Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

Gyawali Place and Date of Trial: Victoria, B.C. February 24-28, 2020; and June 8, 2020 Place and Date of Judgment: Victoria, B.C. June 30, 2020 Snaw-Naw-As First Nation v. Attorney General of Canada Page 2 Introduction [1] The E&N Railway (the “Railway”) on Vancouver Island runs from Victoria to Courtenay, with a branch line from Parksville to Port Alberni and a spur from the main line in Nanaimo to a rail yard and barge loading facility. The Railway, now owned and operated by the defendant Island Corridor Foundation (“ICF”), transects 1.3 km of the plaintiff First Nation’s reserve lands in Nanoose. This strip of land (the “Lands”) is subject to a right of way in favour of ICF (the “ROW”). [2] At issue is whether the Lands remain alienated from the plaintiff and subject to the ROW given the Railway infrastructure has deteriorated and rail service has been discontinued except for freight traffic on the Nanaimo spur line. [3] The plaintiff seeks: a) A declaration that the lands subject to the ROW revert to the administration and control of Canada for the use and benefit of Snaw- Naw-As as a part of the Snaw-Naw-As reserve upon the cessation of railway operations; b) In the alternative, a declaration that the lands subject to the ROW revert to the administration and control of Canada in trust for Snaw-Naw-As upon the cessation of railway operations.

  • Vision Plan for Sechelt
    Vision Plan for Sechelt June 2007 Vision Plan Page i Acknowledgements The preparation of this vision would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of the Vision Plan Steering Committee, whose members are listed on page 1, and funding support from the District of Sechelt and the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia. The steering com- mittee met on twelve occasions to oversee the preparation of the vision. Individual members also volunteered at all major consultation events. The preparation of this vision would also not have been possible without the people who provided information throughout the visioning process, including all who agreed to be interviewed and all who attended consultation events. Your commitment and dedication to making Sechelt a better place to live is truly commendable. Special thanks to Ann Watson, who provided access to the Helen Dawe Collection in the Sechelt Community Archives. The historic photographs were of great assistance in defining an identity for Sechelt and in providing a context for the Vision Plan. The steering committee would like to specifically acknowledge the contributions of one of its mem- bers, Clifford Smith, who passed away during the visioning process. Prepared for the District of Sechelt by John Talbot & Associates Inc. and Kasprisin Pettinari De- sign, with the assistance of Ande Flower, Avril Orloff and Monty Wood. Vision Plan Page ii Executive Summary As one resident stated: Sechelt is at a crossroads. The development types of the past are no longer applicable today. Developable land is becoming more and more scarce and the forests and open spaces which define the community are being lost forever.
