  • Robson Valley Land and Resource Management Plan Summary - April 30, 1999
    Robson Valley Land and Resource Management Plan Summary - April 30, 1999 Robson Valley Land And Resource Management Plan - Introduction The approved Robson Valley Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) provides broad direction for the sustainable use of Crown land and resources in the Robson Valley area. The plan, developed through a local planning process and in consultation with various sectors, balances economic, ecological, spiritual, recreational and cultural interests. It will help to provide greater land use certainty, preserve natural areas for future generations, maintain resource-sector jobs for local workers and increase opportunities for tourism and recreation. Now that it has been approved by government, the Robson Valley LRMP will be implemented by government agencies, including the provincial ministries of Forests; Environment, Lands and Parks; Energy and Mines; and Employment and Investment. The approved plan will guide a variety of resource management programs and activities, such as forest development planning under the Forest Practices Code. The Planning Area All aspects of land and resource management were considered for this area in east central British Columbia. The plan area includes the 1.2 million hectare (ha) Robson Valley timber supply area and the adjacent 223,000 ha Mount Robson and Mount Terry Fox provincial parks. About 4,000 people live in the area, which includes the major communities of McBride and Valemount. The Planning Process The Robson Valley LRMP recommendations and options were developed over a three year period by people representing more than 30 interest sectors. Every aspect of the plan was negotiated at the Robson Valley Round Table and the planning team was able to agree to the majority of the recommendations they developed.

  • A Historical Guide to Local Events Through Newspapers Summary For
    A Historical Guide to Local Events Through Newspapers Summary for the McBride – Valemount Region 1970-2002 Prepared by: Laura Ryser and Greg Halseth Geography Program University of Northern British Columbia 2003 1 Introduction The Canada Research Chair in Rural and Small Town Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia has been supporting community based research into the social and economic changes important to the rural and small town places of northern B.C. Past research has included studies of community resilience in the 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, and Quesnel areas. Other work has looked at public participation in resource planning exercises in Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Smithers, Clearwater, Powell River, and Kaslo. Recently, extensive work has been done with Mackenzie and Tumbler Ridge. Some of the results of these studies can be found on the website: http://web.unbc.ca/geography/faculty/greg. Presently, research projects are underway in the Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Kitimat areas as well as in the Robson-Canoe valleys. In each of our research exercises, we are keenly interested in how people are reacting to opportunities and challenges in the places they live and work. To ensure that our work does not focus only upon some >temporarily important= topic, we conduct extensive reviews of local historical information so as to create a deeper portrait of these places. In the end, we are interested in how people work to address challenges and opportunities in places, over time. One of the key sources of historical information which we use is local newspapers. We read all the editions of the papers we could get a hold of and identify issues and stories for later references and analysis.

The public support for this project has been overwhelming and we are privileged to work on a project of this nature. We have been studying the Premier Range since the 1990s and due to climate, elevations, glaciers, snowfall and snow quality we believe it is one of the most suitable locations for a sightseeing and ski resort in North America. Our experience in ski area planning and master planning dates back to the 1970s, when our company group was founded. Our approach and design philosophy is simple: always seek a better idea and a better solution for each unique project. We allow the natural environment to shape our decisions, rather than shaping the environment to fit. For projects to be truly successful, they must offer a lasting vision that stands the test of time – even when faced with changing markets, trends, technology, and demographics.

  • Canadian National Railways Series 2002.1.1 Part of the Prince George Railway & Forestry Museum Collection
    Canadian National Railways Series 2002.1.1 Part of the Prince George Railway & Forestry Museum Collection SERIES DESCRIPTION Dates of Creation: 1914-1993 Physical Description: 4.7 m of textual records and other material; 8 maps; 54 plans; 3 posters; 200+ technical drawings Administrative History: Canadian National Railway (CN) was incorporated as a Crown corporation on the 6th of June 1919. It is the longest railway system and the only transcontinental railway in North America. Canadian National originated from five railways: the Grand Trunk Railway, the Intercolonial Railway, the Canadian Northern Railway, the National Trans Continental Railway, and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (1917-1923). The conglomeration came about after a Royal Commission was called in 1917, which recommended the nationalization of all the railways except the Canadian Pacific Railway. During the depression of the 1930s there was a loss in traffic volume partially due to highway and air traffic increases, which led to a decrease in wages and employment. From the 1950s to 1960s, Canadian National began to modernize and converted to diesel locomotives and electronic signaling. The head office was also moved to Montréal. By 1989 Canadian National divested its non-rail business and abandoned thousands of kilometers of track, networks, and branch lines across the country to become a primarily freight rail company. In 1995 Canadian National was privatized and many of its shares purchased by American investors; however, the headquarters remained in Montréal to ensure that Canadian National remained a Canadian corporation. Scope and Content: The Canadian National Railway series consists of administrative records, safety records, correspondence between departments, labour records, records pertaining to train movements, maintenance records, and ephemera.
