  • Wildsafebc Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Annual Report
    WildSafeBC Annual Report 2020 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Prepared by: Devin Pawluk, WildSafeBC Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Coordinator 0 WildSafeBC Squamish-Lillooet Regional District 2020 Annual Report Executive Summary This report describes the activities of the WildSafeBC Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Program between May 1st and November 30th, 2020. This program is new to the SLRD and complements the work being doing in the Bear Smart Communities of the District of Squamish and the Resort Municipality of Whistler. The SLRD consists of four member municipalities (District of Lillooet, Village of Pemberton, Resort Municipality of Whistler, District of Squamish) and four unincorporated rural Electoral Areas (A, B, C, D) (Figure 1 and Figure 2). While Squamish and Whistler have their own education programs, there was a recognized need for a human-wildlife conflict reduction education in the rural areas and smaller communities. The WildSafeBC SLRD Program focused on the communities of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek, Squamish Valley, Pemberton Meadows, and Lillooet. The SLRD is located within the traditional territories of the Líl'wat, Squamish, St'at'imc, Stó:lō, Tsleil-Waututh, Nlaka'pamux, Tsilhqot'in, and Secwepemc Nations. Pemberton serves as the approximate geographic center of the region and hosts the SLRD office. This season was unusual in that there were several reports of grizzly bears in both Squamish and Whistler. In addition, near Lillooet there were three separate incidents where people were attacked by either a black bear, grizzly bear, or a cougar. Black bears remain the most commonly reported species for the area followed by cougars and coyote.

  • Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02)
    GeoFile 1999-01 Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02) Originally created as a web article in 1999, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1999 Abstract The Bridge River mining camp, known principally for gold-quartz mineralization, is remarkably similar to the Mother Lode camp of California in terms of ore mineralogy, wallrock alteration, and geological setting. In both camps, ore veins occupy major fault zones in belts of elongated serpentinite bodies flanked by granitic plutons. The camp encompasses five former mines including two large gold producers (Bralorne and Pioneer), three small producers (Wayside, Minto, and Congress), and more than 60 surrounding mineral prospects. It is underlain by Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary beds and igneous intrusions. The Bralorne intrusions and Pioneer volcanic rocks are the most consistently mineralized rocks in the area. The intrusions form small gabbro and diorite stocks aligned along the Cadwallader fault zone and in the Shulaps complex. Zircon from a coarse-grained phase of the Bralorne diorite yielded a U-Pb date of 293± 13 Ma indicating that the intrusions are among the oldest in the area. These rocks have 45-55% SiO2 (averaging 50.8%), similar to the Pioneer volcanic rocks, but have relatively high Mg and low Ti and iron oxides. The Bralorne and the Pioneer rocks are clearly discriminated on Ti versus felsic index (Qz+Or+Ab) plots. The Bralorne intrusions are further characterized by Ti/V values close to the 10 line and resemble ocean island arc magmas.
