  • Acknowledgements
    Acknowledgements The history of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) reveals a dynamic account of professionalism, the unifying effort of many, and the motivation that drove the Board from its first day in 1951 through modernity. This narration endeavours to offer an objective viewpoint that unites documentation and individual recollection to tell the inspiring chronicle of the men and women who have joined forces in order to work towards a higher aim, a common vision. The history of VIREB reveals a philosophy of professionalism; its story is paralleled by the earned expertise of the real estate industry as a whole. It is with gratitude that the author recog- nizes those who were interviewed for the history as representatives of the evolving eras of the Board: Allan Armstrong, Pat Moore, Lloyd Wood, Reg Eaton, Ralph Walker, Bob Clarke, Gordon Blackhall, Jack Geisler, Dermot Murphy, Rick Evans (reflecting upon his Father Jack’s contribu- tion), Marty Douglas, Randy Forbes, and Donn Gardner. Their vast knowledge, strategic sense, and commitment to the industry are legendary and the history was not only told, but made with their help. While these Members and Associates have been instrumental in telling the story of the Board’s history they are not alone, countless Members stand equal in knowledge and commit- ment, and their actions are clearly recorded within the sixty years of Board Minutes. Above all, it is the Membership that directs the Board. It is that collective voice that has been the guiding force of VIREB; its history is the history of its Members. Supporting the Board Directors and Membership are the men and women that have orches- trated the business of the Board.

Tamagawa University's Director of International Education. Hashimoto, who had made a special journey from Tokyo to Nanaimo for the occasion, brought greetings from Tamagawa President Dr. Tetsuro Obara in which he emphasized the strength of the links between the two institutions. "It is our dearest wish. "he said, "that this garden shall become a living symbol of fellowship and goodwill between Tamagawa and Malaspina. It is our intention that the garden will serve as a place of recreation and relaxation for both College students and the people of Nanaimo. " The garden, located beside the Art Building, was constructed by a Vancouver based firm of landscape gardeners and includes a Japanese style tea house ' and a pool spanned by a bridge which Dr. Obara says stands for the "Bridge of Communication which has enabled :our unde r standing and friendsh i p to grow." It is our earnest hope," he added , "that this symbolic bridge will serve us well and that our future efforts wi ll be rewarded with an even greater depth of frie ndship and unders tanding.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report January 7, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need to win Nanaimo to continue the government. It’s that simple.” Premier John Horgan nods to the significance of the upcoming by-election during NDP ​ ​ ​ ​ candidate Sheila Malcolmson’s campaign launch in Nanaimo Saturday. ​ ​ Today in B.C. On the schedule The House is adjourned for the winter break. MLAs are scheduled to return to the House on February 12 for the delivery of the government’s throne speech. Parties kick off Nanaimo by-election campaigns Former NDP MLA Leonard Krog, now mayor of Nanaimo, joined Premier John Horgan to ​ ​ ​ ​ launch former NDP MP Sheila Malcolmson’s bid for his former seat on Saturday. ​ ​ “This NDP government has done all the positive things the B.C. Liberals could have done if they wanted to,” Krog said at the event, professing confidence that his former party will retain the ​ ​ seat. “Nanaimo, apparently, it is the safest seat in the universe, but no seats are safe unless you work hard,” the premier said, acknowledging the significance of the upcoming campaign. The B.C. Liberals also launched candidate Tony Harris’ campaign on Saturday. Harris, a ​ ​ well-known local businessman, contends the riding has been considered a safe NDP seat for so long that the party has taken it for granted. “I’m confident that Hub City voters are ready for a new voice in Victoria — a local, homegrown voice that’s focused on big, bold ideas,” Harris said in a post on his campaign page, in which he ​ ​ also accused Malcolmson’s campaign of lacking “a single mention of any new ideas about how to make our city better.” On Sunday, the B.C.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • The Four Stages of Life President's Report September 2010
    A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER OF THE NANAIMO FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY Fall 2010 ISSN 1185-166X (Print)/ISSN 1921-7889 (Online) Volume 31-3 The Four Stages of Life President’s Report September 2010 Well, another summer draws to a close. As the days get cooler and shorter there isn’t the guilt of sitting inside looking at difficult to read hand writing staring back at us from the most recent microfilm ordered in from Salt Lake City. Or, the hours spent pouring over letters or cert ificates you’ve received from distant relatives that might provide that nugget of information that will help you further your research. I spent the summer organizing and digitizing my many boxes of photos that have landed on my lap after Aunts and Uncles h ave passed away. I think the show “Hoarders” has prompted me to get more organized. Doing this made me take a closer look at what I had (many duplicates) and I have been able to identify many of the people in the photos. I was even able to confirm someone in a photo from 1905/1906 by finding out that the photographer lived in the same area as the person in the photo lived. It’s amazing what Google is able to help you find if you use the right combination of words in their Advanced Search. We’re back to ou r general meetings on the 3 rd Mondays of the month at Beban Park Social Center. The executive is hoping that someone will volunteer to be the Program Administrator who is responsible for finding our speakers for each meeting as well as advising the various media outlets of each meeting.
