of an opportunity to speak to the Committee in person, please consider the attached written submission.
