Participants discussed Taseko’s need to complete archaeological studies of the areas affected by the projects’ footprint, and discuss Esketemc’s traditional use of the area affected by the project. Councilors Has Taseko already chosen a power line option? Andy Chelsea & Why did the government request Options 4 and 5? Phillip Robbin Beth Bedard Doesn’t Fish Lake contain a unique species of rainbow trout? Research Co- How will the fish be monitored during operations? What would a monitoring plan entail? ordinator Where do the fish in Fish Lake spawn? Will development of the mine lead to the deeding of land around Fish Lake? Pat Chelsea Why does Taseko Mines say that the existing experience at Fish Lake is medium? Has there been any polling done of local users? Don’t users rank the experience as high? What criteria did you use to rank the experience as medium? If you have fish suited to a particular habitat that grow to a certain size, even if it is smaller than normal, what is wrong with that? How will you use Big Onion as a compensation lake? How do the fish be moved? Will the lakes be joined together? How big will the pit be? Has acid rock drainage been considered? How large is the tailings area? Will there be seepage from the tailings storage sites to local rivers such at the Chilko? Will there be employment and economic opportunities for the Esketemc? Blackdome Mine has recently hired a number of contractors from outside the area and jobs are not available to the local labour force. Will Taseko operate in this manner as well? Has the routing for the transmission line been selected? DATE FN CONTACT NATURE OF DETAILS (CONCERN, OPINION, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) CONTACT Why were First Nations not consulted on the route selection and do we consider this meeting as consultation? What will there be along the right-of-way other than the transmission line? Will there be a road for maintenance? Does the community have concerns with Route 6? Has Esketemc completed their archaeology and traditional use studies? (TSK) Why was Route 9 not selected? Was cost a factor against choosing Route 9 and is it the only factor in choosing Option 6? Has the Esketemc done archaeology and traditional use studies on the power line corridor? (TSK) Who will do the archaeology work? Why has Arcas been hired? Why weren’t the Esketemc consulted? Esketemc should be considered as an archaeological consultant. Beth Bedard is an archaeologist who has had permits in the past How will the Esketemc be informed about the requirement for archaeology and traditional use studies? How far does the Esketemc interests along the transmission line extend? (TSK) How did the Esketemc use the land on a seasonal basis? (TSK) Will the Esketemc be able to access power from the line going to the mine? Will the line be a private line? Would Taseko consider trading power for the right to use the right-of-way? The Esketemc anticipate that they will have a demand for 3-phase power for a proposed sawmill development on I.R, #9. Also, Alkali Lake Ranch would like to access to 3-phase power. How much wider would the right of way have to be to accommodate a distribution line? What other archaeology or traditional use work has been done in the area? (TSK) Could a distribution line be run from the substation at Dog Creek or the new Taseko sub-station? Are migration corridors identified on the wildlife capability map? Can Esketemc get copies of the mapping that has been done along the transmission corridor? Esketemc would like 1:20,000 maps. (They could be provided in digitised format) 99-Jan-08 Esketemc Letter Dennis to Arcas Consulting Archaeologists requesting a Study Plan for mine site and transmission line. 99-Jan-25 Pat Chelsea Telephone Penny Foster – Left message for Pat to call in order to arrange meeting 99-Jan-27 Chief Bill Chelsea Letter Dennis confirming discussion of Dec. 7/98 meeting and offering to host an open house and/or public meeting in their community. 99-Jan-28 Pat Chelsea Telephone Penny Foster – I called and left another message for Pat Chelsea to call me.

