The Fraser Basin Council has an important story to tell, and what is fundamental is that the Council rarely takes a starring role in that story—some of its best, most dramatic work comes in arranging centre stage for others. The Fraser Basin Council has a stellar reputation as a trusted, independent, non- profit organization dedicated to sustainability. That reputation has been built one relationship at a time, as the Council works together with government, the private sector, community organizations and citizens to make the Fraser Basin a better place. The Council promotes all aspects of sustainability—social, economic and environmental—and works on projects as diverse as integrated flood risk management, rural partnerships and sustainable urban design. The touchstone for the Council is its Charter for Sustainability, which sets a framework for collaboration, long-term thinking and principles of sustainability. Sustainability is a practical concern. After all, what most people want for themselves, their children and their grandchildren is a good quality of life, strong economic opportunities and a healthy environment. Meeting all those aspirations in a balanced way is the challenge. Government, the private sector and civil society already entrust to the Fraser Basin Council many critical research studies, educational programs and collaborative initiatives on sustainability. Because it is recognized as an impartial, non-partisan organization focused on collaboration, the Council is ideally placed to help other agencies resolve concerns and coordinate responsibilities on some of today’s toughest issues. If ever there was a time for shared leadership on sustainability, the time is now. In March, 2006 the first Canadian public opinion survey on sustainability was released. This was part of a larger public research project sponsored in part by the Council. The survey results offer hope. Canadians do care greatly about sustainability, and they are willing to see changes. But as individuals they feel isolated—labouring under the mistaken belief that their neighbours do not share the same concerns. 2 The Fraser Basin Council Annual Report 2005/2006 These thoughts also call up memories of a close collaboration with our Vice- Chair, Chief Roy Mussell, who passed away—far too young—earlier this year. I miss him greatly, as do so many others. It is a rare privilege to know someone as extraordinary, as talented and as wise as Roy. He was a true leader of people, and a friend to each of them. Everyone in positions of leadership must collaborate to prove that collective efforts do make a difference. The Council can help. We offer experience and expertise, inspiration and sensitivity to others throughout the Fraser Basin, and indeed beyond. I would like to thank all the directors with whom I have had the pleasure to work over my three years as Chair. I leave this organization in good hands, those of its new Chair, Dr. Charles Jago and his colleagues on Council, and with our outstanding Executive Director David Marshall and his superb staff. These thoughts also call up memories of a close collaboration with our Vice- Chair, Chief Roy Mussell, who passed away—far too young—earlier this year. I miss him greatly, as do so many others. It is a rare privilege to know someone as extraordinary, as talented and as wise as Roy. He was a true leader of people, and a friend to each of them. Roy Mussell was also one of the creators of the Fraser Basin Council, and the Council will always reflect that creativity. The Council does a great deal, every day, both in leadership and in service to others. It’s a best-kept secret that deserves to be a secret no longer.

  • Fish 2002 Tec Doc Draft3
    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.

Administrative History An Ecological Reserve is an area of Crown land (public land) with the most special conservation designation within the British Columbia Protected Areas system. The purposes of the reserves are for scientific research, the establishment of benchmark areas to measure changes in ecosystems, protection of biological diversity, protection of rare and endangered organisms, and the preservation of unique, unusual or outstanding natural phenomena. In the 1960s and `70s, Canada participated in a decade of research known as the International Biological Program (IBP); this involved the description of essential sites on standard international check-sheets. In some cases, check-sheets are the only source of information for many ecological reserves. The British Columbia Ecological Reserves Act passed in 1971; this meant that BC became the first Province in Canada to give permanent protected status to ecological reserves. The Province has the world’s most comprehensive ecological reserves program, as of 2015, there are 148 ecological reserves in BC. University of British Columbia Professor Vladimir Joseph Krajina (1905-1993) advocated for the formation of ecological reserves throughout the 1950s amidst the increase in logging in the Province.