She will try and have Chief Bill Chelsea and Andy Chelsea in attendance. 99-Feb-11 Dennis Deans Meeting Taseko set up meeting with Esketemc on Feb. 11, 1999 at 1:00 to give an overview of the new mining info books. Penny Foster Will the water in our tailings pond look as bad as Highland Valley Copper? Phillip Robbin How many years will we be mining? Pat Chelsea Chief Bill Chelsea Will we be building a mountain and is the project as big as Highland Valley? Andy Chelsea How will we be leaving the area after the mine is closed? (councilor) Andrew expressed anger with the Chilcotin who are not even in the treaty process. He does not agree with the overlaps. What are the Chilcotin people telling us? Have we contacted third parties and what do they say? (Doug Mervyn, Larry Ramstad) Have we been in touch with the CCC to discuss the Land Use Plan. Will we ever be looking at bringing a road over from Bralorne? This would cause major problems for Esketemc. Several of the Esketemc community members stressed the importance of having their own people working on the arch. and traditional use studies. They mentioned McKewin Creek, Ward Creek, Mosquito Valley as areas of concern. They would like to have power so they could irrigate Wycott Flats. Were the other power line options cancelled because the bands involved made a lot of noise and if not why were they cancelled? Both Pat and Andy Chelsea said that if the project was a go then the Esketemc wanted something out of the mine (opportunity for jobs written in a contract). Bill expressed concern over the size of the power line. The band has serious problems with work that ARCAS has done for the forest service. Who has the final decision on the importance of the arch sites? Esketemc got a court injunction to stop a pipeline crossing the Fraser River. Andy suggested that ARCAS might do a good job if someone stays on their case.

    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 24, Number 3 April 2018 Social change advocate moves into Gov. House BCHappy has a new Lieutenant Governor Holidays, Janet Austin. Austin is a remarkable community leader and advocate for social change. She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012. Premier John Horgan and retiring Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon greet continued on Page 4 Governor General Julie Payette on her first official visit to BC.

  • Agencies and Organizations
    Made In B.C. – Volume VI A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Agencies and Organizations Bob Cowin Douglas College September 2012 Preface Is it really very important to understand how our postsecondary system acquired its current characteristics in order to foster consensus about the best way to move forward? I’m inclined to think it is, but not everyone agrees. In any event, we seem to be busier doing things in postsecondary education than in looking for patterns across those activities or in reflecting as a system on the long-term implications. A symptom of our malaise is the triumph of the public relations agenda. The documents I consult in preparing these historical reports used to be forthright in describing the organizations and, to varying extents, willing to describe some problems and challenges. Not so much anymore. Especially not for documents that are posted on the web for a year or two and then replaced by others with no apparent archiving that the public can access. There are, of course, numerous exceptions, but it seems to be increasingly difficult to find material that is “off message.” The irony is that in a period when accountability, transparency and open government have become buzzwords, I sometimes find it harder to track down recent information than for the bad old days before the information explosion. My tale, though, is not all sorrow and woe. I continue to be amazed at the power of the Internet to bring information to the corner of my desk in suburbia, and at the unexpected little gems that individuals have posted on the web.

  • Wilderness Or Working Forest? British Columbia Forest Policy Debate in the Vancouver Sun, 199 1-2003
    Wilderness or Working Forest? British Columbia Forest Policy Debate in the Vancouver Sun, 199 1-2003 Mark Christopher John Stoddart B.A., Athabasca University, 2002 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Sociology O Mark C.J. Stoddart, 2004 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Supervisor: Dr. W.K. Carroll ABSTRACT In this thesis, I use discourse analysis as a tool for examining four distinct environmental policy debates, as they have been represented in the Vancouver Sun. I examine the Protected Areas Strategy and the Forest Practices Code, which were introduced by the New Democratic Party government (199 1-2001). I also examine the Working Forest and the Results-based Forest Practices Code, which were introduced by the Liberal government (200 1-present). Drawing on Gramscian and Foucauldian theory, I argue that the network of powerlknowledge constructed by the Vancouver Sun limits debate over environmental policy to the hegemonic alternatives of "ecomanagerialism" and "eco-capitalism." This network of power/knowledge is constructed from three major organizational standpoints: government, industry and environmentalists. The voices of First Nations and labour are marginalized from the media construction of reality, as are environmental discourses that present a radical alternative to the ecological and social justice impacts of the "treadmill
